After LSU coach Will Wade's indefinite suspension from the school on March 8, FBI agents were in Baton Rouge investigating his recruiting tactics, multiple sources told Yahoo Sports. That included a Louisiana-based FBI agent active in Baton Rouge the following week, conducting in-person work regarding Wade.
The FBI made clear its interest was speaking specifically about Wade, according to a source. The FBI's interest in Wade's recruiting tactics could potentially signal an expansion in the federal basketball corruption case. An FBI agent who was in Baton Rouge declined comment when reached by Yahoo Sports. The agent referred questions to New Orleans field office public affairs specialist Craig Betbeze, who did not return multiple requests for comment. Nicholas Biase, spokesman for the Southern District of New York, declined comment.

Sports Illustrated cited sources in reporting this week that LSU and Wade were working toward a meeting. The SI report cited Wade's hiring of another attorney, Thompson, as a key factor in bringing the two sides closer together.

So let me get this straight. The FBI has will wade on tape for over a year, but only after LSU suspended him did the fbi decide to open an investigation? Yahoo is full of “reporters” that are terrible at their job.

You poor naive fool.
It's funny that you think this since I've been stating that I don't think he's going to be back since the beginning of this thing. I've said it on this board repeatedly.

People don't realize the FBI wants Wade nowhere near the trial this month.

Dawkins was arrested in 2017. The FBI had their tapes for nearly 2 years.
What do you think they are doing now?

And? We have known about this for over a year

So, they’ve been investigating will wade for over a year, have him on wiretaps from around that time ago, and they just started looking into him after he got suspended because of a Yahoo report, that was based on aforementioned year old FBI investigation. Right.
