The issue here is not clearing Smart...it’s if they do they clear WW also

That’s why they are thinking so hard about it. Once he’s cleared to play then they themselves are admitting there was nothing to the tapes. It’s why Wade is quiet and the admins are freaking out. It eliminates firing Wade with cause and will ramp up the pressure to #freewillwade. Alleva has made is own bed and now he can’t figure out what to do.

Clearing Smart does not clear Wade.

I agree with the above poster. Why do Smart and Wade have to be a package deal?

Or the hangup with clearing Smart is that there is something there they are worried about.
I think they would love to clear them both. They could have fired Wade already if they wanted to.

WW is on tape talking about offer to 3rd party on behalf of Smart. Smart can play the Cam card and claim no knowledge. Unless there is a paper trail, money deposit into account or FBI tapes of Smart, he can be cleared and have no effect on WW.

If Smart plays they are saying there is nothing to the tapes. Wade coaching is not an NCAA issue. He can coach and not risk anything. It’s the player that risks games being vacated. So if Smart plays they are saying the tapes were not a big deal. If the tapes didn’t disqualify Smart then by defecto they say Wade did nothing wrong in his recruitment.

This whole thing is dumb He already played in every game basically.
If something is found we're vacating everything. Just play the kid.
Our admin virtue signaling thinking they can reduce punishment from the NCAA. Not sure why they're trying to save the program from harsher sanctions. We're fricked for the next decade once again thanks to their stupidity.

Alleva's worried about what cereal he's going to eat in the morning.

Do yall think Javonte Smart is going to play?
No.
If Smart returns, then Wade should return. The two are tied. LSU seems unbelievably determined to fire Wade. Does not bode well for Smart at all . . . . or for LSU.

-Wade is in this situation because there's allegedly vague circumstantial conversation recorded about offering a player incentive to play for LSU
-That player is Javonte Smart
-Smart was held out by our own administration due to "an abundance of caution". That was a self sanctioned save face PR move that set a precedent
-If Smart is "cleared to play", then that is an admission that he has done nothing wrong and has not received any incentives in 2017
-If Smart did not receive any incentives to play in 2017 and the administration admits this by default of letting him play, then it will directly turn into the next order of action - which is if the recruit that is in question in this entire fiasco in the first place, then why exactly is Wade in the situation he's in. The admins want him to come in to "answer questions". All of the answers to those questions would be answered if they let Smart play.
-The administration made this bed one wrong move after another and by constantly doubling down on stupid every step of the way, they cannot crawfish now because well that would be bad for the ego and PR and it's evident that those are the two main factors driving every single PR move, not to much mention trying to allow Wade to hang himself so that they won't have to pay for his buyout. IF they crawfish now, it's admitting that they are wrong. That takes character and security.

Unless they have something else on WW, yes it does.

HAVE NO IDEA IF THE FOLLOWING IS TRUE-- but-- What if Wade gave money to 3rd party to pay Smart, and Javonte did not know and never received $$$-- a la Cam. Is WW cleared bc Smart ruled eligible to play?

This is untrue. If the university knows about these actions and does not come up with some type of corrective action, then they are on the hook for more severe penalties.

A wire tap of Wade actually making an offer to a recruit would be proof that such occurred. A wire tap of Wade talking about an offer that was made to a recruit during a conversation with someone else entirely is not proof that an offer was actually made. Wade might have had a reason for bringing the subject up and lying to Dawkins. With Smart denying that there was an offer made, there is no proof that it happened. Wade is clean to coach as the NCAA doesn't have jack shite on him.

Looks like someone has read my twitter post LINK
THIS IS WHY SMART WILL NOT BE CLEAR TO PLAY....
Alleva, F-cked this one up like he did the Les Miles Firing and the Head Coach Hiring.....
Alleva is the reason we ended up with O and not Jimbo...
The Guy(alleva) is an idiot
And his days are numbered as he put LSU in a VERY BAD POSITION!!!

The 3 idiots want Wade gone. Theyre in arse-saving mode, because theyre complicit in the mess, that they created, due to their gross incompetence.
I keep harping on it...They knew in Oct'18 about the transcript, and yet Smart continued to play.
