re: Will Wade's Contract Includes a 5 Game Suspension and Recruiting Restrictions

As usual you’re totally ignorant to the situation.

I’d put him over Barbee but can see an argument for Barnes based on career. Wade seemed to own him.

Cal -title
Beard and Pearl have final fours over him
Oats- good comp considering both won in year 2. Oats has the extra sec title thanks to fupa scott and did have head to head.

Muss- I’m not 100 percent on. I think Muss is good but he did lose to McLoser so gotta deduct points. Plus his elite 8s sweet 16s hyper inflated by an easy road.

Still point being wade is either 5,6,7 depending on what we want to measure while poor MM is hanging at the bottom.

You have no idea what you’re talking about which is common. Sorry your wish is not gonna happen.

LMAO Again, there is a reason this dude was hired at McNeese and not OM, Georgetown, Texas or St. John's.

Exactly. McNeese can take this chance because they’re McNeese. No AD at a real school would want that kind of headache or being hamstrung like that. The ONE thing Woody(and more importantly Tate and the BOS) wants most in a coach after winning, is someone he doesn’t have to babysit, someone he doesn’t have to worry about embarrassing the university. And he wouldn’t have with Wade if he hadn’t been caught on the wiretap. But he was.

It sucks—I wish we could have kept Wade—but with the way the media was constantly (granted completely hypocritically and unfairly) attacking Wade and keeping him and LSU in the negative spotlight, it was the prudent move that any responsible AD would have made. If he had made some Final Fours, it might have been different. And I believe he would have eventually. But at the time, the juice (tourney success) wasn’t worth the squeeze (never-ending negative PR).

Again, I loved Wade. Wish he were still here. But some of you act like he is the only human being on earth capable of leading LSU to success. There are plenty of others capable of duplicating what he did. The legit criticism of Woodward (and I think it’s still premature and made with the benefit of hindsight) is that he may have simply whiffed on who he replaced him with. But McMahon will get another year to prove him right or wrong. If we win 2 SEC games again next year, we’ll hire somebody else. Only we’ll be in a much more favorable position to hire a better candidate.

I mean I get it. I think we should all agree Scott fricked up the firing/hiring.

If he wanted the antiwade he got it with MM guy can’t recruit, guy can’t show emotion and he can’t win.

The fact Scotty gave him so much is insane. MM is so vanilla and boring it’s like Scott didn’t want any drama out of basketball.

I’d love MM to prove me wrong but he doesn’t have the chops to compete in the sec. His record this year was worse than could be imagined, his recruiting is actually worse than his record. He has to do a 180 to fix this.

Just FYI, this suspension and restrictions are coming from McNeese, not the NCAA.

Yes, I don’t read any quote from the NCAA saying: “Because of McNeese’s self-imposed sanctions, Will Wade is in the clear.”

Now granted, it’s a good move from the McNeese AD to attempt some preemption, but the NCAA hammer is still coming.

But I’m sure McNeese has the institution protected in Wade’s contract where he’s cut loose and the contract voided when the hammer does fall.

And yes, this is a thread about McNeese’s head basketball coach. More Sports Board.

They wouldn’t have done it on a maybe. They alluded to this at the press conference.

Which is pathetic considering how bama, auburn and ole miss wouldn’t let the media control the hire

All this shite and the dude will still sign better players at McNeese than McMahon at LSU

Wade will put together a great recruiting class and won’t be surprised if they contend for the conference championship in year one.

He basically set the expectations and fully expect him to accomplish them. Kind of ballsy but he’s a confident man who believes in his abilities. Mcneese got a good one.
