Will Wade has been impressive

Would read again

Most impressive new hire I can remember in any sport as far as first impressions go. He's just straight killling it on the recruiting trail and doing everything else right so far too.

I mentioned him on the local radio show and they all laughed. These gumps don't know shite and I hope WW brings the frickin pain.

I suspect they'll lose some games that they should win but I wouldn't count them out for making the tourney.

I don't think saying they probably won't make the tournament equates to counting them out. Wade has done some great things to make this into a decent roster based on what he had coming back and on his recruiting efforts since taking the job. I still think it's pretty crazy to just assume they'll make the tourney. There are still a lot of holes in the roster and the SEC has gotten tougher. I have the utmost faith Wade will get us there in short order but I don't think it's by any means a given we'll make the tourney in year one. I think reasonable expectations for this team is to hover around .500 in the SEC and make the NIT. I think we can all agre we'll see a vastly better product than what we saw last year.

With the added teams the bubble is much softer, its a lot lot easier to make it than most people realize for a large P5 school. At the end of the day the NCAA is truly a business, and if we are neck and neck with directional group of five, or smaller conference school, we will get in because of the TV ratings. Just how it is in life.

the guards really really need to set the world on fire to make the postseason, cause our big men are no good.

that being said, our guards have some talent, it just needs to be tapped into. We will see Wade's worth very early on

The main goal this year is actually making a tournament. It's pathetic that two years in a row that LSU hasn't made it to the postseason in basketball. Wade so far has me very excited about the team, but right now LSU has a huge rebuilding process and I don't expect them to be world beaters. I love that we have somebody that's young and has a ton of energy.

Maybe yes
Maybe not

Hope you aren't easily disappointed.

The transfers he's brought in are all solid players and if we have guys like Reath and Sampson improve we can def make a run at it. When you have a couple of talented guys surrounded by ppl who simply do their jobs it can turn a team around very fast. The SEC isn't full of great teams standing in our way and all we need to do is finish in the top 4/5 to make the dance, we have an excellent coach and a team that's gone from very young to senior laden over the summer. I'm not saying it's set in stone but everything is trending upwards.
