Every player LSU men's basketball added since Will Wade hire
Here's a look at every player LSU basketball coach Will Wade has added since taking over the program in Baton Rouge.
LSU men's basketball started a rebuild after the hiring of head coach Will Wade. He was left with nobody on the roster at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season but is slowly adding players. Wade begins his second stint at the helm of the Tigers' program during the upcoming season.
He came back to Baton Rouge after one year at NC State and two years at McNeese State. His career also included head coaching g roles at VCU and Chattanooga. During Wade's first go-around at LSU, he renewed interest in the program.
His five-year tenure from 2017-22 included an SEC regular-season championship and three NCAA Tournament appearances. Between international prospects and Power Five transfers, Wade is looking for key pieces to lead the charge in his first season back donning the purple and gold. He's been open publicly about hitting the international market hard.
