Yeah, b/c duke, uk, ku, unc, etc....aren't paying players.

Not saying he’s guilty, but when multiple 4 and 5-star recruits suddenly start committing to LSU, it raises some red flags.

Yep similar to OM football.

ie Ole Miss. People can down vote all they want, but it definitely causes reason for suspicion.

not necessarily...

This was shaping up to be his best hire. I hope there's nothing to this, but if there is, a silver lining could be Aleva's departure for ruining the basketball program.

No silver lining in any of our athletes being downed by the NCAA. Much rather O and Wade have great careers here and save Allevas job if that’s what it takes to get where we want to go.

Can only hope Wade is running a clean program. Would rather not win at all than cheat to win, especially paying/bribing players to don the purple and gold. It's a privilege to wear those colors and represent LSU.

You don't really believe a "clean program" exist in any Power 5 sport do you?

CDawson - especially in basketball! LOL

Wade seems to be the kind of coach you want to have at the collegiate level. Glad he’s here at LSU. If we can clear Kavanaugh in a week, I think the NCAA should be able to review and make a swift decision.

Those two things have zero to do with each other.
