Will Wade Reveals NIL Mistake He Made At NC State That He Will Correct At LSU

LSU head coach Will Wade recently spoke with College Basketball Insider Jon Rothstein about the roster he plans to build for next season.

Wade said he made the mistake of paying too many players last season at NC State and plans to focus on the seven to eight players who will get the majority of playing time in games at LSU.

"One thing that we did last year that I made a mistake on was that we basically paid eleven guys," Wade said.

"We went out and got eleven guys and had a lot of depth, and depth is really important for practice, it's not as important for games when you are only playing seven or eight guys, nine max."

"So we had some dead money on the roster. One thing I'm focusing on here is that we're only going to pay for seven or eight games at LSU this year."

"We'll fill out the back half of the roster with some guys that can help us in a pinch, but we want to put our resources into those main guys."
