Wade wouldn't even give Mackinnon a second look after first seeing him play.

I swear some of you fall in love with these honkies after the first shot they make.

Duke did the same with Chris Duhon's momma back in the late 90s. They made her VP of a Durham bank if I remember correctly.

Hold on a dadgummed minute!!!!

Rick Pitino looked PRICK Vitale squarely in his glass eye and exclaimed: "I swear I didn't know about the hookers PRICKY. That sounds like something Will Wade would do!!!!"

Watch yaself TU.

Moscona and Ruffino are 2 "baseball bros" that have this RIDICULOUS FANTASY that baseball needs to stay second in line among the fan base, and funded that way at LSU.

They loved McMahon because they hate or at least don't care at all about men's basketball, and he had LSU firmly planted in the gutter, and they certainly didn't want Wade to dig us out from it. I believe it's as simple as that.

I'm so happy that we've got real men in charge now that are properly aligning the 2 major sports with the funding (particularly NIL) that they deserve.

We're about to experience unprecedented (at LSU), sustained success in the 2 majors that will bring us notoriety we've never had before, and I can't wait.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, or are just stupid. It's pretty well known Pope flew over to shoot his shot with Diang, and Kansas tried to get Santo eligible last year. The other schools have also been mentioned with the players we signed.

I wonder if Wade is buddies with a Louisiana governor that might be able to call in a favor or 4 and get these moflos eligible. Hmmm?

I knew your meaning. I just think it's common sense that along with all the moves made to attract Wade, they also lined up NIL MEGABUCKS to close the deal on his hiring.

The actual amount is unknown.

Well, sweet 16 is only half way to the title, so no shite.

Yep, I have a VERY STRANGE OBSESSION with winning in college basketball and not getting the shite kicked out of us on a regular basis.

You're right, that IS really weird. Most people (like you) just sit there and take the arse whippings.

I have nothing to base this on other than using common sense, but I think the payroll IS $30-40 million, at least for year 1.

Wade pretty much said he had a blank check at the introductory press conference, and I bet the boosters had to commit that amount to get him to leave Raleigh.

Just speculation on my part.
