This team will go as far as the PG takes them Still need a legit SEC PG.
To my recollection the only person paid was the girlfriend. All they had on Smart was "strong arse offer" which could mean anything.
Most blueblood basketball programs have financial support systems in place for any new coach. LSU did not. So Wade had to start it himself. Thus no middlemen. Kansas, Duke,UNC and schools like them were cheating just like Wade but they didn't get caught and if they did their AD and Presidents stood behind them ala. That NIL support system is now in place at LSU and he can now go toe to toe with the big boys and they hate that.
It's because they know what he can accomplish once he gets things back rolling again. He was beating the bluebloods out for prospects before NIL was legal. He had a strong team going into the tournament before he got fired and a top recruiting class coming in the following year. And he has beaten out a couple of bluebloods for some of these foreign players that they are so angry about. Personally I think next year is going to be huge for football, basketball and baseball. Then they really going to hate on LSU. Can't wait to watch.
What's obvious is that emotional dweebs like you have never played competitive sports. I don't care what the situation is there is never a reason to yell F**k You atthe opposing team just because you are pumped up. You sound like a 15 year old. Yes I've been in do or die competitive sports situations and that never happened and to say it's OK when you KNOW if the OK pitcher did that you'd be throwing a fit shows just how much of a hypocrite you are. I'm not against a little trash talking but it's more common in basketball and football where you are physically beating on each other. he could have yelled F**k Yeah! to his own dugout and I'd be all for that.
To all of the emotional idiots no this is not what you want your players to do. Yelling f**k you! at the dugout after a strikeout is not passion for the game it is emotional immaturity. And for the hypocrites in here your take would be COMPLETELY different if it was the OK pitcher that had done that. I understand the heat of the moment but that doesn’t excuse the poor sportsmanship by Sheerin. Multitude of things he could have yelled without directing it to the opposing dugout that would have been acceptable.
This is a one year deal anyway. Wade won't have to do this next year and it will probably not be allowed any more after this year. Take advantage of the rules now.
This will be corrected by next year. This is a one time fix for the coming year. he will be back to signing 4-5 stars out of HS and bringing in some portal fillers. Sounding like Marcus Spears Jr is a done deal for next year. That would be huge and can build a team around him. There are others who would come to play with him. patience grasshoppers.
If you look at the historical trend the last 10 years, especially since the NIL and portal, you will see that teams that win the championship almost always have a down year the next season. This is not the early 2000's anymore. There is a cost to winning the championship but a good coach at a great program can turn it around the next year. people need to chill and let JJ do what he needs to do to get us back in contention. He may have whiffed on most of the portal players but looks like he did a great job with the freshmen. He'll get it done.
If he could come back healthy with the way these young guys are hitting the ball now, especially 1-5, he would become even more lethal. Would love to see this team now with a healthy Brown and Stanfield.

Graves is a done deal to LSU if he doesn't go pro. Kentucky doesn't have a shot. Pope also flew to Europe to try and get Santos. So Wade is actually 2-0 against KY already.

If Brown was still available 1-4 hitters on this team right now would be murder. With Braun, Arimbide and Curiel would be the most dangerous 1-4 hitters in the SEC.

From what Wade told boosters they have 9 committed from Euro League which is why they have to wait for all of the paper work to get filed before announcing it. May be the last year they can use these type of players. Will be the Illinois of the South this year. If he can still get Graves then they will be a solid 8-9 man rotation. Will have to adjust to more conventional recruiting/portal for next year but this year he's going all in on European players.
My guy says it is a done deal with LSU if he doesn't go pro. Going to go to combine and workout and see where he lands. If 25th there's always the chance he could slip to 33 and not get guaranteed money and that would be a good reason to play another year especially against SEC competition but nothing going to happen until Combine.
Good piece to the puzzle. Could end up improving offensively like Nwoko did but he is an elite defender and rebounder. That is a need no matter when he plays.
Exactly. Having SEC starting experience and showing improvement as the year went on should have made him a valuable asset. Maybe he's testing the NIL waters to see if he can get a higher pay day. Nothin wrong with that.
You would have to be brain dead to not understand the difference between Mcmahons 1st year NIL budget and Wade's first year NIL budget this year. Yall keep trying to make this about who the better coach is. I'm just commenting on the NIL situation and the sanctions situation compared to Mcmahons 1st year. That's it. That's what the initial post was about and that's what I'm commenting on with facts. Wade definitely has his work cut out for him with 0 players currently but at least he has no sanctions and $12 mil to work with. Would love to know if the players leaving were processed or did they leave on their own. I would have thought he would have kept at least 3 but without knowing what their NIL number was it's hard to judge.
Hey it’s just facts. Don’t be so triggered and emotional.
Except for no threat of sanctions and having $12 million in NIL yes it’s exactly the same.
