    BB Recruiting Coastal Carolina transfer G Rasheed Jones commits to Rutgers

    Why is his numbers a notch above Sydnor and Smiths?

    Transfer Portal Targets

    IMO we’re not good enough to be so worried about fit. We need as many good, B1G level players as possible. And it’s much easier price wise to find a good guard than a good wing.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball ranks Top 20 nationally in the Transfer Portal

    Here’s a full game of Duarte vs the Thompson twins. Again, this was 4 years ago.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball ranks Top 20 nationally in the Transfer Portal

    I will say I actually had watched Duarte in OTE cause he played with Dom Barlow, and he did stick out to me at the time as maybe the second best player on their team. But that was also a few years ago and I don’t have the greatest belief he received tremendous coaching in the meantime. Luckily...

    Basketball Bryce Dortch to Notre Dame

    He couldn’t guard 5s at all (which he functionally has to guard cause he’s got the skill of a 5 on O, if that) and got beat whenever tasked with guarding someone smaller as well. Rutgers was better off when they put Grant/Buchanan at the small ball 5 on both ends. Buchanan can at least body up...

    Basketball Bryce Dortch to Notre Dame

    He was not good on defense. Even as bad as Buchanan was he was better than Dortch. Dortch wasn’t good.

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    Do we need Francis to score more? He just had an awesome season and I don’t see why we should expect him to have some big regression, he’s probably one of the best returning guards in the B1G, which we absolutely did not have last year going into the season. The on3 ranking for Grady is his...

    Any news on the transfers that left RU?

    Yes there is. For a million you can get an actual player that will get legit minutes and play well. On the other hand you might get a Grant type or even worse. We need as many guys that we can count on to give us good minutes every time on the court. Much more value for money at guard than...

    Any news on the transfers that left RU?

    But I don’t see why we’d need to even play anyone but Smith, Sydnor or Buchanan when we are healthy. Just rotate them to play all those minutes. Or at worst give 8 minutes to Powers at the 3. I think we simply need players. I think we upgraded from 2 to maybe 4-5 already, and that’s ignoring...

    Any news on the transfers that left RU?

    I really don’t understand the notion that Powers/Duarte/Wooten can’t guard 3s. Pike likes guys that can guard on the perimeter. Hard to find a ton of them in the portal for cheap. Plenty of teams run 3 skill guys on the perimeter. Just cause basketball got a bit bigger doesn’t mean we...

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    I don’t get why in this thread Francis is just dismissed in the convo for significant retention, if any other team was returning a 17 PPG scorer on good efficiency we’d be very scared of them. Meanwhile we are glorifying Minnesota getting a guard who averaged 4 PPG last year and best season in 3...

    Portal Targets

    We probably are, its just the first day. These are just the players which have sent out lists outlining who theyve talked to. Not every player does that and it just so happens those are the ones who have had their lists/interests reported. There are plenty of fanbases who have even less of an...

    Dybansta

    I think Hoiberg is a better coach than Pike. I also don’t think he’s 50x better than him and if not for NIL we probably are having a very different discussion about Pike as a coach. Of course, that’s the job now and Pike has been poor in the NIL era. But I truly do hope with a competitive budget...

    Dybansta

    But does it not matter? If we were an incredibly bad high major team that only got 9 wins this season you’d absolutely make a massive deal about it, and rightly so. I think most aren’t crowning Pikes season this year as an achievement but also I think it’s bad faith to also not consider things...

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    We def aren’t the level of these teams. I also don’t think the final version of our team was that terrible, they clearly figured out a bunch of ther issues. We need good transfers. I don’t think we require super stars though, and I believe Pike can get a group of 7-8 B1G quality players to a...
