re: Will Wade to LSU could be a reality (Update: officially hired)

He is really young for the spot and I would worry about his lack of recruiting ties to the area.

I don't want a coach with ties from LA. He has most recently recruited the biggest talent pool areas in basketball on the east coast. That's the ties I want a coach to have.

Recruiting to LSU football with the insane facilities and instate talent is ENTIRELY different than recruiting to LSU basketball with average facilities and average instate talent.

Louisiana has never had a talent problem with any major sport. We've had problems keeping the talent at home. We've also been unfortunate to have recent coaches who either didn't recruit or couldn't coach. Louisiana may not be as deep as the north east, but talent has never been a problem.

Just have to keep the few really goods on campus longer than 1 year to have a complete team and with a good bench.
