I love WW in retrospect he had to go to save football, but on paper THAT wasn’t Wade’s team. We lost 3 top 100 recruits and 3 top returnees the weeks following his departure. And people hollering about his Xs & Os seem to have a hard time understanding what recruiting means in college basketball. Even Cap can’t win without #1 classes. Oats whom I hate has now got Bama as a top 10 b-ball program strictly by recruiting, it sure ain’t coaching 3 lottery picks in three years.

No way was a blaming for the roster we put together this season. My opinion is based of what Wade would have had on paper. That includes guys staying and guys we had signed.

There were no top talents along the lines of Smart, Cam Thomas, Naz Reid, Skyler, Waters, etc.
We were losing Days and Eason our two best players off a 9-9 SEC team.

A review of the players who bolted and the would have been incoming freshmen isn’t overwhelming. The 22-23 Wade team on paper would struggle to win nine SEC games.

People that wanted Wade gone

There was literally zero of these people.

After he was fired there were some who agreed it needed to happen.

And after it happened, there are some that will blame Wade for this.

But literally very very few wanted Wade gone.

He’s lying, him and his crew wanted Wade fired because they said he was a bad coach. People saying nobody wanted him gone are full of shite. You had ppl saying LSU needed to be in the final 4 every handful of years and at least the sweet 16 every other year. If that wasn’t happening he should be fired.
