BB Recruiting Rutgers makes Top 6 for 2021 Guard

The BC writer is a Seton Hall fan. He is very plugged into N.J. and eastern recruiting. He posts a lot of the SHU premium board.
I am not at all familiar with him, but at 6'0, he doesn't seem like Pike's type of player. Now, talent trumps all of course, but it feels like we want length at every position. Am I wrong?
I'd like another Jacob Young high energy type player. I don't know if Conway fits that mold, but we need a Jacob type on this roster after he graduates.
If he has a commitable offer, the staff wants him. Harper asked Rutgers Nation to blow up his Twitter, so he wants him. Good enough for me!
Since he's announcing his decision with Zags, if Seton Hall or Rutgers is not his destination, I'd be surprised. Zags is a NYC/NJ-based reporter, so I seriously doubt Conway would choose ZAGSBLOG to make his announcement if he were not South Orange- or Piscataway-bound.
As far as PGs go I’d rather have Jaquan Harris in 2022. Better size (6’4 as a rising junior) and I think there’s more potential and a better overall fit. Kid also seems to be pretty high on Rutgers based on his retweets around the time Cliff committed.
I guess the other side of the coin is after next season we’ll only have one true PG on the roster in Mulcahy.

We need another guard in 2021 with Geo and Young graduating
I have posted this before, but the thing that jumped out at me when we first entered the B1G was how long (and strong) the teams were up and down their rosters. Knew we had a lot of recruiting and building to do.
The team got so much better when an undersized guard (Young) started making plays. Need an explosive guy who can get to the rim.
No offense but Jacob Young isn't undersized at all.....he has his father with NBA bloodlines from Houston and Phi Slama Jama in the 80s with Akeem Olajuwon and Jacob's older brother was 1st team Pac 12 and landed in the NBA.
Jacob is 6'2, 185 to 190 and is the most explosive athlete on the roster, with Mathis and a developed Geo after him. Young dunking on Matt Haarms at Purdue was after 30 games of a season and in OT, where he dunked on him, with his off (right hand)....Conway is the real definition of undersized, he's probably listed at 6'0 or maybe 6'1, but looks sturdy, explosive but not the caliber of athletic ability of Jacob Young....Young just happens to be the shortest of RUs backcourt, but is not undersized by CBB definition.
Now, Rutgers is one of the longer teams in the B1G. We're so long it frustrates most of our opponents. :WideSmile:
You think we are long now
Consider this starting line up could be in 2022-2023
Mulchay (sr).
Jones (so)
Patterson (so)
Gak (so)
Onamuyri (jr)

I know totally different based on Big 10 and America East but pikiell went to NCAA tournament at SBU with a very good 5’9” NJ guard Carson Pureifoy. He was listed at 6’0” but that is a stretch. Everyone talks about Warney but puriefoy was very good and they wouldn’t have won without him.
Point of the story pikiell can win with anyone as long as they fit the system

Rutgers finished ranked #302 in three point shooting on the season. Maybe this kid isn't long, but obviously for Rutgers to keep getting better every year they need to address the shooting woes.
Conway just participated in a Hall/Instagram thing with the Hall fans.... supposedly he said that the
big east is his favorite conference, and has said in the past how much he loves the Hall Newark arena, etc
He has already made up his mind as to where he is going, so I THINK we can assume he is Hall bound....it would be a real shock at this point, or a real late reversal, for him to come here..
not having my hopes up....we will be fine

He's been headed to SHU for awhile now, there's nothing to be concerned about from a RU perspective, plenty of talent and prospects out there.
Absolutely. Nice pickup for SHU. But we’re in the running for a few guards from NJ who are as good or better. Onward and upward.
There are a lot of guys tweeting for him to come here.....two current players are also asking fans to let him feel the love....
When a guy gives his announcement date and it's two weeks out then he's probably already decided.
Different story if it's August and a player says he's going to announce in December
If he should go to SHU than good luck to him. SHU must have offers out to over 30 guys. They have been offering so many guys in the transfer portal as well as many 2021 and 2022 kids. Who can even keep track of who they have offered? I think Pikiell and the RU staff have a better idea as to who they would like in our program.
The transfer is a PF. Doesn't affect Conway at all.
Conway is a silent commit already to Seton Hall, just a matter of when it's formally announced or his commit date.
