It’s not coming from the football budget!

Hopefully it’s not coming from baseball because we can win a lot of nattys over the next years with Jay and he needs the money.

WBB is largely funded by Kim’s donors that aren’t donating elsewhere and will not donate when she retires.


Regardless…. Not my money. Let’s ride with the General! Glad he’s back and hope he can prove the rest of the sport and all the haters wrong. F ‘em.

Insane incoming class so far.

Wade is raising his own money and basketball turns a profit unlike baseball. College baseball is fun in SEC territory, but it is not even in the same stratosphere as college basketball nationally, there is a ton more money on the basketball side.

Wade has a boot with a lot of cash stuffed in it.

I know of no other fan base that worries about winning more than LSU Fans. Just enjoy it!

Yep the fake news media wants you to think we don’t have any money because the state is poor as a whole.

Nobody bats an eye when any of the Texas schools or Oregon recruit like this though.

Will Wade is excellent at raising funds and being very well connected with donors and the fan base. I’m sure LSU has given him a good budget being Men’s Basketball generates a net profit for the department.

I noticed Landry brought on a few lake Charles guys on the board that have a lot of coin. Perhaps they know Wade.

Kim is largely funded by the football program.

The problem with a football player wanting to play hoops is Wade doesn’t have time to introduce a player in the middle of sec play

Plus Wade usually has a 8 man rotation by then and that’s really tough to crack when you miss all of summer and preseason practice time
