Will Wade Shown Mirror on Troubling Past as Analyst Shoots Down LSU’s Recruitment Strategy

Will Wade is going through a challenging phase and a lot of it is his own doing. The new LSU head coach has never been one to take a back seat to controversy, and he seems to have riled up a few people with his recruitment strategy upon his LSU return.

For context, Wade has been using an unusual but potentially highly effective strategy for recruitment, bringing in former NBA players with even an ounce of eligibility left to come to LSU and aid his Championship challenge.

The strategy seems to hinge on the fact that the NCAA might be compelled to allow the players to play despite the past rulings on such situations, forcing many to call out Wade for exploiting the system’s loopholes that have only been expanded under NIL rules.

One such individual is Matt Norlander, who showed Wade the mirror in a recent episode of his podcast with CBS’ Gary Parrish, highlighting how officials might bring up Wade’s troubled past to support their argument that he’s bending the rules a bit too much.
