Will Will Wade even be able to field a team this year? Currently the official LSU basketball page lists only four players. I know Wade has gotten commits from some other guys, but most of those guys have major eligibility issues. Even if a few of them clear, LSU might only have a roster of like seven or eight for the whole season. Mo has done got himself into an absolute mess; I guess he'll at least get all of the playing time he can handle. LSU seems to have genuinely decided only football matters, possibly to the point that they don't even have a basketball team to put on the floor (speaking hyperbolically, kinda).
LSU basketball or lack thereof

I have no idea what they are doing. Mo D didn’t make a very smart decision.
Would be quite hilarious if they could only field a 4 man roster. LMFAO! Perhaps they could implement a 1-2-1 zone.
I'll be their fifth player and I'll do it cheap.
But I only play one end of the court...literally; I'm not running.
I’m at a county bar luncheon with the general counsel at Arkansas State and he said there’s chatter LSU will forfeit their basketball season.
If that were to happen. Wonder what that would do to MO D’s NIL money.
That would be crazy. Ol' strong *** offer Will Wade should start walking around campus to find some tall guys.
I suspect the amount of money in the contracts that would be breached between the conference, ESPN and player’s NIL will force their hand to fill the team with walk ons
I can see the ESPN headline now; “Will Wade beats UK at Rupp playing 4 on 5.”
A new Mitch low.

Just pulling negativity out of your a** today I see.
I got a good laugh out of this. Opposite of negativity imo. We gotta lighten the heartbreak with humor lol
I don’t understand what Wade is trying to do. Like there were plenty of transfers available to field a team. Plenty end up without schools.
Dang, I was chuckling as I typed it out. Then some jerk says I’m being negative. Lighten up fella. We’re just having some offseason fun.
Evan Miya has them ahead of UK in his latest SEC preseason prediction.
Yeah, I’m respectfully calling BS on your source having anything close to reliable info.

I’ll be sure to let him know
I could see it with this nonsense right now, but with the TV contracts and all that they will field a team somehow I’d say
He’s waiting on the court injunction to allow Shaq to compete for his 5th year!
LSU has 13 players on their roster.
what are you all talking about.
Dent Clark Bashir Santos Ruzic
Nunez Ugochukwu Niang Dioubate Dessert
Levy Bender and Hudson (football guy)

Marcio Santos heading back overseas. Glad Pope dodged that bullet.
The original poster isn't wrong...there are only 4 guys who have been cleared. So, while the others may get cleared, it's unlikely all of them will.
Here is the KSR article detailing some of the eligibility concerns.
LSU
Niang played in the same league as our own N'Diaye, similarly Ruzic, Dessert, and Levy are all Int'l. Then Dent and Clark are in the same boat with Mark Mitchell and Aberdeen. I don't see an issue with these guys.
I think Santos just felt pushed out with Dessert, Ruzic, and Levy coming on board after him and Dioubate likely being the starting PF.
I see what you are saying. I just meant as of today, they are not cleared. Additionally, while some (maybe even most) of them may get cleared, all of them may not, and as the KSR article states, the season is a month or so away.
Honestly, with Wade's history of being dirty, I honestly hope half those guys are not cleared so he has to deal with the repercussions of being a scumbag.
