I think you forgot to include the optimism in your post. Tons of caution though…

Wade has already said the only guys they are paying are guys that will PLAY. This guy is coming to play.
Wade said he is paying 8-9 guys. The 7-9 guys on the roster will only play 10-15 minutes a game. He essentially said he isn'y paying the back of the roster to ride the bench and never play at all, not that he isn't gonna pay role players...

This guy isn't coming from Macabi to US College Basketball to play limited minutes.
He's coming to play significant minutes
I'd argue that he's coming for the money. If he could make more playing in Europe, then he'd stay there. Would you rather play 15 minutes a game and make $600k or go to the US, get more NBA exposure and play 15 minutes while making over $1M?

I expect a little bit better here but no he is not a great rebounder but won’t be horrible like that average says…
Rebounding is one of the most projectable stats regardless of competition. Good HS rebounders translate very often as good college rebounders. Vice versa, guys that don't dominate the boards in HS won't all of a sudden do it in college. I think the same can be said for Euro guys too. If they weren't good rebounders before coming to college, they won't all of a sudden be better at it when they get here.

Could you expand on this? Interested to hear which strategies these are
I'm not sure about what is taught today but I know a one of Alexander's best tactics was hammer and anvil. He'd press one side of the front hard to break through and flank the opposition and squeeze them with his army on both sides.

He inherited a great army, but the conquering was him.
How does this not align with what I said?
Inherited his army=Nepo Baby
The conquering was all him =Took the roster and went on championship run.

Some I guess because they liked Wade individually. But most because they liked Wade's result compared to the historically awful results his successor produced for a miserable 4 years.
Can't it be both?

While this may be true, I'd hardly hand wave away waivers and contracts, especially given how stingy the NCAA has been towards LSU in this regard.
I don't think CWW would do multiple interviews saying we have the majority of the roster signed if he wasn't pretty damn confident that they have guys that will be eligible next season.

He was the greatest Nepo baby in history. His dad did the leg work of building the roster and then he coached/played for that roster to a championship run.

Incorrect. We have signed EXACTLY one single basketball player.

I would rather see Curry at the point. The below is about a week old, so you can take McNeil, Payne, and Patrick off. Ugo didn't even rank as one of the best guards left in the portal at that point.
I thought Paul McNeil sucked and that's why Wade didn't want him. That chart appears to not agree with that sentiment.
People said he sucks? I thought we were just going the more experienced Euro route and his asking price got to high. CWW clearly wanted him.

The worst part is that most probably agree with him but he's being so annoying that people are turning against him. :spank:
At some point you just agree to disagree.
Also JWill, you don't have to respond to him every time he trolls you.

I don’t think there are hardly any teams with 12-13 players that can play meaningful minutes on a given migjt for a competitive team.
I'll one up you and say there are ZERO teams with 12-13 players that can play meaningful minutes on a competitive roster.

So based on your percentages, you don’t think it’s likely we get any of the Europeans? If I’m reading it right, you think getting one Euro is only at 25%.
