I’m all for alternative forms of media, but I really wish we could have a moratorium on random X posts on this board for a while, particularly the “BREAKING” forms.


fricking crybabies. It's a topic of discussion. No where does it say breaking. If you don't want to engage with it, don't. No one is here making you reply. Same goes for SFP.

Goodman can eat a bag, but I don't see Graves at LSU. Kid seems to want to go pro now.


I agree. He has been rated around 17-20 so he is probably gone. Just pointing that out about Goodman.
quote:

Goodman says he talked to 10 nba execs about Graves. 8 said stay in draft, 2 said go back to college.


Goodman is probably the worst source for anything LSU/ Will Wade related as of now. It could be true but he blew a gasket about Wade just the other day even though he blew Nate Oates a few months ago over the same thing.

Have you not followed this thread? There are numerous kinds of downvoters:

- Those who randomly downvote
- Those who downvote anything pro-Wade
- Those who downvote anything anti-Wade
- Those who downvote anything that appears to be middle of the road


Some times I forget where I am at. Thank you for reminding me. :lol:

Madar, Ugochukwu, Nunez, and Luis are the guards.


You forgot Bashir
That could be a possibility but supposedly he has signed two contracts. Were both forged? By whom? His agent?
Can we please spell Bediako correctly? It makes it hard to follow. :lol:

Also I'm not sure what they are going to argue because they have made it very clear that just signing the two way contract makes you ineligible. But I hope they can figure it out.

Mouhamed Dioubate, F 6-7, 220 JR Kty.
Marcio Santos, F 6-8, 240 Brazil
Divine Ugochukwu, PG 6-3 JR mich. St.
Abdi Bashir, SG 6-7, 175 JR Kansas State
Brice Dessert, C 7-0, 245 France
Austin Nunez, PG 6-2, 170 SO UTSA
Michael Ruzic, C 7-0, 235 FR Croatia
This is the base team. Wade has two point guards. Ugochukwu is pretty good, Nunez was a top 70 player out of HS. Wade is not done yet.
If we get one of the 3 other players its a big win.


Where is Saliou Niang?
We have been linked to Sergio De Larrea and Matthew Strazel both really good Euro guards. De Larrea is currently in the draft process but he could potentially come to LSU. Strazel would be a contingency plan I believe but he could at least potentially come in and compete.

How many international basketball players will Wade take...


All of them!:lol:

Call me crazy but I wouldn’t be totally shocked if Abdi Bashir is the starting PG game 1


I thought he was more of a set shooter SG type.
quote:

Won't they be affected by the age limit when the 5 for 5 thing passes?

If they won't then I am wrong and it a great strategy but it seems that the 5 for 5 legislation will make older players illegal.


If I recall, it's not retro active. So once it goes in place, it will affect future classes or cycles. That's my understanding.

There were a lot of portal players early on we missed out on. It wasn’t until then, did he fly overseas and try to get players we don’t even know are eligible.


What players did we miss out on that we offered? McNeil?
Have you heard anything about Sergio De Larrea? There seems to be some chatter that we are linked to Sergio.

Ok I'm gonna express a concern that many will likely hate but here it goes:

I like that CWW is thinking outside the box and have no issue with getting Euro Pros to come play at LSU. It would seems to me that getting one or two questionable players eligible wouldn't have been an issue. BUT trying to get an entire team of loophole players eligible seems like its destined to backfire.

Again, I am not saying he is doing anything morally wrong like most of CBB but he has put a huge target on his back (well...a bigger one than he already had) and the NCAA and the powers that be will do everything they can to make sure he doesn't get to trot out a team of "illegal" players.

I also worry that this will affect our ability to get guys eligible in the future. Just seems like an extremely risky plan that isn't likely to work. and If these guys don't get ruled eligible, it'll be egg in CWW and LSU's face. We will get another media cycle talking shite about our university.


My question is, how the frick are they illegal? They are all currently in being reviewed for eligibility. If the NCAA rules them ineligible then they don't play or have to fight for eligibility.

What does that have to do with anything? :lol:

The wailing and gnashing of teeth by the sports media, other coaches, and fans has not even come close to starting. Most do not actually know what LSU is trying to do or has done!


I think RJ Luis woke them up. I have seen some Youtubers at least that are pissed LSU is trying to get him eligible. They were laughing at LSU just a couple weeks ago. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well you’ve been fooled all this time. Because Jay stated multiple times how he didn’t have the NIL backing and amount that many other SEC teams had and spent on their rosters this past season. It had been reported that LSU only spent around 1.6 million on this roster due to lack of NIL funding whereas SEC teams like Mississippi State and others spent well over 3 million.



So no, LSU most definitely does not have anywhere close to the best budget in college baseball. Hell they are middle of the pack at best in the SEC.



If the difference between first and LSU is 1.5 million and LSU is currently spending between 55 to 70 million dollars between football and basketball then someone needs to be fired. Oh wait. That happened. I'm sure Verge will be able to help.
