Will Wade, who less than two weeks ago said he is excited at NC State, is reportedly expected to leave Raleigh and be the next head coach LSU.
“Let me be very clear, I’m excited at NC State,” Wade said during a recent press conference. “I was hired at NC State to do a job. This wasn’t gonna take one year. I’ve already met with our administration about next year and some of the changes that we need to make, and some of the things that we need to do to put this program where it deserves long term.”
