The greatest at paying players from his personal checking account.

How does a HC become that stupid? Then lie about it to LSU administrators. Self and Pearl didnt PERSONALLY pay players, so the NCAA lacked any real hard evidence against them

---

none of that is particularly irresponsible as the NCAA is just a sporting rules org and cannot listen to phone calls and subpeona personal checking accounts.

wade just had bad luck being listened to by the feds on an unrelated case.

everyone was doing this and there was no reason for wade to think the feds cared about basketball recruiting. which they shouldn't have.

>That's literally what 5 Star means

i think it means they have first round draft potential, not that they are ready to be day one starters. many 5 stars are 5 star athletic monsters that still require skills to become starters and eventually first round picks.

thats why the rating services give as many 5 stars per season as the sport has draft picks. these are the 32 most likely guys to be first rounders. not necessarily day one college starters.

but even more so the past like 6, before making these blanket statements. The caliber of student that LSU is accepting today, is way better than the caliber student that was accepted in the mid 2000s. We are way stronger of an academic school than we've ever been

I took an 18 year break between my junior and senior year, graduated a few years ago. so I went to school decades ago and also recently.

its correct that the students are higher quality now, at least it was until they went test optional when it ruined everything and the student body went to shite. there are kids on campus now who are morons and do not belong there.

as for the topic, there is no real evidence suggesting that a winning women's team helps anything

well you could ask them to not lose massive money

why aren't the men allowed to lose 6 million or whatever a year? surely that 6 million could buy an amazing team

naz came in to LSU playing pretty well, and then got better. by the the end of his only season he was spectacular. he was a LOAD taking the rock to the rack. i was stunned he was not drafted.

i was a huge optimist about his career but he has been way better than even i expected. he is a sniper from deep. bigs with a shot like his dont come around often.

congrats to big rich naz

brings shame to everyone

23 was better, skenes was already maybe the best pitcher on earth and it was incredible. tommy tanks was a real goofy fun character.

skenes/crews top two overall picks.

plus trey Morgan was the best defender every to put on a glove at LSU. and crews dominated. and they had to come through the losers bracket vs way better teams. wake forest that year was incredible. and Florida was awesome.

this year we had two aces and it was too easy. coastal sucks. West Virginia sucks.
