After 366 days, one insane photo pose as Jimmy V incarnate, and one lousy trip to Dayton, Will Wade is leaving NC State for LSU, per various reports Thursday morning. Wade met with Boo Corrigan on Wednesday to allow the Pack to make one last pitch, but obviously it wasn’t good enough. Maybe it never was gonna be good enough.
Wade will be on a plane to Baton Rouge today.
Wade praised his situation at NC State several times during the season and sounded committed for the long term, but it seems we should have been placing an extremely large asterisk by all of his remarks this whole time. So the man hasn’t changed after all. Oh well. These are the risks you take.
This would be distressing if it didn’t make the last year retroactively so funny. I’ve got no other reaction than to scoff at the absurdity of it.
Welcome back to coaching search season at NC State, everyone.
