    Football Rutgers Football parts ways with Director of Sports Performance Jay Butler, promotes Spencer Brown

    This was interesting, not sure I will get this totally correct but last fall after an ACL injury Schiano made what I thought at the time was a very strange comment, talked about muscle mass/physical strength at times being so developed that it was causing great stress on connective tissue...

    Rutgers Considered Slight Favorites to Return to Bowl Season by Analytics

    Significant use of the Transfer portal, makes these kind of projections useless, it pretty much comes down to how the coaches are able to blend the "pieces" into cohesive offensive and defensive units. The wildly successful model last year was Indiana, would be willing to bet that no...

    Gevonte Ware

    Can he box out, rebound, play some passable defense, put a miss shot back in the hole, as a freshman if he can do the above he can get on the floor for a few minutes most nights.

    NJ class of 2026

    It’s interesting, from a quality standpoint there seems to be greater density of talent in Georgia and to a lesser degree North Carolina, Fla. is a given. In recent years the NJ “national recruits “have tended to not live up to their hype. wondering if most NIL goes away if your not on the 2...

    BB Recruiting 2025 European Forward Denis Badalau commits to Rutgers Basketball

    hard to judge based on a highlight reel, if he's playing on for his national under20 team, he's at a minimum a reasonably good addition, he will be able to shoot the three, although he's wide open without a hand in his face in the tape, has a reasonably good first step, hard to judge his...

    BB Recruiting Kansas State Transfer C Baye Fall commits to Rutgers Basketball

    The kid has athletic ability, on a very limited sample size he appears to have potential as a rebounder and shot blocker, could fill a cliff like role,

    Great Spring Game for our Starting QB ? Oh Boy!

    Means nothing, or unless you feel 5 passes in a spring game overrides what he did all last season

    This is a Multiple Year Rebuild

    Pro ball is a man’s game, Ace is very talented but never the less still very young, the traditional route to the pro’s is after 3-4 yrs of college hoops and physical development. He’s going to go from 30+ games a year to 60+ games a year. Anybody that thinks he’s physically ready to compete...

    This is a Multiple Year Rebuild

    As said above there is no multi yr rebuild in todays environment, however I do wonder if we would have been better off retaining Woolfolk and the SJ guard who went to Temple, compared to what we brought in. They at least understood the culture the strong defensive approach and would have been...

    Lathan S.

    He is a split time center best case, he is not quick, no hops, and is slow off the floor, if you have a strong team and lots of money and need 10-15 fifteen minutes a game off the bench he fits. His game, with time and coaching, will improve, his athleticism, reaction time, quickness, and...

    Only at Rutgers

    Start with some reality, there were at Least 12 games where Ace or Dylan were not available plus at least 3 or four more where they tried to play and were not effective, plus others missing time with injuries. One thing Pike knows and coach’s it defense. So how do you explain previously putting...

    OT: Dan Hurley is a POS

    Looked like it was a fairly ref’d game, couple of questionable calls thought they went both ways kind of ebbed and flowed. Fla missed a ton of free throws like less Than 60%. Biggest issue Fla. made shots in the last 3 minutes UConn didn’t.

    Next Year’s Roster

    Just a total Dumpster fire, This cannot be allowed to continue

    I’ll say this again …we are where we are because three classes of this

    Player retention is a must, looking at the top of the league, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin all upperclass rosters with a handful of freshman an occasional transfer added, ok Michigan rebuilt a returning roster of 2,, with a boatload of money but it took them most of the year to get it going...
