He's a 4 star combo guard and they have Naz Reid headlining next year's class. Will Wade was a great hire for them.

No doubt he's a very good combo guard, but for Will Wade I think the jury is out. He let's them play so the kids like that because they will score a lot of points, doesn't yanks them on bad plays which there were many of . Problem is they play little to no defense, awful defense from what I saw. I have to watch a team on defense to give the coach his due, Wade has a ways to go from what I saw.

Waters is a point guard, the kid they have coming in is a 4 star combo guard. LSU has little talent now, they can't exactly keep up with Waters and aren't ready for many to his passes. Looks like they won't be without talent for long though.

Waters is a fantastic basketball talent but he does not have a team first mentality. I don’t know why anyone on this forum would want that kind of attitude on our team regardless of talent level. The game is much bigger than one player.

Does not have a team first mentality? Kid had 4 assist with 39 points, he’s a star player. The assists will get better as the season goes on. I definitely would take a kid like him any day. Waters is exactly what we need. Shabazz averaged 4 to 5 assists in his career here at UConn. Our team is averaging 70 something points a game against cupcakes, but you wouldn’t want waters... smh.

I don't doubt that although a few of his no looks were also flipped away or oob's. Kid has tremendous vision but for now cuts the mustard a little too much. They are scoring lots of points so that is not their issue anyway, they need to defend and they have plenty of talent to defend if you make them. He's probably a good coach but they need to get stops more.

And that right there is the problem.

Our program shouldn't be so diminished that a recruit outside the Top 20 thinks that they're too big for us.

Too late. It's already happened.

I for one am looking forward to new iterations of this thread popping up constantly over the next four years - perhaps even later than that.

And that doesn't piss you off? You seem so eager to accept it.

What good does being pissed do? Does "acceptance" have any bearing on the state of the program?

Yes this was an outstanding hire. Did very well at VCU. Can recruit with the big boys. LSU will be a top 25 programs once he settles in.
