You’re right he’s got no plan and I bet we finish last in the league.

Oh wait that was the last guy.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative.

But it ain’t like the cultists were crowing—that every player in the country would be breaking down the doors to play for Wade.
I never heard this narrative. I actually think Wade is really good at getting players that fit what he wants and maximizing talent. Just look at where the players from the 2021-22 team transferred to when he was fired. None of those players went on to contribute at the P5 level for other schools. Yet, Wade had that team in the Top 10 before Pinson's injury.
Even Tari Eason was a limited role player at Cincy the year before. I think Wade is very good at getting the right guys for his system in a way that gets the most out of them.

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
You can’t blame Wade for the decision of the people that fired him to not give MM enough money to compete in the portal.

Not really. There was clear sarcasm in the post. The McMen cried for 4 years about inheriting an “empty” roster. My point is that is normal in the portal era with a coaching change.

Wade also kind of left it in shambles when he was fired the first time. That's how it works.
Not really. In the portal era, every coaching change has this type of turnover. Inheriting an empty roster is the norm.
Don’t blame WW for the NIL budget LSU gave MM, that decision was made by the same people that fired WW.
McMahon Left the Basketball Program in Shambles

Wade is inheriting a program with literally zero players and coming off a historically bad four-year stretch. According to the McMen, he gets at least two years to rebuild and his record doesn't count.
Am I doing this right?
In all seriousness, McMahon inherited 3 returning players.

As I mentioned in another thread, some of these players already have eligibility left (including Lubin).
No doubt he seems to be gambling some, but then he's also trying to get the guys that may already have some eligibility that are testing the waters (including Graves who is not a senior).

Several players there have eligibility remaining, including one particular player that Wade coached last year that was one of the few bright spots on that roster...

Narrative is being set by agents and not reality. Some schools are overpaying at this point. Will be interesting to see what happens once the entry window for the portal closes.

Pretty sure Will encouraged him to stay at McNeese one more year.

He is close to the group that brought Scott in and thought he could do no wrong. Just sour grapes his guy was an epic failure, and with Wade coming back it will only further highlight how big of a failure Scott really was at LSU.

Will commented several times about he and Jones formed a good relationship after Wade took the job in 2017.
In fact, Will scheduled TSU this last year at NCST.
