Why am I supposed to be so mad at Wade signing "pros"?

All of college is professional now.

Boot Up.

Yeah, about that. Not sure you understand what that means.
FYI, they have no Louisiana players on the state flagship team
So NO, the boot up sjit doesn't apply

I'm not "mad" at anyone but if this is what college sports is now, why should I care?
That's the part they're taking for granted.

100 Ish euros… Pro euros… Were in the tournament last year…………… Good old boys don’t like WW so the negative articles abound but bottom line is he DGAF

Of the Top-30 ranked players in the actual transfer portal whether they are signed or unsigned. 10 are internationals that some had years of professional experience before they came over to the States, while one or two actually still have professional contracts in place with overseas clubs. Not a word was said about the 6-7 universities they are committed/signed to. If you go look at Florida, Michigan, I didn’t but I would say probably most of the Sweet 16 teams in recent years, they have internationals with pro experience. Not a word was said until Wade did what he did. I will not go into or mention what Jeff Goodman said in his rant, because what he said crossed a line professionally, personally, and morally. If I was Wade not only would I never speak to him again, be hard pressed with what he said to not want to hurt him physically on site. But Todd Golden came out and said the same message that Tom Izzo and Jeff Goodman alluded to. But Todd Golden’s best shooter, who was the SEC 6th man of the year, and a huge piece to them winning it allI is a player from Slovenia that played professionally for years in lower leagues than any of the guys Wade is bringing in, and is speaking on Wade doing something wrong. Somebody make that make sense, not the part where Golden/Florida can do it but then Wade and LSU can’t because it could “destroy” or change CBB. I mean the part where every one of these players that Wade has committed were available to anyone else, not just college basketball teams, but any men’s rec league team, any countries national team, the NBA, the ABA which hasn’t existed in decades. Upwards of 15 major universities tried to get them, some like in the case if Dessert have been trying to get him over for multiple years and couldn’t get it done. So can just one voice have the stones to say the truth. CWW isn’t one of them, we don’t like him because not that we are threatened (they are) but we don’t like him because he is not asking any of us our opinions or letting us know what he wants to do.

So I know for a fact, that many of them tread really lightly because they go further they are speaking on a class of coaches and guys in the business. Oliver Prunell very well respected in the sport trusted and believed in Wade. Tommy Amaker widely respected and he might be in the top 5 of longest tenured coaches, trusted and believed in Wade that Will was his first hire ever. Shaka Snart widely respected in the sport, trusted and believed in Wade that he made Will his first hire ever. Quin Snyder, Mike Brey, Johnny Dawkins, Sean Miller, John Lucas Sr, and craziest of all Coach K who is more like the vast majority of basketball establishment hell the connections Wade built by his own character came from the Coach K tree, they all silently support him fully and respect him to no end, those are facts.

What a bunch of children nobody will say it to them, look he has every disadvantage going against him and still rolls up and continues to not only win, he is taking what you think is yours, flaunting it, and their response is what you see.

Its all a big joke now. A true farce to pretend these sports have anything to do with "student atheltics".

I am not mad at LSU for making a mockery of the retarded system but I hope big changes are made soon to this crap because its just stupid minor league ball

Kentucky didn’t pay Anthony Davis he was strictly an amateur back in the day. He probably even went to class. Hahahahahahaha

We were all against it when Bama signed Bediako after he'd already signed an NBA contract and played in the G-League.

Its hypocritical to be in favor of LSU doing the same. Especially after Bediako's lawsuit to regain eligibility ultimately failed. I don't want college sports to become a fall back option for players who went pro and couldn't cut it there, so they come back to try to play college ball again.

Once you sign with a professional league team, then you shouldn't be eligible to play in the NCAA anymore. We'd all feel that way if it was UNC, Kansas, and Florida loading up with former pro players.

Yeah some how an 18y old at Kansas making $5m is fine but some 25y old making $200k in Italy is an issue
