2019 - Wing - Lester Quinones (Target)

The wording of LSU’s statement is pretty clear. They either had to reinstate him or fire him.

If LSU fired him today, they’d have to buy out his contract. If they wait until after an investigation, they can very likely fire him for cause and will owe him nothing. I’ll be surprised if he coaches another game there.

Yep. Pure legal posturing.

We’ll see if Wade and Sean Miller will be subpoenaed to testify in the federal corruption trial. Ruling on whether or not they can be is due on Friday.

Does Wade need a chaperone to make sure he behaves? :laughing:

Is there any precedent for JB landing a recruit who is so actively being pursued by some not so clean programs?

Is there a ton of evidence that Memphis is dirty? It seems like their big recruiting coup so far is a result of signing a massive recruit who is from Memphis.

No.

All the dudes he got so far are from Memphis or played AAU under him.

Not technically yet, but when you’re getting guys based on AAU connections and the school recently went 16 straight years with two coaches who are explicitly dirty, it’s tough to believe they aren’t.

Didn’t he coach almost all of these guys though?

Chatman, too.

Pretty sure Tubby Smith coached at Memphis prior to Penny, did I miss where he was dirty?

I was referring to the 16 year tenure of Cal and Pastner

Quinones and Pierce would be a fantastic pair of spring pick-ups.

Both would add shooting and decent size on the wings. Yes please.

Wasn’t there talk that him and Maryland were over.

I guess it can be a good sign for us (no current offer, but will receive one on visit).

We are the best established basketball option and best academically. Playing time is available.

I really don’t understand why any kid would take Will Wade seriously at this point.
