Smart had a horrible year at Texas this year I will grant you. That is part of why I have some worries about Wade. Bringing in someone from outside the area means they have to spend a few years building up relations within the recruiting area.

In the South you just don't stroll in, put your thang down, and expect recruits to flock to you. You have to put in work and develop ties.

He did a phenomenal turnaround at UTC before going to VCU.

But have no clue where he recruited while there

Wade is a Southern guy. He's from Nashville, went to Clemson, was a GA at Clemson then coached at VCU, UTC and back to VCU. However, most of his ties are definitely the Eastern part of the Region.

Either way, stuff these days in college basketball is so national with camps, teams, shoe leagues......I don't think it matters nearly as much.

I can assure you no LSU fan would be expecting anything within the first year considering the potential state of the roster this offseason.
