So the roster is filled out, but we aren't announcing? Lol, ok. We really putting the chess moves on em by only letting a backup announce.
Guys come on...dont be reduced to "confirmed" and then in the same sentence say they just waiting to announce.
Seriously, catch a grip on reality.
I hope we win every game, but this recruiting lying bullshite is ridiculous
Maybe 1 guy, but we holding out 12 silents? LoLOOLOLOLOLOL

A straw man which is just more make believe.

hey are clowns. We got 1 backup scrub who averaged 6 it's over 3 years. No one is dying to play for wade. If money is same, they'll go elsewhere.
He better start begging his old NC St players, because they sure aren't knocking to get in either.
On the flip, McMahon, who can't coach well, had a solid group wanting in. And all current players left after wade announced.
Now all the ones on their knees from wade will tell you this is all planned, and you are a nega. Who cares, the last 2 weeks is the absolute worst situation one could have imagined. Wade is in dire begging mode now. Even if he gets a couple solids, this situation is not even close to ideal.
This is one of the most dishonest/dumb post I have ever read on the rant and that's really saying something.

I have zero evidence to dispute this. But, at minimum, you have to admit the (what would be) numerous "silent commits" would be quite outside the norm.

Attack prior to any games being played….thats really rich. How long was McMahon given to prove himself and what was the result?

I'd just say this. Is it more likely a CBB coach that has brought 4 different teams to the NCCA tourney over a 10 year span is being very selective and quiet about putting together his roster or that the same coach is swinging a missing on every single target? I'm just gonna sit back and trust the guy that's gone the tourney every single year he's been a HC but one.

I have said this numerous times but what makes the silent commits even more fishy is the Kentucky kid. He publicly announces his visit and then publicly announces his committment. Glad to have him but why is his recruitment different than these silent commits? WHy does he get to be public but no one else does?
I am not suggesting they don't exist, just that they might not be traditional portal pickups. They will be 5 for 5 guys, or Euro guys, or G leaguers, or guys like Graves that we need to lure away from the NBA.

I agree. Wade gets the benefit of the doubt.
However, with every passing day the math begins to stop "mathing". Per 247, 168 of the top 200 ranked transfers are committed. Only one of those being to LSU. Considering LSU needs 12 more players, the more that "uncommitted" number shrinks the less likely it is LSU will get multiple of those players. Obviously, Wade could (and probably will) go outside of the top 200 for some guys AND he can still sign some HS recruits (though the available number within the top 150 is also fairly small), but at some point it has to come out who is on the roster.
I'm just saying it would be a very different course of action to see basically radio silence for 3+ weeks, then all of a sudden see multiple highly ranked players committed to LSU.

I tend to think his history of getting multiple teams to the NCAA tournament with fewer resources than he will have moving forward bodes well for our program.
He had at least 5x time money of any other program in the Southland at McNeese. People don't realize McNeese wants to be "the Gonzaga of the South". Their words. They continue to win games and make the tournament, even with Wade gone and retain really really good players that could easily go elsewhere. They have been serious for awhile. NC State gave him a HUGE NIL commitment when he took the job, and put themselves "in the conversation" with the Duke's UNC's of the conference. He underachieved there last year by all accounts and pre season projections, not even making the field of 64 and also losing 8 of his last 9 games, I want to say. So, there should be some "concerns". The playing field is level now as far as money.

Y’all gave McLoser 4 years, but can’t give Wade a couple months.

While the thought of McNeese saying they want to be the "Gonzaga of the South" is ridiculous, the rise in commitment and funding is SOLEY because of Wade. McNeese didn't one day decide after its entire history of being a school no one outside of SW LA had ever heard of that it was going to dump a ton of money into the basketball program to become a national power THEN hire Wade. Wade was the reason the funding was increased. McNeese will start to sink back into being McNeese (i.e. nothing close to the Gonzaga of the South) just like Buffalo has since Oats left, as have so many flash-in-the pan mid-major programs who had a great coach.

NIL numbers are always total BS. However, I do agree his team underachieved late last season.

Contrary to popular belief: (a) college basketball teams were paying for players well before NIL and (b) LSU wasn't taking some SMU football approach while Wade was here where it is was WELL outspending the competition. In reality, LSU was paying players under Wade about on the same level as it was under Jones (MAYBE very slightly higher). The difference is Wade is a far better game coach than Jones...which is why he had better results with good talent.
But to also suggest the "the playing field is level" now means you believe Wade won't be able to fundraise like he did at LSU in his first stint and at McNeese. If he was able to get a ton of money at LSU, then McNeese, then NC State, as you suggest, then why would he not be able to do the same at LSU?

So wait, let me be clear in your bookmark....you believe our roster is filled out and ALL of them are remaining silent and will be announced together....all 12 or so?
Be clear and specific. That guys post is literally the most absurd in TD history, or hes correct. Which is your side.
I 1000000000% know its not true.
Saying that to prop ww up like some insane hero, is something that should get that cat banned

No, I'm claiming that you are functionally a moron. You've proven to be already in the past. You're just proving it moreso.

Thats what I thought...its just you blabbering at whoever. Im right, and deep down you know it.
Was it you saying that? If not, did you climb all over him and clown his post?
Or let me guess, because it was positive and even though it was as bad as it can get, you let it slide. But anything shining light on the obvious facts, which are negative, is something that makes you scared.
GFY

Wade has time, but with LSU giving him a major boost in NIL, he should have less time. Especially considering people on this board used 1 year turnaround coaches against McMahon. Is Wade not as good as most/all of those coaches? Those same people have to be consistent and expect the same from Wade. There is no grace period for him. It was also widely reported that outside of last year, LSU was at the bottom of the NIL landscape. Context does matter.

100% agree, it was because of Wade, but that doesn't take away from the point that he was set up to have success there.

Because I don't think he's a great coach. Wade is really good at raising money, and he's got a great eye for talent, that's where he excels. Why did LSU have to hire 3 previous head coaches, and pay them handsomely? He got flat out coached by Sean Miller 3 times this season(which is really tough to do), a middle of the road SEC team. He also couldn't beat Auburn with a better roster. He went 1-4 against the SEC and 2-6 against the top 6 teams in the ACC. Had a favorable conference schedule.
It's a different game now.
