At 34 years old, Will Wade is now the youngest head coach in the SEC. Mike White (40) and Bryce Drew (42) are the next two youngest head coaches in the Southeastern Conference.
Despite limited basketball success in Baton Rouge, Wade sees LSU as a sleeping giant in college basketball.
Wade has only been a head coach for four seasons, and he has coached his teams to winning records in each of those four seasons. But for a guy with such a small sample size as a head coach, you have to first see where he was as an assistant to get a feel for who he’ll be as a head coach.
