LSU Tigers head basketball coach Will Wade reportedly discussed an undisclosed "offer" to a recruit during a 2017 phone conversation with business manager Christian Dawkins, who received a six-month prison sentence Tuesday for his role in college basketball's pay-to-play scandal.

On Thursday, Pat Forde, Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports reported Wade was caught on a wiretap talking with Dawkins about a "strong-ass offer" made to a player believed to be Tigers freshman guard Javonte Smart, then a 4-star prospect.

"I was thinking last night on this Smart thing," Wade said.
