Will Wade is only doing what is the norm in big time college basketball.

You liked and supported Rick Pitino as well. Yes, college basketball recruiting appears to be a slimy industry but some guys go above and beyond the 'norm' and Wade appears to be one of them. Had Wade been the coach of a team that missed the NCAA last season, LSU would have no doubt cut him loose 'with cause'. But instead...here we are.

Pumpkinhead as of May 24th 2019 Rick Pitino hasn't been tied to any cheating. Zero. Not on a wire tap. Christian Dawkins even said Pitino was one coach who had no idea what was going on. Maybe Dawkins is lying. But it seems Dawkins was happy to slap other coaches around.

You, Rick Pitino, and a few blood relatives of Pitino may be the only one who believes that.

The film also plays in its entirety a previously reported call between Dawkins and Wade where Wade alludes to a "strong-ass offer" he made to a player that is presumed to be Javonte Smart, then a top recruit from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

A transcript of that call was originally reported by Yahoo Sports in March of 2019.

"I think the only way you can interpret someone in a head coaching position saying that they made a strong-ass offer, they ain't talking about a scholarship offer, bro," Dawkins says in the film. "One-hundred percent talking about money."

Dawkins offered plenty of respect to Wade for keeping his job despite the details of the call coming out.
"Will Wade is definitely a gangster for what he did," Dawkins said.
