Personally, I freaking love what Wade is doing.

I cheer for whoever is wearing that LSU jersey to win games. Why should I give a shite where that player comes from. It’s not like when it was all high school recruits, I actually knew any of them. I don’t care if it’s some 18 y/o freshman from Georgia, a 20 y/o junior transfer from Directional U, or some 22 y/o from Italy. I wouldn’t know any of them. It would just be some dude that chose to come play in “dat purple jersey man”. High School kids were getting paid under the table 30 years ago and now they getting paid in the open. As long as it’s competitive and fun to watch and LSU is winning, I’m good with it!
The entire sports world shite on Wade for doing exactly what every blue blood had been doing for decades. The NCAA screwed up by not coming up with a workable NIL solution before it got so bad that Congress blew it all up. Death rides a pale horse and Will Wade is his name and I’m going to enjoy watching him burn the whole mess to the ground.

It seems as though he’s intentionally pushing the limits of what’s allowed…and I don’t even care. I have zero qualms with it. If it’s not explicitly agsinst the rules, then do it. Everyone else has been abusing loopholes for decades. Force them to change the rules if they don’t like it.

I will cheer for whoever is wearing a LSU jersey as well. However, I don’t think players that sign pro contracts should be able to go back to college.

Definitely seems like a gray area to me but I don’t care. If there’s a problem with it then they should change the rules.

Some of the guys that he is signing are ineligible according to the rules. They are going to hope that they get a friendly judge though that overturns the rulings.

Other than RJ Luis I don’t see anyone that fits this.
There’s plenty of precedent for years of people coming from European professional leagues and playing immediately.
Hell we tried to do this with last season with Ron Zipper McMahon just sucked at it.
Wade is just playing money ball.
We aren’t the Yankees (Duke) so we have to find other ways to find production for the money rather than dropping a bag for the top 10 high school seniors.

Most teams take 1 guy that is a questionable transfer and the NCAA and media look the other way. I love that Wade is just like, frick it. Let's fill the whole team that way.

Yeah ok. I have changed my mind on that one. If you are getting paid and it’s your living, that makes you a professional. How does it matter what level you play?
The NCAA needs to fix the years of eligibility issue they have . You only get 4 unless you do JC or CC then you can play 6 or 7. Come on….

College basketball has become a freaking joke. Eligibility needs to be clearly defined and strictly enforced.

The entire football team has basically signed a pro contract. These aren't amateur athletes any longer.

I am not a fan of where we are headed with college sports, but if that is where we are, let’s play the game everyone else is playing. I suspect Wade has a huge chip on his shoulder, and I support him in his vindication.

First, I don't like the idea of taking G-League players and pro European players to play college ball. It's backwards as to what college athletics is about. I guess with NIL and being paid to play opens the door for this kind of stuff. I'm not crazy about it for LSU because it will bring unwanted attention to our program in a negative way.....unless we win, then maybe it will be lightened up a bit.
Second, this situation is all the NCAA's fault. They have little to no guardrails on transfers and portals and have ruined what we all love about college sports. It is one thing to pay players, but to let them go shopping for the next year and switch teams every year of their college career is messed up. They blew this up and if they haven't placed guardrails or definitive rules to pro-league players coming to play college ball, then it is their own fault and I'll stand behind CWW with these moves.
Wade is trying to win NOW and is pushing boundaries of what is allowed or he is forcing the NCAA to set the rules with this boundary pushing he is doing. Either way I'm fine with it. I don't like what college sports has become thanks to the NCAA, but if the NCAA has not made rules about pro players coming to CBB, then it's their fault.
I have a feeling they will crack down on LSU and Wade on this topic. They don't like Wade, the media is not a fan of Wade and Wade/LSU have exposed the lack of guardrails the NCAA has allowed.

I wonder if Wade is buddies with a Louisiana governor that might be able to call in a favor or 4 and get these moflos eligible. Hmmm?

Which rules now in CBB are you referring to? I love it because you come out firing with a big
to the rest of CBB. Didn’t even make it two months before he made a decision to start in a trek to absolutely do whatever he could to rock the boat and tell everyone else he was not only back but more DGAF than his first stint.There are no “rules” right now. But even what you are I think referring to they actually changed it. No coach has done this yet where he went and got basically the majority of his team/rotation straight from Euro clubs.

You know what else does that?
A 3-15 SEC record.

The same ones that prevented Charles Bediako from playing last year.

What rule do you think I’m referring to and how did they change it?

That is true, but that is mainly LSU fans and local media. The national media didn't care until Wade came back.
If Wade wins and makes a big run, they will bash LSU/Wade for bringing in pro-players and ruining the nature of college sports. They won't turn and point the finger at the NCAA for not setting boundaries.

So if Alabama went and signed Cooper Flagg you’d be cool with it?

Would rather even under the old way, have had our coach pop up on federal wire tap and be ridiculed and ostracized by most of college basketball. But be in the NCAA tournament every year, and have NBA level talent on the team. Than be dead last 3/4 years and have some “respect” from who? I have said I enjoyed CMM as a person and 15 years ago probably would have been a very good hire at LSU, he is and was a good coach. He was in over his head at this level. Just at the end, the way in which Nate Oats talked about LSU in a press conference/ weekly media availability. He basically talked about LSU last year like we would a midweek LSU baseball game against a SWAC school. I would rather all the twitter finger warriors and blowhards say whatever they want but don’t look at our team like some directional development squad that is looked over and left for dead.

Are you referring to Georgia (the state on the east coast in America) or Georgia (the small country in Eastern Europe)
