Despite a report by Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel that the NCAA has been investigating the recruiting practices of first-year Tigers' men's basketball coach Will Wade, LSU has confirmed with NCAA officials that there's no active investigation into the program and Wade.
The LSU athletic department's released statement Monday afternoon also said "LSU Athletics stands for full compliance and partnership with the NCAA and the SEC."
Thamel's report claimed an investigation reportedly began not long after LSU hired Wade from VCU and also covered part of his time as VCU's coach. Also, Thamel said he was told by a source the inquiry stalled because of a lack of on-the-record specifics about Wade's recruiting.
