One and done for Rutgers
- Thread starter RUSONIC
- Start date
He might better than Cockburn. Just saying. I'll take of bunch of Cliff's. Especially if they are bigs.

One and dones aren't the saviors some on here think they are. I'd rather win playing team ball than being a developmental team for a one and done.

agreed.. a couple years ago.. yeah... because it help juice recruiting and put fans in the seats.. get buzz.. but we got recruits, buzz, fans now.
Next up new big-money sponsors... because we will be on national TV quite a bit.. if there is a season, that is. I wouldn't be surprised if some networks approach Rutgers to play some big OOC games early... for TV.
What are you talking about??? Maybe that's not "your" program but most fans and the entire coaching staff want great players. I'd take a mid -season one and done if it made RU great and lead them to a run in the NCAA's!
If he can help us win games the answer is a resounding yes. Looking at who we have returning we can use an inside workhorse who can get those tough buckets in the paint. Cockburn would actually be a great fit for our team if there is someone like him out there. He could play the 4 or 5 for us and give us loads of flexibility to match up but even better to create mismatches.
One and dones also aren't the program-destroyers some on here think.
Illinois had a pretty decent season just this year with a "one and done".
Cockburn did not come to Illinois as a "one and done". He was a four star, like Omoruyi. I'm talking about 5 star McDonald's types who the coach knows ahead of time that the kid will only play a year. Cockburn had a nice year and was probably told to give the NBA a try. If the same happens with Omoruyi, I'd have no problem. But neither are the type of situation I'm talking about.
Oh that makes it much clearer.......
So Rutgers shouldn't recruit any 5-star players because they "may" leave after 1 year (but not a guarantee they leave).
I'd like to see 1 coach say "no" to a 5-star elite level recruit.
But Rutgers should recruit high level 4-star recruits who could play really well and leave after 1 year.
That recruiting philosophy isn't incredibly confusing at all......
Well, you twisted what I wrote, but whatever. It's enough back and forth. Stay safe.
