I love how he opened his presser poking fun at all the rantards on here saying theyve been practicing 2 on 2 for the last month.

The team was a basement dweller last year.

Even if have these dudes aren't eligible we will still be better than last year!

We will have one of the best starting 5 we've had since Wade was here last time. The issue will be depth.

Basically what Wade said in one of his comments.

quote:

“Like I told our guys, we’re going to be unconventional. We’re going to be unapologetic about it. This is who we are. This is what we’re doing. This is the path that we charted. We’re going to go down it, and that’s fine. When you do stuff that’s unconventional, they’re waiting for you to fail. Everybody’s waiting for us to fail. That’s fine. If we fail, I own it. I own it. But I felt this is the best way to try to deliver a championship team for LSU from the jump that gives us the best chance to jumpstart our program. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong,” Wade said.

“We’re giving ourselves a chance at incredible upside. And if we’re no good, I mean, all right, we just got to live through one more bad year. We’ve had a few of them. We’ll live through one more bad one, and we’ll get it going next year.

We definitely have a better coach. The team listed right now on the LSU website might still win us more than 2 games in the SEC, but 4 players are gonna struggle to do that just from exhaustion.

But I do not expect, especially after the recent press conference, that this will be the case.

We are scheduled to have an exhibition game against McNeese St in 17 days and we still have only 4 players listed on the roster. Seems like we are cutting it a little tight.


Is this you submitting for a name change? What difference does it make whether or not you are notified of who is on the roster today? As long as Will knows who is on the team that is all that matters. I’m grateful that it seems like we are actually running a tight ship. Normally every little detail gets leaked out.

15 players. You are on a need to know basis. Nobody can scout us or gather film. Other opposing coaches not happy either


You're probably kidding, but 13 of the 15 players are known, so our opponents can essentially prepare for that roster. However, there isn't a lot of long range scouting in basketball, so that's not a serious advantage, nor a believable reason. Besides, our first tough opponent is La Tech, and they'll have 6 days to prepare for the roster that played against New Orleans.

Wade claims he is protecting the players that aren't listed on the roster. If any of the unlisted 13 have legal coverage, I don't understand why it is in their interest to not be formally added to the roster. Would they or LSU be punished?

I think Wade is either having fun yanking our chain by not listing players on the roster that he really believes will be cleared, or he is lying about his confidence and buying time. Also, if they are really practicing, it doesn't seem hard for reporters to park themselves by the gym to confirm that, and then report on it, rather than everyone having to rely on unconfirmed sources. I don't simply take him at his word.

We (LSU) have given a big "frick you" to the NCAA with Kiffin and Wade,


How so?

NC State was praised for hiring Will Wade after he brought McNeese to heights never seen in that program's history.

Lane Kiffin was given major props for bringing Ole Miss to a level they haven't been at since 1960.

All of the sudden they put on the purple and gold and the media hates them.

to all of them.
