I watch this video and it makes me proud to be a Rutgers College alum with a coach and kids like we have on the basketball team

How does this work? Hasn’t he already paid tuition for 2nd semester? Would the money get refunded?

So happy with the kid

Pike totally get it...we are beyond fortunate to have him.

I wonder if the other players knew this was coming. Their reaction to the announcement was tremendous. Showed a lot of love for the young man

Nice kept secret by coach then

Silly observation.
But if Downes walked into your local YMCA where you think the weekend pickup games are played at a pretty high level.

He’d be the second coming of Bob Cousy out there, and the guys you thought were pretty good would be in awe of him.

And he can’t sniff a minute here, that’s how good you have to be to play at this level

 

[BillyC80]

I thought Downes looked pretty good when he got into a game earlier in the season.

Love it. Would love to see the video of him calling his parents and telling them.

Was thinking along the same lines when I watched this...I'm sure it was a special and proud moment where we can use our imaginations how that conversation went.
