N/P: LSU makes Great hire in Will Wade!

[Champ]

Finally LSU gets it right!

Wade, 34, led the Rams to the NCAA Tournament in both years as the VCU coach. VCU went 25-11 in 2015-16 and made the Round of 32 as the No. 10 seed. The Rams were once again a No. 10 seed in this year's tournament but lost to Saint Mary's in the first round. VCU finished 26-9.

Wade had also been linked to the opening at N.C. State before the Wolfpack ultimately went with UNC-Wilmington head coach Kevin Keatts. Wade has spent four seasons as a head coach after taking over Chattanooga in 2013-14 when he went 18-15 in his first season and then 22-10 after that before he took the job at VCU.

Now will Tom Benson get it right?

Not an LSU fan, but smart move. This is the kind of hire that can take LSU to another level.

Full disclosure, I am not an LSU fan, but I do know Wade.

I like it.

Give him a little time, but there is little doubt about him being very highly thought of...

I didn't know him personally, but we went to college together (I'm c/o 2007, he's 2005). I was hopeful our shared alma mater would bring him home. Too bad for us. Great for LSU.
