The Football team is on 3 years probation and has a scholarship reduction so what that poster did was a quick google search to prove his point and clicked the first article about the investigation but skimmed and misread it. That’s the Wade haters in a nutshell, no clue, don’t watch basketball and don’t know anything about a topic they’re constantly harping on.

Basketball was hit with 3 years probation and loss of 2 scholarships as well.

The football scholarships already have been applied, while the men's basketball program will lose one of its allotted 13 scholarships for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons

Will never get over this, and the supposed firing was to protect the football team…


Bs this was woody mad it wasn’t his guy so didn’t stick up for him.

Love what Woody has done but frick him i would think there was a way to stop the bleeding and retain him on a short leash.

LSU, which had its men's basketball and football programs lumped together in the case because it went through the Independent Accountability Resolution Process, did not receive a postseason ban or get hit with lack of institutional control. The teams both received three years' probation.

We’re on probation son. I have season tickets to LSU basketball because I support my University and I love hoops. Learn your facts before you come at me. LSU basketball is bigger than Wade. I grew up in the Dale Brown era when we made 12 big dances in a row. McMahon clearly isn’t the answer and neither was Wade.


Let me ask you this. Would you want to play for a coach that left his team and the players he paid??? He abandoned his team. That’s not a coach I want to ever play for. Wade’s a straight bitch and only hung 1 banner in the PMAC. Son it’s LSU first and foremost. Players and coaches come and geaux but LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, and my love of LSU will surpass your stupidity. The bottom line is Wade has us on probation, would have never won jack shite on a consistent basis and told LSU to frick off. I have 0 respect for that pussy

Will Wade is a manchild and obviously not very smart. These posters praising him for doing absolutely nothing meaningful are hilarious, yet typical.

Another really terrible thread and the mcmen all over Wade for a letter which we bended down over and self imposed SES when nothing would have been proven about the strong arse offer comment since it was about an assistant coach not a recruit, and no payments to players from joint or wife account.

Bring back WW amd reBootUp!!!

I love how people act like making the tournament here every season is just no big deal. He was building a consistent program which is all you can really ask for

We did. Woody's Edict, not the NCAA.

Did you see any life in LSU Basketball last night?
Have you seen any signs of life in this team since Wade left?

Woody, not the NCAA, took the life out of LSU Basketball.

You use early outs in the tourney as if everyone makes the tourney. My question, how long till you see us making the tourney? And then tell everyone it’s wades fault it will take so long. With the portal, you can turn it around and get there in a year or 2.

To the OP, you don't know shite about basketball. Will Wade had this program on the verge of great things. Woodward screwed up by firing him. Wade made LSU basketball exciting again. Dale Brown backstabbed LSU by siding with Dickie V and those cronies. Dale Brown is now an embarrassment and it is a travesty his name is on the court.

Apparently very few remember his last few years were brutal playground ball. No defense and selfish offense. His teams lack of defense were the consequences of him being a young coach. That was his excuse.

And here is when I knew you had no clue what you were talking about. Yes, Wade is the only coach paying players (LOL).

Look around, son, in the NIL and portal era, players are getting paid and leaving even when the coach stays.

This isn’t 1975, if coaches and programs don’t adapt, well, you have what we have now, a team that is not competitive.

Also, Wade did not chose to leave. Instead the AD fired him going into the tournament, hanging the players out to dry.

He had both top 20 offensive and def efficiency teams. But yeah, he didn’t know what he was doing…

I'll take Wade's level of mediocrity any day over McMahon
