By far my favorite pickup so far, kid is really good. As good as Waters was, he wasn’t as unselfish and smart as this kid. He is the exact player you want next to Luis if he gets the green light

This is the last time I am going to address you "stay on topic" drooling morons. The easiest way to get back on topic and move on. Is to do it. Move on. There are at least twice as many interrupting posts because of idiots saying to stay on topic.

Seems as if everyone did move on....until you posted this.

Ole Thread Sheriff.

The only way to not make it useless is to quit bitching about it being useless and start posting recruiting information. Thanks! :geauxtigers:

Have an upvote.

Wow. I'm trying to be nice. It's okay. 55 SEC wins, 17 SEC wins. I get you. You still never even discussed the Pyramid and Gilbert. Do you just live in hypocrisy?

Dude what are you talking about? I was simply saying we deserve great not just good. Had zero to do with Matt McMahon or even Will Wade. You taking the gloves off now?

Fake news, that was just one of the 4 violations. The others were

- impermissible in person contact with recruits

- illegal payments for “transportation” to recruits

- illegal phone calls outside of contact windows

All by Jay Wright (this went on for 3 years btw) 2001, 2002, 2003

The NCAA concluded that Jay Wright acted ethically and with the correct intentions. They explicitly chose not to cite him for a "lack of institutional control" or "ethical conduct violations," which are the severe rulings reserved for coaches who intentionally cheat, lie, or look the other way.

Sorry for posting my feelings

Won’t happen again

Self-proclaimed idiot, apologist, and Yorke sunshine pumper. Please go back to whiffing on baseball.

bullshite.

You threw out Cal, that got 3 programs on probation, and won a NC at 53 - to shade Will Wade.

Zero credibility.

No wonder you folks live on here. Marcus Camby and Derrick Rose say hello.

A big arse nothing-burger.

What a horrible way to go through life with this logic.

"You can't win without cheating".

"It was ok for Will Wade to do something illegal, because everyone does it."

Yeah, a calling card code(that belonged to a non-coach) for long distance phone calls across 5 sports at Villanova that totaled roughly $5,800. That's definitely equivalent to a coach illegally paying players.

What a piece of work you are to try to align the two.

What do you think about Teddy Bridgewater?

You do realize none of that really matters because you CAN LEGALLY pay players now

Yes, I do. Which is why I hope Will Wade is the guy to get us a national championship, I just have my doubts for a few reasons.

Will Wade’s offense prioritizes a few things:

Heavy Isolation

Team Assist % By year

2018–19 LSU 214th of 353

2020-21 LSU 246th of 343

2021-22 LSU 213th of 358

2023-24 McNeese St 69th of 364

2024-25 McNeese St 210th of 362

2025-26 NC State 142nd of 362


The National Champion of each year listed hasn’t finished higher than 35th nationally.[b]

Penetrate and Dish Philosophy

Will Wade’s offenses rely on penetrate and kick, 1-2 passes per possession. This presents a problem. When you run a large portion of your offense around PNR, you should have a very balanced offensive spread, between assists. What that means is your offensive assist percentage between 2’s and 3’s should be somewhat balanced based on how the defense reacts. A healthy number of your points should come from drop offs, alley oops, etc. His teams don’t. There is an unhealthy balance, in my opinion. This means that the ball handler most of the time is either attacking the rim, or kicking for a 3, and not playing the roll man.

The 2 should be prioritized over the 3.

Here is a breakdown for visual people like myself:

2018–19 Season

Assisted 2-point FGs: 38.4% (~285th nationally)

Assisted 3-point FGs: 81.4% (~160th nationally)

This is where the “streetball” comes from. There’s a drastic difference in philosophy from Will Wade and championship coaches.

There are honestly a few more things like this I can point out and provide information to, we know Will Wade’s team have rarely been good defensively, but I am running short of time and maybe we can move on to talking about recruiting. Seems like there’s going to be some news here soon.

I remain hopeful being that I’ve been an LSU fan since I can remember Herb Tyler at QB, and meeting Randy Livingston at a basketball camp while he was playing, but I feel these things are overlooked by most fans and his priorities are drastically flipped compared to championship winning coaches. I do want Will Wade to succeed, but I have my doubts.

I have been wrong before, and I hope I am proven wrong this time.

Are you still claiming that Mark Few, Tony Bennett, and Jay Wright ran programs that provided zero illegal benefits to the players and their families that they signed? You did describe ther programs as being run CLEANLY. You also told me there were others winning big and doing the same. Can you release any more names? All before and while big bad Wade was PISSING all over the NCAA rulebook in BR, right?

---

They did, do you have any information to prove otherwise? You only have hearsay and your own assumptive opinion. As stated before, the shoe companies, boosters, etc work these deals under the table with parents, uncles, cousins etc. In many cases, the coaches don’t know. The kids make a visit, go to church locally on Sunday, and lo and behold there’s backpack under the pew with $100,000 cash in it. True story, bet you can’t guess who the coach was….

Anyways..

So back to my point, you can’t prove any of those coaches knew about any of it, but Will Wade actually admitted it, so you’re not really living in reality you’re living in your own fantasy world that bases your entire argument on something you can’t physically prove. Definitely not realistic.
