To me, unless there's a paper trail it isn't shite but I guess that isn't true.
I fully agree with that. As far as I'm concerned, unless money changed hands, "the offer" could have been anything.
Has anything actually come out providing any evidence of what specifically he meant?
If the answer is no, this is nothing. If yes, a potential problem but not likely as too many others will be inplicated for anything too severe.
Duke is playing a kid whose handler was on wiretaps talking specifics. Arizona did the same.
If Wade never elaborated and no evidence says otherwise then it's all bullshite.

LSU released it's statement saying that discussing it is a violation. That's not my opinion.

Discussion a illegal offer is a violation, saying the word “offer” violation isn’t and that is the situation we have now at LSU... everybody is assuming shyt

Much better description than what I said. Thank you.

That’s my point. And even if he did discuss making an offer, if no offer was actually given, this situation has been blown waaaay out of proportion.
LSU has just handled this whole thing so poorly.

THANK YOU
In the Yahoo reports the word offer was used in quotes
The “bigger than rookie min & someone wanting more of the pie” was reported that he said it, he was not directly quoted
Therefore anything other than the word offer is hearsay & scholarships get offered all the time

Maybe wade was just talking crap and it was pure puffery and trying to make himself look important

I spoke to someone who has known Smart's family for years. She told me that the mom does not know of any offer and what was said is false. She also said that Boosie takes good care of his family so doesn't know why they would need anything. I also work with his cousin that said its false and she doesn't like what the school is doing to their family. She didn't want him to go to LSU but he wanted to stay home and rep his state she said.

Frankly, the press has had to walk back so many gotcha” stories recently, I don’t believe anything until I have full quotes and context.

Could not agree more. These so-called administrators are idiots.

Wade said he made a strong offer. He said he knows the offer wasn't explained correctly to the mother. He said it was weighted too heavily towards the mother and the kid. He said the other person didn't get a big enough piece of the pie.
This would lead a person to infer that the offer was made to a middle man of some type and the middle man didn't like the offer and thus may have never presented it to the mother and kid.

This is why I think Wade is ok for now. If there isn't anything else that's any worse than what has been reported so far, I'm still hopeful he can come back and that they want him back. IMO he would have already been fired if they didn't want this thing to work.

But how severe a violation? If an offer was discussed but no offer was made, how bad of a violation is it?
Only problem with that is Coach discusses making the offer in the taped conversation, so trying to parse no offer made is ridiculous and making the offer is the "potential" violation.
Posted on 3/15/19 at 10:43 pm to Boudreaux in SF
We don’t know that. We don’t have the full transcripts of the call or know the context. Even if he did blatantly say he made and offer, if he never actually made an offer to a player or players agent then no offer was made.
Both are bad. One is much worse than the other.

Could be a scholarship offer. Maybe he was full of shite.
The fact that he asked to be reinstated was something of a proclamation of innocence. I doubt he'd have done that given the career ramifications if he turned out to be lying.

This is an interesting angle that I have thought of or seen anyone else mention. It could definitely hurt his career if he was allowed to coach because he asked and then it came out later that he really did commit recruiting violations.

If it were quoted it would be a different story
For LSU to act as they did is insane

WRONG
it was REPORTED he said those things, people infer & report incorrectly to push a bias
The only thing that was QUOTED was “offer”
