He may have been high risk/high reward, but he was the most frustratingly entertaining player to watch all year. Never knew what was going down when he was on the court. A dumb turnover or an incredible steal and dunk. Loved and hated watching this guy!

Sisselpud81•49 months

Really gonna miss all that fancy dribbling resulting in turnovers.

2geaux•49 months

Last one out turn out the lights!

So no one plays for their school anymore! Got it!

lsuohiofan•49 months

This is obviously the plan. Clear the bench so to speak. If we are hit with penalties then no harm. But it does say 1 thing, these players were not dedicated to LSU. They were dedicated to a coach or themselves.

Is it true that the LSU basketball student trainer has also entered the portal? Asking for a friend.

wesman21•49 months

Why didn't they just all leave at once?

DVinBR•49 months

completely different team next year, going to have to make hard pitches in the transfer portal / recruiting during the days of the aftermath of the investigation, otherwise we're starting walk ons

Tigerpride18•49 months

We won’t start a single walk on

SouthernInsanity•49 months

Sure... let's go play for another coach at another school because they don't want to play for this new coach. LOLOLOLOL

KiwiHead•49 months

Because these players are nothing more than tricks and the coaches are but pimps

Jester•49 months

This one hurts. Gaines has been my favorite player for the last 2 years

Tigerpride18•49 months

And they will be gone by today. Should have just packaged them all at once on Monday. Save this daily drip.

How come when wade was hired you didn't have all the players who were here wanting to transfer

CanebreakCajun•49 months

Are you serious? Was Wade coming into level 1 allegations? Get a clue man.

luciouslou•49 months

Good start from scratch.

This is what I been saying all along , a coach leaves you replace the coach. When nine players leave you now have a problem. I'm not against them choosing to leave but they should sit the next season. I know the saying is if a coach leaves the players should have a choice to do same. Bull crap let's say players want to rebel against a coach and threaten to leave or is tampered with and tempted with more nil frick em let them sit a year at next school. This balances out and keeps players honest. I just don't believe a program should be ruined like this. Just the way I think about it.

The AD new what was going to happen. Chose to bring in his guy anyway. This athletic administration fired their coach in way to make sure they didn’t make a tournament run, I wouldn’t stick around either. Administration decided to take this path.

Tigerpride18•49 months

We’re getting Murray state guys , it goes both ways

zed44•49 months

Very comical

GaTiger27•49 months

Hope he stays. Maybe Ja Morant could hit ‘em up

tigerbait143•49 months

Da REAL! Come back to LSU, man.

Water Mocassin•49 months

Good riddance, get rid of all the Wade toxicity.

Cshaw91•49 months

Yeah winning was so toxic. Frick off

TigahJay•49 months

Should've won a lot more with how much he cheats, couldn't develop any of his recruits.

tigerfan0082•49 months

Agreed, Wade should have won than Trent, Johnny, and Brady. He also should have gone to the NCAAT more than them. It’s a shame he couldn’t win more than those guys. They knew how to win!
