Has club sports ruined youth sports in every state, or just Utah? I can’t believe what these kids and parents are put through now…. It’s a travesty.

lol Ryan Odom had literally the same amount of time. And for that matter basically every coach has the same issues, new and old. Then throw in it’s a crap shoot every year even if you hit the year before!

@joshwgoodson Wade barely had any time in the portal.

@gordonsjones1 @fleischman_noah I would. I’d rather play knowing what is expected instead of trying to figure out expectations. Now, is handing it the way I would? No. But, I can understand 💯 what he is saying.

@fleischman_noah Suddenly I'm no longer a Wade fan. No coach on any level says something so cold about his team. Who would choose to join a team this man coached?

Caught up with NC State coach Will Wade after the season-ending loss to Texas. He was blunt and honest on roster construction, moving forward. "This will be the worst team we have at NC State right here. ... This is the floor of our program." More here: on3.com/teams/nc-state…

@LO_Wolfpack Does not affect it at all. He’s not a coach to talk flowers and rainbows when there are storms in the area. Team lost to GaT, ND, and an inexcusable loss to UM. Did to themselves. Have no true PG and D1 is no who he thought. Try again next year.

@NotJ0NRoth Your definition of disastrous is much different than mine. When you are a Wolfpacker, disaster is much, much, much worse than this! 😂

William Wade will be playing in the first four against Sean Mille and Texas. I have to admit, I laughed so hard I shit a little. The Wolfpack had a DISASTROUS season, that results in a Dayton appearance. I’m SPRINTING to my FanDuel app to place Texas ML.

Again with the poor plate approaches today. State would be wise to not allow BC to linger all day

@LO_Wolfpack Which is unusual for an Avent team. But, then again, the BC pitcher doesn’t look bad.

@BlackVishnu BC beat Miami 2 of 3. Maybe they aren’t bad. Maybe we aren’t very good. Or, maybe it was a bad game, we win tomorrow and get going.

@LeeFouler @ncsuathleticfan Yep. I’m no D1 fan but Able went to the rim instead of sealing. He knew it too. He was really upset with himself.

@joshwgoodson Yes it is. Very “Gott” like effort. There is something more wrong with this team than scheme, roster construction, or coaching. They just don’t care.

@LupusBeowulf How did he have minimal time for assessment? Odom was hired one day before Wade… he got his roster right with the same amount of time.

What matters now is how Wade responds: 1. Can he rally this team for the postseason? They ain’t gonna win any hardware but a couple post season wins would go a LONG way in terms of building fundraising and recruiting momentum going into next year. 2. Can he learn from his transfer portal mistakes? I’m generally optimistic here. This year was tough. He had minimal time for assessment. We overspent on players like Tre because we were rushed to build a whole roster from scratch with no retention. I think he has a pretty good eye for talent and will construct a good roster, presuming the school and donors continue to resource him properly. 3. Can he learn from his coaching mistakes? Directness is a great leadership quality. But it has to be coupled with love. You cannot make your players feel unwanted. I think he can learn from this season but he needs to tweak his style without overhauling it completely.
Lupus@LupusBeowulf

My assessment 1. Team was flawed from the start. Wade and media overvalued D1. He’s too short and slow to build around. 2. Coach did a good job through Jan getting the most out of them. We were playing like a top 30 team. Not going to win anything but on track for a win or two in the tourney. 3. Combo of close losses (Miami) and press conferences broke this team’s spirit. I appreciate Wade’s frank approach in general. But saying midseason that you “missed on some guys” in the portal does not motivate your team. It makes them feel unwanted. 4. It led to a nose dive they haven’t been able to pull out of. Would love to see that change next week but I doubt it will.

@WolfpackFan317 @RWilliams_IPS Good but not great basketball player. I pull for him. He wears the red and white. He’s just not what he was paid to be. It happens. Get hot and go crazy in ACC tourney and all will be great

At what point does the focus shift to Wade for this slide? Dragged the players when they were playing well relative to now and look where that got the team.

@WolfpackFan317 @RWilliams_IPS Bingo. D1 has been a huge whiff. Period. End of story. I’m sure he’s a great dude. I’m just not sure he is a great basketball player.

@LupusBeowulf D1 has been a major disappointment. Complete whiff. I try to refrain from player comments. But, he seems to be very lazy on the court. Player of the year to the 4th best on starting 5. Complete whiff..period. He’s just not a great player.
