Dortch and Grant

[Greene Rice FIG]

I wonder how close or far they are from joining the rotation. Most likely that would mean someone in the rotation would probably be bounced or have minutes reduced.

Been wondering about this myself. Dortch hasn’t even stepped on the court in a game yet, which makes me think he may redshirt.

Unlikely at this point. If they cannot get on the floor on these easier teams, low chance they earn trust to get time versus bigger opponents unless multiple injuries occur.

Exactly. I can see the rotation shrinking, not expanding.

This comes up every year.
Literally nobody has a 12 man rotation.

Low key redshirts…

I am keep thinking back to Jalen Miller.

Grant would capture 20 minutes a game on any other Pike squad except this one and is a better basketball player than a lot of frosh we have played in the past. It's impossible to see Grant play unless Martini completely implodes defensively and with rebounding and becomes a liability.

Coach Pikiell’s Remarks:

• “We’re excited about Dylan Grant officially becoming a Scarlet Knight. First and foremost, we are getting a wonderful young man from a great family. He’s an athlete, a rebounder, an inside-outside scorer, and the ultimate defender of all five positions. Rutgers fans are going to love him and most of all they are going to love his energy.”

Coach Pikiell’s Remarks:

• “Bryce Dortch is a unique player from a terrific basketball program. He was well-coached in a terrific AAU program. He’s versatile and reminds me of Caleb McConnell in some ways defensively. He can guard multiple positions........'

So according to Pike we have Dennis Rodman and Kevin Garnett on the bench - lol. But man we could use the D/Rebounding desperately on this team.
