Correct to a point, but still too many upsets of well seeded Big 10 teams. Iowa, IL, Wisconsin and Purdue all lost to worse-seeded teams And did not look good in doing so!
Until Illinois and Purdue lost I think you could have made the case that the seedings were holding. But those two were the nails in the coffin for conference pride this year.

I expect Andre Curbelo to enter the transfer portal. He needs a fresh start, a reset.

Poor kid missed half the season with a severe concussion from which he still has symptoms, had the flu, had covid, had an ankle injury, even had pinkeye during the Big Ten tourney.

I think he goes closer to home. Great talent. Just a lost year.

Played his junior year at Hudson Catholic. Rutgers was his first offer but not sure how much we pursued.

Here's a curious one considering the role increase he'd be up for with Ivey and Stefanovic leaving, plus his older brother was a 4 year Purdue player and graduate assistant coach.

PG from NY, 2 years left to play I think, great defender for a guard and athletic. Maybe not the same level of shooter as the other guys but this guy is a very solid player

Bradley transfer?…unfortunately, now I can’t get Omari Grier out of my head.

COVID, the flu AND pinkeye? He may need to change his off-court habits a tad lol!

You can’t worry about the three-point shooting percentage from a guy like him. He’s one of the best creators out there and pushes play. Would love to have him.

Imagine what Curbelo and Cliff could do together. It would be a thing of beauty. Not sure that would make up for his out of control playing style at times, although the staff seemed to have success with that on JY.

I heard @Greene Rice FIG is putting together an NIL deal to land Curbelo
I'll be honest. I actually wondered what my thoughts would be if he came here. He definitely has talent.

I contacted Skinny Vinnies and the owner graciously said if Andre would be a spokesperson and hand out flyers in front of Brower Commons he could get a free pizza every week.

If he came to Rutgers, would this ease criticism of Pike's ability to recruit top players?

Those Terry Roberts numbers really make me wish we’d offered him as a JUCO last year. Know we expressed a fair amount of interest — would’ve been real nice to have another true point off the bench as opposed to Miller (who likely could’ve used a full development year)

Yeah this is interesting because he actually looked really good last year and this year he was limited and sloppy but for good reasons. I would say he’s a take for sure. A 4 star from NYC. He doesn’t okay Pike ball or so we think but something tells me Pike is the type of coach who would adapt to a guy like this.

I wouldn’t have Curbelo super high on my list and if he did come here I’d want him coming off the bench in a JY-type role TBH

Want hammonds bad along with the laf center for a back up.

Curbelo is very obviously going to StJohns any offense he’d thrive in imo if he tones down the and1 mixtape passes a bit. Think we’d do wonders with him here ala JY who arrived out of control but with insane talent.

A lot of hints in my opinion online + his bff is Pinson. Offense conducive to his style etc. just my thinking. Maybe very obvious wasn’t the right wording. I just think it’s going to happen.

To win titles and championships, get talented players. That's the hardest part. It's the coach & staff's job to make it work. Curbelo passes the eye test for talented player.
