Well I don't live there but I am a Wade fan. Got my school off havoc and back to real basketball for which I was thankful. Of course the new guy wants to go back to gimmicky. Curious to see Kiir in action. He was to be a big plus.

It would be awesome to have great football, baseball and basketball all at the same time. I haven't really been super hyped about hoops since the days of Shaq, Stanley, Jackson and cast except maybe in 2006 with Big Baby, Tyrus Thomas and a Final Four.

Same here. I miss Dale Brown

Are you a VCU fan?

Now we're talkin! See, it's easy to get fired up !

Very long term one. Almost back to the start.

And a brand new bayou Bengal tiger too boot I see. Mike, love that.

Thanks for the coach

We've had some bright spots mixed in with the wasteland Dale left. Very excited at Will Wade Waking the sleeping tiger that is LSU basketball.

I hear ya, just saying we're jaded in the hoops department and have been a skeptical bunch with a slew of disappointments in football, basketball, and baseball. Glad to have you aboard. What Wade has done this offseason is pretty unprecedented in these parts; he's blowing the doors off early. Not even Nick Saban came in with this intensity.
