I could not care less about any of this. If teams find a way to get these guys eligible, good on them. Other schools and coaches could have done the same thing and have tried to do the same thing. It's not as if Will Wade is overseas watching these guys by himself. There are other college coaches sitting right there next to him on the sideline. Other coaches got caught in the FBI shite too but you don't hear anything about them. This is people getting angry that little ole backwoods LSU is up there going after players with the big dogs. They don't like that shite one bit.

Other coaches aren't signing a full team of 23+ year old professional international players. Yes Illinois had a team of international players, but they weren't in their mid 20's. They signed two 18 year olds. A 19 year old and the Ivisic twin brothers are 22, but have been in college the past 3 years. This is completely different than what Wade is doing. Also signing RJ Luis is a fricking joke. He already signed NBA two-way contracts with the Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics so hopefully the NCAA does the right thing and denies him. Wade is a scummy POS. In no world should college basketball have 26 year olds playing against teenagers.

Then it is surely against the rules.

You're a Texas fan. Texas will try to ruin the SEC like they ruined the Big 12.
Go away. You don't belong.

Then, that is their loss.
What was IU's avg player age in CFB this year?
If the rules allow it, get over it or change the rules.
Adapt or die... or, just grumble and hate from the corner because that works.

If I heard correctly this morning, they didn't have a single starter on offense under 21 years old. From Google...
quote:
The average age of the Indiana Hoosiers football team roster is approximately 22.5 to 23 years old.This veteran-heavy roster—heavily comprised of fourth, fifth, and sixth-year seniors and transfers—has drawn widespread attention for being significantly older than the traditional college demographic, with some analysts comparing the squad's average age to that of NFL teams like the Green Bay Packers.
Eta: This is also the same team that this board annointed as the best team ever and there seemed to be zero problem with it.

Texas will leave the SEC if Louisianan's leave Texas, deal?

Of course not. That would be preposterous. Not as preposterous as your argument that all basketball is the same, but preposterous nontheless.

Every coach that ever coached used NCAA rules to their advantage. If he goes beyond what the NCAA allows and every player ends up having to file a suit to play, then Wade is going about it wrong.

Yeah I didn't care about this when Ole Miss did it with Chambliss either.

Under the new 5 for 5 rule it largely will be.
The clock will start when a player either graduates high school or turns 19, what ever is earlier. Then they will have 5 consecutive years to play college sports.
If a guy graduates at 18 he will run out of eligibility at 23, whether he played all 5 years in college or all 5 years in the euro league. If the 5 for 5 rule were in effect today, 5 of LSU’s recruits would not be eligible.

They can't stand to see LSU and Will Wade even coming close to having success. If it was Kansas or Duke or UNC, etc they would be getting praised for thinking outside the box to get the program winning again.

For a reminder of how this exchange has gone:
SidewalkTiger:
quote:
I don't really follow basketball, did Wade leave the sport at some point?
captdalton:
quote:
Yes, he was forced to leave power 4 coaching while he served his 2 year show clause penalty. As soon as it expired he left McNeese and took the NC State job.
SidewalkTiger:
quote:
The original comment mentioned college basketball as a whole though.
College basketball isn't P4 only.
captdalton:
quote:
Look at sidewalker trying to equate all levels of basketball as the exact same. That will be part of the LSU playbook with Wade. Who cares that he got a show cause, he was still in basketball. And who cares that this recruit has foregone his college eligibility to enter the draft, basketball is basketball. Who cares that this recruit has signed contracts with two different NBA teams, he didn’t play much, and basketball is basketball. And who cares that this recruit has played 6 years of professional basketball, it was in a different country, basketball is basketball.
I can already see that sidewalker is going to subject everyone here to this until Wade is fired or the NCAA kicks him out of basketball again.

So not only did you completely flip flop on the answer to the original, you also created a strawman argument and then melted about your own strawman argument.
You actually are retarded aren't you?
