Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

[LaCajunsFan]

"Just look at Wade’s own words as reported by Yahoo!, which were captured by the FBI during a conversation with Dawkins in the summer of 2017:

“Dude, I went to him with a (expletive) strong-___ offer about a month ago. (Expletive) strong,” Wade said, seemingly venting to Dawkins about a third party who was involved in the recruitment of current LSU freshman Javonte Smart.

The problem was, I know why he didn’t take it now, it was (expletive) tilted toward the family a little bit. It was tilted toward taking care of the mom, taking care of the kid. Like it was tilted towards that. Now I know for a fact he didn’t explain everything to the mom. I know now, he didn’t get enough of the piece of the pie in the deal.”

Bury the program, don't allow them to play in the tournament.

Yeah, and that's just we know, so far.

Plus, where do you think he was getting the $$$ to pay these kids? His own pocket?

This will not end well for little Willy or the possums in refineryville.

NCAA doesn’t move fast enough and i don’t think he will testify until after the tourney

My thoughts as well. No way he paid out his own pocket, maybe a prtion. Obviously this is not an isolated incident concerning only Smart that was allegedly offered more than rookie minimum, which is 800k I believe. If other players are involved, then you're talking about a pile money. Did the money come from backers or directly/indirectly from the athletic department's insane budget? More likely from backers under the table, but if funds came directly from lsu athletics money they should be crucified in the world of college basketball or NCAA period

Wades lawyer did not want him to meet with Aleva. A smart move on his lawyers part. Best thing to do is to say nothing to nobody. That way they can't catch you in a lie or a process crime. I still think you can stick a fork in him .... He's done.

When I saw that they had suspended him, I was wondering why they did since this is just starting to unfold and not all of the evidence is in. I thought that they had jumped the gun on this because Alleva has a rep for screwing things up. Now, he made a big story, mainly local, into a major national story with this move. I also read the thread of why the decision was made to suspend him. Someone stated that it keeps anyone with the BOS from being subpoenaed about the conversation. I'm kind of on the fence about this. Yes, it protects the BOS and WW. But if you have done nothing wrong, why not have the meeting? Him not showing up can put the perception out there of that there's more coming out about WW that will not be good for him or LSU.

He won’t go to jail, LSU slap on the wrist, he Keeps his mouth shut and will also get a slap on the wrist and will have a job in the nba.

If he lies in fed court, which this class A dumb fk will do, he'll end up spending time as the BB coach for cell block A team...

Looking at all of the discussion about this, I don't recall anyone mentioning how this affects his wife and kid. I feel for them. They're going to be collateral damage with the allegations. You don't think his wife has been approached by someone asking questions? Even if nothing comes of this, there will always be a cloud.

More than anything, it is am embarrassment to LSU......and oh so fun to watch. The 'head in the sand' fan base seems to be more angry with Alleva for suspending WW and not covering up any wrong doing. I have also seen a ridiculous amount of the "They just hate LSU".....bla bla bla. victimization crap.
