    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    The performance by Dylan was terrific for any player but especially for a rookie to do something only Magic Johnson has done. Also, his defense was outstanding especially jumping into the passing lanes to get many of his 7 steals. But also , his defending of Chet who tried to back him down and...

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    What he is doing is what we saw he was capable of and why until he got hurt and I’ll there was a debate about Flagg and him for # 1. He is showing off his full bag and his shooting has really improved and his driving to the hoop was the best in the country last year in college and maybe again...

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    Well Pike and the GM has done a really good job of bringing in a backup 7’2 center rim protector who might catch some love and grab a few rebounds. He can also be used when other teams go to 2 bigs. Pike has totally revamped his frontline with 4 new transfers. With our $ situation not sure he...

    So, who’s here for next season (running list):

    We do not need another point guard . Lino will be starting and JMike will be backing him up. Doubt we have 1.75-2.25 million for an established point guard and likely they are going to the top 10 teams in the country. Lino will improve his distribution now that he has options in all 3 new front...

    Basketball Kaden Powers set to return to Rutgers Basketball for 2026-27 season

    Thought it was happening and glad he is back. Think he will take a huge leap in his shot selection, his defense. He has nice upside and is primed for that sophomore leap. Francis , Powers and Wooten should give us scoring out of the 2 guard. Hopefully he does well because when Francis is gone ...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball lands Manhattan transfer forward Will Sydnor

    Well Pike the staff and Rob Sullivan got it done so far. They got a new frontline with capable players that can finish , hit a shot , dribble and can play some defense. Would like a backup center to complete the team otherwise Smith , Kurdack and Syndor, with the retention of who should have...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball lands Virginia Tech transfer center Christian Gurdak

    Now we need another . Winning programs have been playing with 2 bigs. Michigan, Purdue , Michigan State. We need at least a Rim protector to complement Gurdak. Then Pike can go big or small . This was an excellent pickup but getting another would be really really good

    So, who’s here for next season (running list):

    Either Lino blows up and performs and he is your point guard next year or the following or you recruit one g for the year after next. With limited funds the front court still needs additions.

    So, who’s here for next season (running list):

    We do not need a point guard nor shall we waste that money. Lino mark will be our starting point guard and JMichael Davis will be his backup. Stop any other narrative . Francis, a potentially improving Powers and the freshman Wooten will be the 2 guard .we are set there as well. Smith will...

    Basketball Darren Buchanan set to return to Rutgers Basketball for 2026-27 season

    We are not bringing in 4 starters and Lino will be the starting point guard and JMike will be his backup . This nonsense about recruiting a point guard is wasted energy. The frontline is the problem and must be the only priority both offensively and more importantly defensively

    Centers and forwards from mid majors should be the focus

    The Avila post is fake. Now getting Smith today is a start , we still need a 4 and a 5 and a backup. Richie is hinting they are hoping on getting 2 bigs and it must happen. Although the prices have gone up 65% , the mid major centers do not command the same price that the top guys from...

    Centers and forwards from mid majors should be the focus

    Retention of JMike , Tarik Lino, Kaden an Buchanan probably cost between 3-4 million . Ware costs $200,000 tops. That leaves about 6 million for our frontline. We are not getting a top line center that is going for 3-5 million but we can get a bunch of 1.5 million centers and a couple of power...

    Centers and forwards from mid majors should be the focus

    As I mentioned in a prior post , there are centers and forwards from the Sun belt, MAC , MVc , Horizon that can all play and won’t break the bank Well Calipari just got the Furman center 6’11 who averaged a mediocre 13.9 and 5.9 rebounds and is going to Arkansas. Pike and his staff if they fail...

    BB Recruiting New Mexico transfer SG Lewis Duarte has signed with Rutgers

    This signing is almost irrelevant. 2 centers and 2 power forwards at a minimum. Do not have to be on a high major. If you watched the conference tourneys of all the mid majors there are plenty of skilled tough shooting and rebounding types that can do short rolls and get a basket inside 10 feet...
