#1 doesn’t have a Rutgers offer, #3 does.

What’s the issue here?

Apparently we have a rock star head coach, who according to some deserves a statue.

We play in the B1G, fresh off our first tournament appearance in 30 years, a great home court atmosphere, a very talented big man.

Why aren’t we in the thick of things? Or am I asking too much for us to recruit national guys that come from our state?

I’ll hang up and listen.

If a kid is number one and has Gonzaga, NC and Duke why do you think we could get the kid? We have had 2 good years in the last 30 years.

I mean what’s the harm in offering?
We even offered Chet Holmgren.

No bag men and no history in program for prior 30 years. Why is it so hard to understand. Pike will get one occasionally but why do people expect 5 star recruits after 2 decent years?

I didn’t say anything about landing them. We aren’t even in the damn conversation.

Enough with the bag man excuse. NIL deals are here. You don’t need a damn bag man.

That’s not my job, that’s the staffs. Get creative.

Go to jersey Mikes and explain the situation. It’s a tax write off and a good investment.

There are plenty of places to turn.

Lol — the staff damn well knows they’re not coming here. Call it defeatist, but trust me they know better than you and I about a kids interest. If those kids wanted RU offers, they’d have ‘em

you don’t have to offer everyone in the top 10 in NJ. You think Schiano offers every top recruit in NJ.

Name me the head coach of the basketball team.

I’ll have NIL deals locked up for some high school studs within 6 months.

and being Rutgers, you’d get caught by the powerless ncaa, yet we’d get some insane punishment.

You think Schiano wasn’t involved in Gavin’s deal?

This board is so naive.

I’m sure he’s had conversations about NIL with big donors, but he’s certainly skilled enough not to have anything that could possible tied back to him or the school. Big donors do this kind of thing without being directly asked.

Get a guy associated with Rutgers that your trust. Let him handle the rest.

I’m sure big donors did this without directly being asked. NIL is new, why wouldn’t they choose our most high profile QB recruit in years to ink the first major deal with. Where are all the other deals our coach or his man are brokering then?

Well he definitely didn’t post about it on this board before he got hired which helps with deniability.

What’s crazy is the amount of hoops you guys are jumping through to explain why we aren’t at least in the conversation with these guys.

NIL is there, money isn’t an issue. It’s legal so you can run a precious clean program while utilizing it.

Yes but schools can’t be involved or broker the deals if they want to be “legal”. If Schiano was brokering them don’t you think we’d have more than 1 big deal?

Dajuan Wagner son is going to Kentucky. No point, no one has a shot at him but Calapari. What I don't understand is the lack of effort. Appears we never tried to get Otega Oweh - whose going to Oklahoma. So many nice players out here and we just keep bringing in duds. Pike is not working hard enough to get talent here, and the effort is showing

what big name recruit have we beat other programs for?

even if he is involved have the same problem as always. Blue bloods have bigger NIL pockets. How are we going to beat Ole Miss, OSU, Texas, etc. We aren’t most of the time.

I don’t know the answer to your question

It’s ridiculous not to Offer! Please Geo makes
1 play offense defense in the last 5 minutes or just not make a mistake in the round of 32 we are sweet 16
And we don’t offer the number 1 recruit from on own state!! Someone should be fired on that alone!!!
On top of the fact that this years team is a top 10 team if we play to 90% of our potential. Absolutely no excuse

One good thing about the NIL situation. It should go a long way in cleaning up the corruption that goes along with the AAU world and family advisers .

Dumbest thread of the day....

Why isn't this done in football....NIL means kids aren't going to pick Georgia, Bama, A&M, Ohio State, LSU.....just create a NIL deal and the kids come pouring in.....LMAO

The fans like the OP have to be the dumbest people ever.....and I could be wrong but isn't the OP, the poster who said RU should hire Penny Hardaway from Memphis, because his recruiting was better.....?? How is Memphis doing with all of their bagmen ???

It's not only the blue bloods getting top 300 recruits. Yet for some reason Pike gets guys like Palmquist and Reiber.
