In his first season, Will Wade had LSU playing very competitive, going 8-10 in conference, which was T9th. He had to piece together a roster, which he did with transfers and a solid recruiting class, #17 class in the nation for 2017. It didn't take him much time at all to get players and put together a roster, interesting.
Wade followed up the 2017 recruiting class, by landing the #4 recruiting class for 2018. Expectations should be fairly high in Baton Rouge, as Wade returns nearly everyone, and brings in a ton of talent for the second straight year, he will also have the big man from Oregon who sat out all last season.
LSU is a solid job, located in the heart of some athletic players year in year out. They have solid history, but have really been on the back burner the past couple of decades thanks to football. My concern with Wade is that he is pulling players from other parts of the country, not just Louisiana. Of course, LSU will have to overcome the great and well researched "GOM" conundrum to ever cut down the nets in April.
