    Harsh reality about NIL

    Harsh reality before NIL: we were the pirates and Ohio State were the Yankees. Nothings really changed

    How do you explain Caleb

    He was a decent option off the bench but I think people started overrating him when we realized he would be a starter this year. Also, the Clemson game made him look better than he is. He's always been very inconsistent and has struggled when he is a main scoring option. He's best when coming...

    Andre Roye Has Rutgers In Top Four/May Announce On September 26

    Kid looks like a quality recruit but we have 6 O-linemen. Do we really need another for this class?

    Was waiting to hear how bad Philly fans are….

    If you think this is an American thing go watch a European soccer game. This is nothing.

    Two Texas A&M Players Paid $10k Each for Interviews

    I agree that it can be a small issue. Easily remedied like you mentioned. As simple as "Here's an accountant you can use for taxes that will help". But saying we should avoid paying players to avoid them getting in trouble for tax evasion is a bad argument. It's a big "what if". If we did that...

    I actually don’t hate the idea. Want to use your likeness? Walk on to the team and pay your way. Want a full scholarship? Give up your rights.

    Two Texas A&M Players Paid $10k Each for Interviews

    Don’t worry boomer, I will enjoy the mess with you. It’s definitely the Wild West and I’m sure things will get figured out as the years go on. But colleges don’t give a crap about students. It’s always been a big business and people finally realize that. Nothing will change. Big programs will...

    Two Texas A&M Players Paid $10k Each for Interviews

    And guess what? These kids will pay taxes as well. This idea that we shouldn’t pay them because “they’ll evade taxes!!!” Has no premise. Should we stop giving kids tickets to games to avoid kids reselling then and getting in trouble and evading taxes? Maybe we should stop feeding kids in fear...

    Tax evasion might be the dumbest argument I’ve heard so far. Just a fear mongering boomer idea. 18 year olds pay taxes everyday. Won’t be different for college students. There will be idiots who will evade taxes just like players have got caught using fake credit cards. Or people in the real...

    Looks like Copeland and Scott committed to Pitt

    Once Allen committed I wondered if we had room for Scott. I really liked Scott's tape but I think its a numbers game unfortunately. Hope all the best to these players.

    Who is next to Commit ?

    Would love to have him commit. Looks to be a player and has plenty of reputable offers. The issue is do they still take him after Allen committed?

    Disaapointed

    I'm confused. Does the season start tomorrow? Is our roster locked in? Your impatience is sad. And you're naive if you think one win in the tournament qualifies us close to being a blue blood. Do it for 5 more years and then we can talk. 32 teams made it just as far. It's special to Rutgers...

    Disaapointed

    Maybe you're having trouble keeping up because you keep moving the goal posts. Those were good recruits with offers from good schools who were highly regarded. Pike can recruit and get players. He has proven it in the past. Montez leaving has no bearing on that. Rutgers isn't going to recruit...

    Disaapointed

    Jaden Jones, Montez Mathis, Mulcahy, Jacob Young through transfer.. People really forget how fortunate we are with coach Pike. Speaks to how far we've come as a team to have higher expectations. There is so much talent in the portal. People are just impatient and want results NOW. Wait until the...

    A Willis Reed moment?

    If this was the championship game, maybe. But this is the round of 32 and Myles probably has a sprained ankle.. No where near close. This isn't some big possible moment lol
