Why not Lundy and Myreon Jones, Jones can definitely score the ball, really need a scoring guard

Those guys are going to get big time interest. Rutgers is at least two tiers below all the teams that usually go get transfers.

Offensive rebound %: 9th national, 1st in B1G
Defensive rebound %: 47th national, 3rd in B1G
Free throw rate: 4th national, 1st B1G (he gets to the line)

These 3 statistics put us into the Sweet 16 without it even getting close the other night. If he wants to come play in Piscataway you take this guy. Period.

*** Unless we find a better option with statistics like this

Uhhhhh no. In near identical minutes, they average very similar point/rebound numbers — with Myles shooting a decent amount higher from the field (63% vs. 55%).

Where the two players are vastly different is on the defensive end. Myles is the top defensive big in the B1G, and likely one of the top 5 in the entire country. Harrar is anything but — he may be stout down low, but he trails Myles in steals (1.1 vs. 0.6), blocks (2.4 vs. 0.3!!!), and pretty much every advanced metric.

It’s not close who you’d rather have on this team — and I’d bet damn near every coach in the country would rather have Myles. I’m not trying to marginalize the importance of offensive rebounding, but Myles has a way more significant two way impact

No question you’d rather have Myles. He can change games with his defense. However, no one our current roster is going to outwork Harrar.

Nailed it

And as Hawk basically said Carr not a good fit for a Pikiell coached team

playing for pikiell is a dream come true for any scorer. The reason is everyone fits pikiell’s system as long as you defend. Pikiell let’s anyone shoot any shot from anywhere anytime. When was the last time we saw pikiell pull a guy for a bad shot? Never. I want Cliff to pull a couple 3s next year just to test pikiell and see how many he can get away with. Not in a big game of course.

Mathis went 0-100 against Clemson and pikiell still didn’t say a word.

TWO tiers? A Big 10 team that went to the NCAA tournament and made it to the round of 32??

Yes. Making one run in the NCAA Tournament doesn't mean anything. How many elite prospects did Northwestern get after their run to the round of 32? It takes a lot more than a couple of good seasons to change an entire generation of bad press.

Northwestern got 3 four star recruits in the 2018 class. And this is Northwestern we are talking about, very difficult school to get into.

You have no idea what your talking about....Northwestern has landed 6 to 7 Top 150 kids since they made the dance.

Kopp is another Houston kid, who is friends with Jacob Young, I think Kopp is a nice pick up for the right program that maybe doesn't need him as a lock starter but he's definitely a high caliber worker and teammate. Would not surprise me to see him land somewhere quickly.

Ridiculous assertion. For one thing, just your status in the pecking order doesn't win recruiting battles. Location, playing time, relationships with coaches and current players, coaching style, academics, proximity to family, a girlfriend...all factor in. Rutgers is not two tiers below. But even so, recruiting is more than that.

definitely never a slam dunk, but freshman to sophomore may be the biggest leap in non one and done players. But to "show someone the door" unless there is a good reason is a bit much
I agree. But kids do get recruited over and pushed out . It happens . That’s why pike gets paid the big bucks

Is there a sweetspot for these guys announcing their commitments, or could it equally be any time from now thru Septembere?

Seems unlikely that RU would land a top tier commitment with the decision on who is returning still in flux. Same is probably the case for a lot of other schools too.
