When you’re young, talented and good-looking, the world is your oyster. Everything is in front of you. The sky’s the limit. All that jazz. Will Wade is, by all intents and purposes in the coaching profession, a young talented guy. Big things seem ahead for him, too, following McNeese State’s 69-67 win over Clemson in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. It was, as far as seeding goes, a big upset, given the Cowboys’ standing as a 12-seed and Clemson’s as a 5-.
Except, as the phrase goes, youth is wasted on the young, and by the time we realize what has passed us by, it’s too late to turn around and change it.
