5 star Yohan Traore commits to L$U
Didn't see this posted, but this was tweeted a couple of days ago. Fuck Will Wade

Hopefully, for his sake, Traore will make better professional decisions than Ben Simmons.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:19 PM ^
Good for him.
February 1st, 2022 at 4:18 PM ^
I'm with you, good for the kid. He's getting paid.
I'm just wondering how good WWade feels now to be able to ask a couple of boosters to step up and purchase some $75K autographs from the kid, knowing that it's "legal". Right out in the open, no more hiding behind plausible deniability....wait, he didn't care then did he?
February 1st, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
unfortunately, he's been trending away for a while now.
Kid is an impressive player though.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
Came for the Brian Kelly dancing and now leaving disappointed.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
I heard the video was too risque and involved a barrel of grape jelly, a gallon of French's yellow mustard and kitty kat ears.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
Was it a strong offer?
February 1st, 2022 at 1:35 PM ^
A strong ass offer!
February 1st, 2022 at 3:20 PM ^
What's an ass offer?
February 1st, 2022 at 3:31 PM ^
An offer that can be overtaken.
February 1st, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
An offer I can't refuse.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:34 PM ^
We gotta stop putting dollar signs in other teams logos. Paying people is legal now. We are the dumb ones if we are not doing it. For his sake I hope he chose a team that is going to fairly compensate his work and the value he adds to the AD.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:46 PM ^
Just came here to post the same thing. With NIL, all Universities can have dollar signs in their logos.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:01 PM ^
Mi$higan. Nope doesn't work for us.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:14 PM ^
Could use the cent symbol (Mi¢higan) instead, and it might work as a metaphor for our commitment to the paying players gig relative to L$U, O$U, etc.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
This is actually something I can get behind
February 1st, 2022 at 2:28 PM ^
Man, we can't offer them cents on the dollar! No wonder we aren't consistently getting the 5 stars!
February 1st, 2022 at 2:26 PM ^
Putting dollar signs in the names of other schools was always stupid. Now it's even more stupid.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
I've hated it forever. Hated O$U. I hate with every fiber of my being Seth putting ($EC) next to recruits we lose. If everyone does something and isn't being punished. You're the dumb one to not do the same.
February 1st, 2022 at 3:09 PM ^
The Michigan Difference

Fuck the NCAA for allowing Will Wade to have a job. The NCAA is the most incompetent and corrupt organization after the IOC.
February 1st, 2022 at 1:46 PM ^
FIFA would like a word.

To save those of you that don't know the Will Wade background (like me) and spare you the googles, here is a bit of his Wiki write up:
On March 7, 2019 it was reported that Wade discussed an 'offer' to a recruit, which was overheard on a Federal Bureau of Investigation wiretap.[4] The offer he made was reportedly a large one. In the transcripts he is quoted as saying that he was frustrated with the situation: “I’ll be honest with you, I’m [expletive] tired of dealing with the thing. Like I’m just [expletive] sick of dealing with the [expletive]. Like, this should not be that [expletive] complicated.”[4] The following day, LSU announced that he was indefinitely suspended amid the FBI's probe.[5][6] Tony Benford was named interim head coach at LSU during Wade's suspension.[7] On April 14, 2019, LSU lifted Wade's suspension.[8]
It was also reported on April 24, 2019, that Wade agreed to significant modifications to his contract, in order to be reinstated. Some of those changes include: 1) to forfeit $250,000.00 in bonuses he would have otherwise earned during the time of his suspension, 2) the contract also now allows LSU to fire Wade for cause if he commits a Level I or Level II NCAA violation, and 3) He can also be terminated if the NCAA infractions committee issues a formal notice to LSU that Wade was involved in a Level 1 or Level 2 violation.[9]
On August 25, 2020, reports surfaced that the investigation into the numerous, alleged, recruiting violations by Wade is ongoing, and headed to an independent panel. Two separate NCAA committees have referred LSU's case to the IARP (Independent Accountability Resolution Process, a system formed in response to a Condoleezza Rice-led commission on college basketball.) Should this panel issue a formal 'notice of allegations' to LSU as a result of this investigation, that would put an end to the 3 year, highly controversial, tenure of Wade, based on the renegotiated contract of 2019.[10]
What's not to love about this guy?
February 1st, 2022 at 2:04 PM ^
At least Brian Kelly didn't post a video dancing with him.
Fla$hdance... Oh what a feeling.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:34 PM ^
Honestly at this point, I want us to be Mi$higan... so its not a knock anymore
February 1st, 2022 at 3:36 PM ^
Come on boo$ter$, buy some autograph$! It worked for Texa$ A&M.
February 1st, 2022 at 3:54 PM ^
How about: Michigan Wolverine$
February 1st, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
Oh, so money is last. We're always last. Thanks Warde.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:40 PM ^
Yohan Traore sounds like a name out of GOT.
February 1st, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
He's decided to go fight for the Lannisters. Cersei is Brian Kelly?
February 1st, 2022 at 3:09 PM ^
Going to one hell of a faaaaaaaammmeeiiillly. Good on him for getting paid.
February 1st, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
I've read all the responses on here and can't tell if half the people don't realize he is a basketball recruit, or just want to go out of their way to say something bad about Brian Kelly.
February 1st, 2022 at 4:41 PM ^
SEC has been doing in basketball the last few years what they’ve been doing in football and that’s use every resource(cheat) to become the best conference. Look at the recruiting rankings the last few years and see how many teams are up there, landing 4 and 5 stars like it’s nothing.
February 1st, 2022 at 11:38 PM ^
I heavily judge recruits who choose LSU. Especially since Ben specifically chose LSU because they promised not to make him "uncomfortable" aka don't bother showing up to anything you don't want to- class workouts or otherwise. And the money of course. If I'm an NBA team LSU players take a hit in evaluations.
