Will Wade Leaves NC State for LSU

0:00On March 27, Will Wade is on the move in college basketball. The North Carolina State Wolfpack head coach has left the program to take over at the LSU Tigers on a seven-year deal. This shift happened Thursday after weeks of building buzz in the industry. Rumors picked up steam earlier this week when LSU brought in Heath Shroyer as their new athletic director for McNeese. Shroyer had hired Wade there years ago before he headed to NC State, making the connection feel like no coincidence. NC State Athletic Director Boo Corrigan called the news a shock. He says Wade seemed fully committed during a Tuesday talk about the team's future, only to resign via email through his agent two days later. Corrigan expressed disappointment for fans, staff, and the school. Now NC State faces its second straight offseason coaching search. Corrigan vows to land someone truly dedicated to the program and its goals. With the hiring cycle heating up, expect more changes across college hoops as team scrambled to build for next season.
