    OT: Can't remember when......

    Why not? I have several posters on the actual Ignore function. So I never have to read the idiocy they write or how they respond to my posts.

    BB Recruiting Rutgers offers 2027 Four-Star NJ G Micah Gordon

    Linehan? What a ridiculously skilled defensive pest.

    Centers and forwards from mid majors should be the focus

    If I had to guess - and it is only a guess ... Keeping Francis, Mark, Davis, Buchanan (him not yet announced) and Powers (no news - but apparently expected to say) ... plus Ware and the Dominican player probably cost about $3 million. Ware and the Dominican kid could not have cost more than...

    Fall, Nwuli and Badalau are all in the portal . . . .

    Interesting, since the portal is not actually officially open. Though they could have announced it on their own.

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Not a great game for him last night. He is clearly their 3rd primary scoring option, right now, behind the 7 footer, and their PG. They are still easing him into his role. He is doing fine. He IS going to be a star, you can tell. He is a little physically over-matched from a strength stand...

    OT: NBA Rookie Class

    Bailey: In his last 12 games (after he started getting playing time after his illness, and about 2 games before he was inserted into the starting line-up), before tonight vs the Nets, Bailey is averaging 13.6 ppg on 64-123 FG (52% FG), 27-69 3-pointers (39% 3-py FG), 3.7 rpg, 2.0 ***/g. In...

    The lone bright spot so far this season

    The lone bright spot is Ogbole's improvement? Really? What about Grant's improvement? Which is even greater than Ogbole's. And though not as dramatic, what about the improvement Davis and Dortch have made? Are not those also bright spots, even if not enough to carry the team to a winning...

    Rank the RU coaches since the 1976 Final Four Team

    Young was not happy Gruninger did not take RU to the Big East ... like really unhappy. When Young lost out to Pitt for Charles Smith, after a truly awful Pitt program got invited to the Big East (after the 1982-83 season) - the Big East did so to kill the very near creation of an Eastern All...

    Rank the RU coaches since the 1976 Final Four Team

    And he was the lead recruiter of Ralph Sampson when he was an assistant coach at UVA, before his tenure as head coach of Penn. One of my best friends called me the thank me for RU hiring away Littlepage from Penn - he hated Littlepage as a coach, thought he was simply awful. Littlepage was a...

    EO made the best offensive move of his life

    Though I would not bet on it, maybe Ogbole delivers an Eric Clark impersonation - who was very mediocre for most of his career, and even at the start of his Senior season, before emerging as a real factor in the last 20 games or so of his Senior season.

    Shot Chart vs American

    But 53% eFG% is not bad. Though it was just 1 game vs American. Overall in 4 games, RU's eFG% so far this year is 51.5%, about what it was last season in out of conference, maybe a touch better. Last season, RU's team eFG% was 50.6%, 49.9% in the Big Ten conference (so maybe 51% out of...

    Fun Team To Watch

    It is ALWAYS fun to watch RU win, unless the team is really, really miserable to watch. They have not been really miserable to watch this season so far. So .. 4 fun games to date! And frankly, other than the American game, none of the games were ever really in doubt, just the margin of...

    Defense stinks right now and I don't really get it

    First, who is this 3rd person Shelby? Is he different than Shelby65? Second, Davis is not 5'10", but a legit 6'2". So, yet again you simply have the facts wrong. That said, Davis can be shot over by taller guards, so the concept is not inaccurate. Third, Pikiell is "loyal" to Davis because...

    1 year ago today's bench productivity

    As did Cam - my dim recollection was that Spencer got something like $125K form UConn when RU had offered something like $25K. And that Paul M got close to $400K ... crazy, if true, that Paul got more than 3X what Spencer got. And .. for those years, the 2nd year of the portal, only, I think...

    RAPID REACTION — Maine

    I obviously have not been paying enough attention to the season ... interesting ... If you think about it, a HUGE number of teams now have enormous turnover in rosters and a ton of new players each season - and how those players gel and how fast are major factors in how well a team does, talent...
