That’s not really what that says…

Slater saying Hammond is out.

I don't read it that way.
I read it that Rutgers is among his options. Do you know something more?

 

[Rokodesh]

Awesome pick up. Really want Hammond as well, and a big man. How many spots do we have left?

 

[SkilletHead2]

Led the league in steals?! Very interesting.

 

[Waldo73]

Finally, we get a shooter! Yahoo

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Nice! Now let’s get Hammond.

 

[RUBlackout]

Who knows what is going on with those other open schollies...Caleb could come back....RHJ? Jaden Jones?

No Hammond. He is off the table.Was on campus today.

FWIW Fonseca told me he thinks the door is closed on Hammond

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

There are only so many spots available, Spencer was the player who visited and committed ahead of Hammond. Spencer charts out ahead of Hammond in every offensive efficiency category and has 2 years left instead of 1.

It keeps Derek Simpson in line to play a solid amount of 1st year minutes on the ball, which also adds to this Spencer pick up being a long-term investment vs a 1 year rental. Hammond is also a very good guard, but I don't know what else could have been done here to take both players.

It went Ethan Wright, Cam Spencer and Marcus Hammond in order of what guards we are aware of, visiting RU.

Jaden Jones is off the table according to a very reliable source.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Good job. Go get a couple more.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Nice welcome to the banks Mr Spencer

 

[knight82]

A much needed scorer

 

[bigmatt718]

So are we after 1 or 2 more in the portal? A backup big is a must, and I'd prefer a PG if possible if we have 2 spots open. Of course if Caleb, or dare I say, Ron come back, all bets are off.

Jayden Jones not coming back

I really believe there is a zero percent chance Ron comes back. Caleb is the big recruit we need to land now. One more role player, hopefully a big, from the portal I’d imagine.

Jaden Jones is off the table according to a very reliable source.

Also according to common sense

 

[RUsojo]

Will be interesting to see how he fits in the team.

Hammond was on campus earlier in the day I’m assuming? Anyone know for sure @RU72

Yes Hammond posted on Rutgers campus earlier today

 

[RU82]

All other things being equal you have to prefer a two year player over a one.

 

[Rokodesh]

I would put Caleb at 60% to come back. Ron and JJ 0%

 

[kcg88]

I will say that Hammond made sense as a combo guard. If there is a true PG out there then they would pair well with Spencer who is a 2. So you'd have the PG and Mulcahy for distribution and Spencer for shooting and one on one creation.

Imo that point guard would've been Camren Wynter but he signed with Penn State. Not sure which other true PGs are even out there if that's a path the staff wants to pursue. (Dawes is not that guy) Otherwise we hope Simpson is ready.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Welcome to the banks!

 

[babbs09]

Very happy with this. Spencer jumped first. Would’ve been nice to get Hammond too, but whatever, I get it. Still need to find another piece (or two).

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Awesome!

Thanks. Timing of these two things pretty much tells the story from the outside looking in.
