LSU's Will Wade 'going for it,' despite player eligibility concerns

LSU coach Will Wade said Wednesday that he is sticking with an unconventional offseason roster-building strategy despite eligibility concerns involving several players, including former St. John’s star RJ Luis, who received a temporary injunction to play for LSU this season. Wade said the approach is intended to give LSU its best chance to build a championship team immediately and accepted responsibility if it fails.

Former UCLA players Skyy Clark and Donovan Dent were cleared by a California court to join LSU in a fifth-year eligibility case, although the NCAA plans to challenge those decisions. International players Saliou Niang and Brice Dessert could be ineligible under new SEC rules, while LSU’s website listed only four players Wednesday afternoon; Wade cited LSU’s 60-70 record over the past four years under Matt McMahon as context for pursuing the riskier approach.
