3) LSU basketball coach defends 4-player roster
Will Wade is embracing an unconventional approach to roster building in his second stint as LSU’s head b-ball coach.
- Just 4 players are listed on the school’s official website, though Wade says the Tigers are practicing with 15.
- The other 11 newcomers are currently facing a range of legal questions regarding their eligibility, including several ongoing court cases.
- Wade says he’ll follow SEC rules on eligibility—including a ban on former pro players—but maintained that his strategy is the best way to “win championships” at LSU, who finished 14-18 (3-15 SEC) last season.
