    Looking back..Al Golden

    You have to have some perspective tho on Golden. His run at the U was tarnished by NCAA sanctions that he wasnt warned about before he left Temple and took the job. And he rebuilt Temple from a far worse situation then what he would inherit from Ash. He would certainly recruit NJ better then...

    Eugene

    that's how you build a program from ruins. 4-5 stars arent coming; takes great talent evaluation to see the potential in raw kids who have huge upside; then add pieces as you prove your system to more talented recruits, Pike and staff have done a great job. Continuity of staff has been key as...

    Pikiell's 1st mistake?

    dont disagree re the need for a PG - a break down the D and dish PG. But given where RU was when Pike took over how can you expect to find one? Need to demonstrate momentum and that RU can have success. And it worked. Would RU have got Mathis if the 2016 record was Jordanesque? Yes still a lot...

    Game 2 Thoughts: Central Connecticut St

    My biggest concerns from what i saw today (not in order): 1) awful shot selection 2) missed shots when shot selection was good 3) lack of dribble penetration 4) lack of defensive intensity (lazy close outs) 5) sloppy play in end game situations - alley oop WTF?? (freshman!) Lots of film for...

    What's criminal about players taking money?

    The kids are not targets here nor are they key witnesses. If this prosecution helps rid the game of handlers, advisors and street agents thats a good thing. They are the targets and you can bet they will sing like canaries on other coaches and programs involved in similar deals.

    Faces in the Crowd: Me and Ben

    Absolutley agree - followed by the temple semifinal at the palestra when we walked in and saw 1 seed wvu losing big to psu and started chanting back to the rac. Then 3d is the win against temple in the regular season at the rac and counting 5 seconds for the officials very time temple inbounded...

    Nice Article on Our Recruiting Class in the NY Post

    I recall i had a dialogue with zach on twitter when pike was setting up his staff. He was complimentary but wanted to know who was going to bring players to RU. Pike and his staff answered that criticism this week resoundingly getting carey would be so huge and complete the change of local...

    Rutgers Makes the Cut, Jalen Carey Top 6

    Bottom line is we are still chasing shu. Willard has done a great job. They have had recent success and we havent. That will change. Will be seriously interesting between now and november. Great job by pike and staff.

    R Mathis & McClung Mutually Exclusive?

    My understanding is yes b/c McClung is a point while Mathis is a scorer. I assume Pike is recruiting as if Sanders leaves which would be my assumption as well.

    What Montez Mathis Would Mean To Rutgers

    A lot of good posts on here. Agree with hawk that Mathis would be huge get and jumpstart to rebuild; but there are lots of other guards and have lots of confidence that Pike has a plan if Mathis picks Yukon We should not be surprised if mathis goes the safe route to a coach at an established...

    Corey Sanders Not Invited to NBA combine

    I mean my goodness what do you expect the coach to say publicly. He HAS to support the player nmw! The nonsense spewed on this board is sometimes ridiculous.

    Pikiell has in-home visit with Naz Reid

    really will take a special kid to want to do that. I am hopeful but realistic. more likely need to build a solid foundation of talent first so it isnt as great a risk for the kid to choose RU over blue bloods.

    My First Post In Many Years

    I think the other factor will be the motivation to work even harder in the off-season. As the team matures the taste of those close losses will help provide some fuel to off season workouts and improvements.There wont be any question or delay with player buy-in. And the coaches will have seasons...
