Is LSU hiring Will Wade back for men's basketball job? What we know

[ASFN Admin]

Is NC State men's basketball coach Will Wade about to get his old job back at LSU?

According to college basketball reporter Jon Rothstein, LSU is working to hire McNeese State's Heath Schroyer in an administrative role. This move likely foreshadows the university hiring Wade back to the job he previously held from 2017-2022.

LSU fired Wade for cause in 2022 after allegations of Level 1 NCAA violations surfaced. That controversy resulted in punishments for both LSU and Wade.

After his dismissal, Wade worked his way back up the coaching ranks at McNeese State and NC State, making his likely LSU return possible. We'll see if Wade seals the deal to get his LSU job back.

LSU would have to fire current Tigers coach Matt McMahon first before any Wade move could be official.

The Tigers' head coaching job is not open, but LSU President Wade Rousse & Schroyer both previously hired NC State's Will Wade at McNeese & are on the verge of bringing him back to Baton Rouge.
