Would we be happy with Will Wade?

Hell yes

I know the VCU tree has not been a fruitful one Re: Shaka Smart and the guy who went to Bama, but Wade has had some success at two stops now. I have a few guys I'd like to make say no first but I would not be upset with him if we truly make a legit effort and REALLY make those guys say no first.

IN

frick yes

Fuuuuuxxxkkkk yessssss

Dream job?

Maybe he can see the potential here... It'd be nice to get a basketball coach to do for us what saban did for football.

I know..downvotes bc I credited saban with helping our program realize its potential

It would be funny if everybody's dream AD Dan Radakovich let a Clemson alum get away because he wouldn't pull the trigger on his crappy basketball coach.

He was Shaka Smart's first assistant hire at VCU. Not sure of his recruiting.

Wade has a reputation as a strong recruiter, and in two years at VCU has signed a couple of consensus four-star prospects. Not McDonald’s All-Americans, but definitely top-100 kids. His current 2017 class ranks 32nd nationally and first in the A-10, and it includes big man Mayan Kiir, whom you may remember NC State also wanted. This is probably the area I’d worry least about when it comes to Wade’s profile.
