re: Will Wade will not be effective at LSU like before and this is why

LSU spent middle of the pack NIL money on the basketball team, 8 million. Top tier programs were spending 10 to 20 million. Did we get middle of the pack results? No dead last. You can say coaching, injuries, whatever but it is a result driven business, and he is not getting the results. So henceforth it's time for a change, it's really that simple. Now whether that be WW or someone else we just have to trust administration to make the right hire. But what we are doing currently is not working and what is the definition of insanity, yeah. As fans we make our voice heard by where we spend our money and clearly the majority have spoken and clearly want to move in a different direction.

I didnt say anything about talent. I said he will fade into line with NIL because lsu simply wont pay for basketball.

If thats the case why does Jay get shite for nil?

According to the reports that are out there, LSU paid about the same in NIL for basketball this year that NC State paid.

Bet Wade could’ve made that 10 million go a lot further than McMahon did. LSU was going to have to pay 10 million a year in NIL just to keep up with the lower tier of the SEC. The question is who can do the most with that money. Second, who can raise more than that on their own. Wade has resource resources in Louisiana. He wasn’t making the strong arse offers completely out of his own pocket when he was here at the first time.

Again, it is implied throughout your entire post that he only wins with superior talent, and he can only get that if he is the only one paying players. You are wrong.

ETA. It is not just about how much money you have, it is how you build your roster with the resources you have. McMahon had no rhyme or reason to the way he built his roster. Got a lot of confidence that Wade will do a much better job of building a roster with the same or slightly better resources.

Downvote away but facts.

All you’ve given us are your own stupid opinions.

Great point. His attention to detail is impressive. He literally charted how may extra steps his players had to walk before the weight room wasn’t in the same place as the practice facility.

He made Tari Eason a lottery pick when he was only playing 12 minutes a game at Cincinnati the year before. He saw how he could utilize his ability in his system and make him a superstar.

No, it’s not cool to spam the board with absurd opinions and claim they are “facts.”

I was there. That was a fun night and even better season.

not spamming. You making that up.

Facts: he cheated to get players to lsu pre nil, post nil it wont work because lsu will not give enough money for ww to get players if he were here. Absolute 100% facts. See Jay Johnson and nil. Again facts. Until you prove otherwise, stfu and stay in your lane

Everybody was "cheating" back then, don't be a child. The difference was that Wade had to fund his recruiting out of his own pocket, while the other big schools basically had NIL infrastructure before there was NIL ...yet he still could put his teams in the tournament.

Imagine what he could do with real money?

Now. If we aren't willing to get serious about funding men's college basketball, there's really no point in bothering. That goes for Wade as well as any other coach.

thank God that exonerated him and lsu kept Wade. I guess that was lsu's fault too. I dk t doubt he could do well with real money but he wont get it


I hated pm but at least he never cheated and kept a clean team.

There will be no more "strong arse offers" with NIL at everyone's disposal across the NCAA unless LSU has serious millions to give towards MBB. JAY(2 titles in 4 yrs, thats insane) cant even get the money. What makes you think WW with no titles, will?

he won't get it. Jay cant even get the money. Luckily Jay has a storied program to work with. What makes you think men's basketball can sell itself? I cant . If Jay can get the money, Wade surely wont.

I can agree i just believe wade will feel the wrath of nil and lsu wont commit the money. Ask Jay.

I can understand that the fans want a different direction and someone should listen but jay got 2 ncaa titles in 4 yrs and he got the shaft on nil money. No way ww will get what he wants to come here.

Are you arguing that Will Wade won't be successful because every school has NIL, or are you bitching about the amount of NIL money Jay got?

Guess what? Perhaps basketball is more important to LSU and its alumni than baseball. Perhaps LSU and its alumni will give more money to basketball than baseball. Perhaps the financial upside of basketball is significantly higher than the financial upside of baseball.

Your diatribe seems to ignore this possibility.

Perhaps more money will flow to Wade BB than flowed to McMahon BB. More money is flowing to Kiffin FB than flowed to Kelly FB.
