Jalen Brunson and KAT would have gone to Rutgers if we had a good program

Brunson was born in St Peter’s Hospital in New Brunswick. KAT is from Piscataway. It hurts to see Jerseys best find success elsewhere.

Posting this on the football board just shows again that no one here is doing it like Al. Troll game miles ahead.

Personally, I've always wondered if we could have gotten KAT and Brunson if any of our most devoted fans wrote them a personalized song.

Or if they paid more for parking.

It's a shame that Rutgers is stuck with awful fans like RutgersAl.

He doesn't walk the talk.

Dear old Rutgers deserves so much better.

I've always said that sooner or later, everyone has a Jersey connection.

Maybe it wasn't RU's program that turned them off, but not being "serenaded" by a certain RU fan that had them so disappointed that they left the state to play.their college ball.

DeadbeatAl and his beer belly making unhelpful look at me posts again after getting run off the football board in embarrassment lol
I used to defend him before ,when he just seemed (to me) an overly positive fan that pushed his positive RU FB messages a bit too far. But I felt they were a nice break from all the negativity being shared at the time..
Now the tone of his messages has changed and becoming indefensible , in my opinion.

Unfortunately, as one of his biggest defenders for 20 years and someone I consider a friend, I have felt the same way for a while now.

I used to defend him when he was just the over exuberant goof who predicted a NC every year.

Now that he’s christened himself as some sort of leader who negatively tries to guilt people into doing what he was stupid enough to admit to not doing, well yea. **** that guy. And his beer belly.

If only we recruited Rick Brunson instead of Rich Brunson maybe we could have gotten Jalen

A little fact , though born in NJ , Brunson’s family moved to Illinois when he was in 6th grade so it should be an Illinois fan whining he didn’t do to Illinois because he played his high school ball in Illinois .

Better yet, Temple fans could whine about him nor picking them, both his parents went there



KAT might be someone to whine about as the one that got away seeing hie was raised in Piscataway , but playing for a blue blood like Kentucky is hard to pass up if they offer you a spot on their roster

Or competent coaching and an actual chance to win games.

Win and they will come, that probably was a big reason in the choices Jalen and KAT made for the College they committed to .
Playing for coaches like Jay Wright and John Calipari add more incentive

Huge miss by KAT. Decided to go to Kentucky under Calipari and get drafted 1st overall when he could’ve played for Eddie Jordan coming off a 12 win season in the AAC.

What do you mean? You know if RU alums donated and had a good hoops program the Brunson family never would have moved.
