For Will Wade, it feels good to be reunited with LSU. Wade is returning to Baton Rouge as LSU’s men’s basketball coach four years after being fired for recruiting violations. With that, LSU has fired Matt McMahon after leading the Tigers to an overall record of 60-and-70, including just 17 wins in the SEC, and no NCAA Tournament appearances.
The speculation of a Will Wade reunion heated up when Heath Schroyer left his post as McNeese athletic director for a job at LSU as Senior Deputy AD. Schroyer hired Wade at McNeese a year after Wade was fired from LSU. Jim Gazzolo covers McNeese athletics for the American Press and says what Schroyer did at McNeese is remarkable.

The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee reported the resolution without action, which technically kills the measure for the session.
