SEC fans having fun at Will Wade's expense following release of explosive wiretap report
If you missed the biggest news of the day in the SEC, it appears Will Wade may have been caught paying at least one player in order to land a commitment during his tenure as LSU head coach.
According to Yahoo! Sports, the FBI has wiretap conversations between Wade and former agent Christian Dawkins regarding “offers” made to a prospect. The name “Smart” is referenced in the wiretap just days leading up to Javonte Smart’s commitment to LSU.
Just a coincidence? That’s going to be a tough sell to make for many around the SEC.
Reactions have already begun to flow in across the SEC with many hailing from Vol Twitter — Tennessee just so happens to be tied at the top of the SEC standings with LSU heading into the final game of the regular season.
Here are some of our favorite reactions:

Seems to me that the only reasonable thing to do is make an example out of Will Wade and burn LSU's basketball program to the ground.

.@KentuckyMBB I hate you, but it's time we ban together with the common goal of getting Will Wade fired and LSU's wins vacated. Then go back to hating each other

I always thought Will Wade would be a good fit after Cal retired at UK. Maybe I still do. :)

Will Wade should’ve just used the LSU football bagmen. Smh what was he thinking

Just think LSU fans, if Anthony Grant never left VCU to come to Alabama, Will Wade would have never been put on this trajectory to kill your basketball program. #SecretElephantClub https://t.co/lJyEBOqcoo
