Or maybe these kids want to come play for a new Young basketball coach that can really coach the game of basketball. All you have to do is talk to the man for 30 seconds to understand his knowledge and IQ for basketball is Off the charts

Remember that Yahoo Sports article about Nick Saban and LSU recruiting?

Yeah me either.


Why is it so difficult for the NCAA to believe Will Wade's recruiting class? It's really not that difficult to understand.

First of all Will Wade is an articulate, enthusiastic and positive guys with a magnetic personality.

Will Wade' first target was Ja'Vonte Smart. The guy plays right up the road. Why is it so difficult for the NCAA guys to believe that LSU landed Smart. Smart not only gets to play for a new and up coming coach but he gets to continue his basketball career close to home in front of his family and friends. Under normal circumstances that's probably the easiest sell to a recruit.

WW's second target was Naze Reid out of New Jersey. Now this might seem a little suspicious until you dig a little deeper. Not only will Reid be a premiere player on next year's team but Reid's girlfriend currently attends LSU. Does the NCAA really not understand the power of pussy?

Now WW's third signee Darius Days is probably just based on old fashion hard work. Darius likely signed with Tigers for 2 reasons: he sees himself playing for WW and joining Reid and Smart to make a awesome trio on the court with A LOT of playing time. Sometimes it's just that simple.

WW's last recruit Emmitt Williams ran into some legal troubles from which the charges have been dropped. It's my understanding that during those troubling times Will Wade never wavered from Emmitt. So I could see Emmitt committing to the Tigers for two main reasons; Coach Wade stuck by him when the going was tough and he saw the talent WW was bringing in and wanted to be part of that team.

See NCAA, it is possible for a new up and coming coach to recruit lights out for legitimate reasons.

He would definitely have a case if it was proven that this was simply a hit piece paid for by big a booster or boosters of the other big programs.
