    Selling improved facilities to recruits

    We're also behind the team camp game. Team Rio was at Maryland's camp this weekend. St. John's hosted dozens of talented prospects from the area. Rutgers has to turn it around with transfers, jucos and Jordan recruits, then somehow convince players they can win in the Big Ten starting at the...

    Why not play the guys who you may need beyond this season? I'd rather develop Diallo and Doorson over a rental player who's still available for some reason this late in the ball game. Maybe after the Francis visit we hear about a 5th year. I don't know.

    Same reason someone who wanted increased muntues picked St Bonaventure over a Rutgers. Playing time and a chance at the postseason. I know of the grad transfers available and if the staff had legit interest they would have taken visits. Dude it's almost mid-June! We have Freeman, Doorson, Sa...

    That want to play a reserve role at Rutgers? Norville Carey just committed to Rider. Kids want to play. Not be a 4th guard or forward in their last season.

    Most of the graduate transfers that are available averaged fewer than 4-5 points per game in small conferences. Why bother? Batie and Dadika can't shoulder the load? There is literally no one left in 5th year market to choose from.

    The time to add a good graduate transfer are over. The best ones want a significant role. If everyone's healthy, our rotation is set.

    What if they're no better than a walk-on?

    Transfer Target Bradone Francis to Visit

    It'll most likely come down to coaching and luck. Our last few transfers have had HS accolades. Kerwin Okoro Wally Judge Bishop Daniels You take a risk because we can't afford not to. The Big Ten is adding four stars and bigger name transfers and we need talent no matter how flawed.

    Derryk Thornton Duke

    I guess players will have to stop committing to Duke or else K will just keep lying to get what he wants.

    Derryk Thornton Duke

    They have incoming 5-star guard Frank Jackson. His minutes were going to shrink.

    Real quick-sell me on Brandon Knight. I do not know anything about him.

    Wouldn't worry too much about Thompson. He's got Kansas, Arizona, UConn, Providence and Syracuse recruiting him. Just too much firepower to overcome.

    Not trying to rain on your parade but......

    Just wondering about some other landing spots for Brandin Knight ... UConn? Vandy? GT? Louisville?

    Not trying to rain on your parade but......

    I prefer Knight to Young but Pikiell has experience beyond Stony Brook. Also Hobbs has experience that does not include Stony Brook. It's risky to hire someone who just has ties to one or two spots (CBA, Hutch, for example), because if the pipeline dries up or the better players go to more...
