The pearl-clutching over paying players during the NIL era will always been funny

The reason so many are pissed at Wade isn’t that he’s paying players. I mean every coach (including the hallowed Coach K) does it. It’s that Wade was stupid/brazen enough to get caught on tape talking about it.

People keep misinterpreting what Will Wade said, and I'm fricking sick of it. He's a good honest man. Everyone wants to say he's been cheating and paying players, and that's just bullshite. Y'all apparently can't figure out something so damn simple. He didn't make him a strong arse... offer. He made him a strong... arse offer. How many coaches would go so far to make sure a student athlete's basic needs are met? Only Will Wade.

Really cute comment. Pointless but cute.

Didn't you hear? They're cleaner than a proven coach with a show cause over his head. All the players and their parents couldn't wait to go play for an unproven coach at a dumpy arena pre-NIL. Not obvious at all

I doubt we extend that streak this week. This Bama team seems determined to fail as of late.

the reason Wade hates Oats is because Alabama has won 4 straight against LSU, starting from back in 2019 when Alabama finished with a losing record and beat a ranked LSU squad, then won 3 straight including beating LSU to win the SEC tournament.
Bingo. End thread.

Which players did WW pay and how much were they paid?

There really can’t be any argument about this. It’s really comical when you listen to the recording of Wade talking about the “strong arse offer.” He’s bitching that apparently it wasn’t enough to close the deal. So obviously, someone else made at least as good or a “stronger arse offer.” Considering it was pretty much always LSU and Kentucky in the running for Smart, who do you suppose made the other offer to Smart. It’s not hard to figure.

Saban has been better, hasn't been caught yet. I hope that prick Priutt burns down Bama and Tenn.

Feel like both guys have the same personality and neither of them like the other for it
Posted on 1/17/22 at 12:31 pm to CBandits82
Honestly don't think there is one. Just two guys who are pretty brash and confident in themselves and their programs trying to build something at traditional football powers and really want to beat the other. I'd guess a few of those early recruiting battles, especially Watford, got intense (Oats badly wanted to get Watford to get some momentum after he was hired).
So far both have done a pretty good job.

I forgot about us getting Watford. I like the passion of Oats, this is set up to be a nice basketball rivalry in the future if we can actually beat Alabama in basketball as well...

And? You still trying to act like this is the exception and not the rule in college basketball?

The current crop of coaches in the league is great for the sport. They have all the things that you need to make the SEC fun in basketball - they can coach, they are great recruiters and they are brash/entertaining guys.
Pearl, Oats, Wade, Muss and Cal all fit that bill and will all be around for a while, I think (hope). Buzz is a really good coach too but definitely is a bit different style wise from those guys. Barnes won't be around much longer.

Roy Williams, Bill Self, Bruce Pearl, Sean Miller, Penny Hardaway, Coach Cal ring any bells? Wade can’t hold a candle to those cheaters. C’Mon man….
Wade’s not even the dirtiest coach in the SEC West. Story floating around was Oats got pissed at Wade because he told Watford he learned more about basketball in 8th grade AAU than he would playing in Tuscaloosa. It got back to Nate and his ‘itty bitty feewings’ were bruised.
