LSU could have have had a coach like Schertz and settled for a has-been in Wade instead. I love it


Will Wade a has been??? At 43?? lol

LSU year before Wade 10-21 (2-14 SEC)
LSU is SEC Champion in 2nd season with a 16-2 conference record.

McNeese year before Wade 11-22
McNeese Wade’s first season 30-4
McNeese wins first ever NCAA tournament game under Wade in year 2

NC State year before Wade 12-19 (5-15 ACC)
NC State first year with Wade 20-14 (10-8 ACC)

Doesn’t look like a has-been to me. Dude turns losing programs around fast.

No, Will Wade did not play high school basketball. According to reports, he played golf and was a four-year student manager for his high school basketball team at Franklin Road Academy in Nashville. He went on to become a college student manager
I met his dad in the Beau Rivage on a night when LSU was playing Kentucky. His dad was great guy and gave me the whole story. Never played anything, just drawn to the sport, studied it like it was calculus. He was so into the game that he had me drawn in and cheering when LSU closed it out.

Erik Spoelstra played four years of D1 and was a conference all freshman. He also played one year of pro ball in Europe. Does that make him Michael Jordan? No, but compared to Will Wade, he is Lebron James.

Maybe this is why Dickie V has such a vendetta against Wade; he's not in the club. God knows he doesn't care about cheating


As long as it's one of his paisans like Cal or Pitino he's willing to overlook it.
