This is Wade’s second stint with the Tigers as he previously spent four seasons coaching in Baton Rouge from 2017-2022, culminating a 105-51 record in his time with the Tigers.

Wade is widely respected as an elite recruiter, previously recruiting a multitude of future NBA talent during his first tenure at LSU coaching former players such as Cameron Thomas and Naz Reid. The Tigers are hopeful that Wade’s return could bring this level of talent back to Baton Rouge.
