SIAP- Cliff O will OV to RU

[czxqa]

Per Zags, after his AZ visit, date tbd. Getting the last OV is huge.

 

[jordkap]

Big news there

 

[czxqa]

Nowhere else has he been serenaded by a sold out arena! Combined with our improvement this season, I like our chances. Way better than they were last summer.

Plus engineering program

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Just do it.

 

[Knights 1212]

If Cliff ever chose RU that would be so huge and sweet.

 

[Westcoast]

It would be interesting and a great story to have our centers both be in the engineering program.

 

[jerzeyguy]

I remember Fred Hill landing Corey Chandler and it set things in motion. The next year Rosario commits and then Echinque and dane miller. I think Cliff could have that same effect.

 

[RU848789]

Plus engineering program

Is he pursuing engineering? Maybe we should talk, lol. All kidding aside (since I'm technically a "booster" even though I do lots of mentoring and student events as a volunteer), I do know someone in the RU Eng'g School Dean's office who is heavily involved in academic support (and has been involved in some tutoring for Myles - doing eng'g and playing hoops is a very tough row to hoe) and she's great - we were in grad school together at RU.

 

[Russ Wood]

Just do it.

This is quite an ironic post when you think about it.

Arizona State........we need good weather in NJ before and after his visit.

I am not sure why any 18 year old would want to go to school anywhere but Arizona state.

I mean as an athlete he is stuck there in the summer, at which point Tempe is essentially the surface of the sun.

 

[RUfinal4]

Starting 5 next year
5 - Myles Johnson
4 - Cliff O
3- Ron Harper Jr
2- Geo Baker
1- Montez Mathis

adrenaline team after 1st stoppage
- Mcconnell
- Jacob Young
- Doucoure
- Mulcahy

 

[Knights 1212]

Cliff I doubt would play PF. He would play center behind Myles as both would block shots, and be well rested and both at times commit fouls. Cliff's game would jump by leaps and bounds if he was coached by our staff. I think he could play power forward as he developed an outside shot or maybe a few minutes we could play twin towers together but not on a regular basis.

Totally agree. Cliff would be taking Carter's role next year.

Point well taken.
But are there any good looking girls at ASU? opcorn:

.......and probably expanding it

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I would totally expect Myles to be his host AND Myles left California to come to NJ

we are in good hands.

Are we just ignoring Reiber, Palmquist, and Mag?

If Omoruyi comes, we're going to have a lot of depth next year:

1 - Mulcahy (So)
1/2 - Baker (Sr), Young (RS Sr), McConnell (Jr)
2 - Mathis (Jr)
3/4 - Harper (Jr), Palmquist (RS Fr), Mag (Fr)
4/5 - Reiber (Fr)
5 - Johnson (RS Jr), Omoruyi (Fr), Doucoure (RS Jr)

Edit: Forgot to include Mathis, and had Reiber/Palmquist reversed.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

.......is someone transferring (2) out?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

If Cliff comes here and Palmquist/Reiber aren't ready or capcble of playing the 4 I could see Cliff getting minutes WITH Myles.....talking like 5-6 minutes.

 

[RUChoppin]

.......is someone transferring (2) out?

Fixed.

You don't think you can go to the shore and find 6 girls to match them or 6 cheerleaders at RU that are better than these. Plus, he from NJ and knows what the weather is. But, at Rutgers he will be in the media center of the world, while at ASU he will be in what paper?

Which is the great thing about Palmquist enrolling early - he'll hopefully be more up to speed when we hit the floor next season. He'd technically be a RS Fr at that point, I think.

And you forgot Mathis. Also Palmquist is not a 4/5. More a 3. Reiber is more a 4/5.

Duh, I'm an idiot.

Sorry, had him backwards with Reiber. Clearly I haven't had enough coffee this morning.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Based on reports (grain of salt).....I have the highest probabilities of Mag making the rotation over the other 2 just based on him playing D.

Now I don't know how that fits with Young and Mathis and what they can and can not bring to the table.

Hot girls are great. But the idea of living in Arizona gives me hives. Kids aren't as one dimensional as people think. At least not all of them. NYC is still the capital of the world for a reason. And for every kid that wants something like ASU, there is another that dreams of living in Greenwich Village and going to NYU. And another that wants the shore. And on and on etc. RU has a great slate of offerings.

 

[RU82]

Most likely RHJ will be our starting 4 next season with or without Cliff on the roster. He and Yeboah are essentially the same size. Ron needs to shoot 18 million 3’s this off season though.

 

[JQRU91]

He's originally from Nigeria. He's probably used to that kind of weather.

I was sort of joking. The beautiful weather in this case may actually benefit us. If Cliff is choosing a school partially or completely based on academics I'd think he'd realize that the nice weather could potentially distract him from what he is really going to school for.

I am probably being naive here.

They have pools at their dorms and apartments...

Well he is from Africa, but is in NJ for HS basketball.. Not really a true NJ guy

 

[RU84]

Wonder if the Hurly brothers are using negative recruiting against each other?

 

[LeapinLou]

Best of luck to Cliff with his decision. Would love to have him at RU.

So he chose NJ once already... why not again?
