Laurent Leaving according to
- Thread starter RU fanatic
- Start date
So basically not officially then. Officially means it comes from Laurent or the school.
not saying it wont happen. just think the "officially" part is funny.

Was more surprised with the Nigel Johnson move but man I wish we could just get a group of guys who wanted to be here. I love Mike Williams I hope he stays through all this and Corey has to come back !
I thought since the end of January that this might happen. I would not be surprised if we lose one more player. Either way it gives Coach Pikiell a chance to recruit his type of player. I have full faith in Pikiell. It might take a while to add a few more recruits so we might have to be patient. We have 4 months until August but I think Coach will bring in guys that he wants.
There's a two page thread about this on the premium board that was started last night.
Just another reason why all those threads about predicting the number of wins next year were always very premature.
The final roster may not be set for several months.....last year, Gettys came in late August.

I was hoping players other than Johnson and Laurent would transfer.There are players on the squad that were far less productive.
no surprise with Laurent leaving...he did not contribute much this year anyhow
Yes.
Recruiting during this time of the year is equally as important to recruiting the rest of the year.
With 700+ transfers, some of them available to play immediately, and spring signees you have to be ready and in Laurents case I know RU was.
@Russ Wood,
With your last sentence, do you mean RU knows who they're going to get? Or just that they expected the transfer?
With all the transfers happening at all levels of college basketball Rutgers should be able to find a center and a shooter for the small forward position.My concern,however, is the loss of 20 points with the departure of Gettys and Johnson.The replacements must have offensive skills because Rutgers had a difficult time scoring 60 points with Gettys and Johnson.There is very little margin for error with next seasons current squad.
Would like to know our scoring avg in B1G games. Would expect it to be lower than 65.
That average included out of conference games where Rutgers was able to run up the score against very easy competition.
Aside from rumbles in here i have no idea where the rumors stem from. From everything I and many have seen there is no truth to this rumor.
Good luck to Jonathan. He worked hard for two years and seemed to be a great teammate, even when he wasn't playing well. I hope he finds a place that fits him well and he succeeds.
