    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Actually Harper was the exact opposite. The guy played when he was severely compromised from the secondary flu symptoms against Wisconsin and Purdue. He basically forced the team to let him play with a bad ankle injury the second half of PSU and MSU before finally agreeing to shut it down for...

    Basketball CBS Sports reveals way-too-early Big Ten predictions for 2026-27

    I agree. I was showing that just looking at the net transfer ranking and saying the B1G got much better is ignoring that they lost some elite talent. A lot of teams, while still better than Rutgers on paper, got worse this year.

    Yeah there's going to be some issues when you're relying solely on stats. And I believe that rating might only be an offensive rating so it's limited. The formula is pretty complicated but basically takes the unadjusted O-Rating and accounts for usage rate and opponent. So Crocker-Johnson really...

    Harper seemed to be the only Spur that didn't let the pressure of the moment get to them. Everyone else, and especially Wemby, was forcing everything.

    Here's all the returning players for each team. As you can see, not a lot of high end talent coming back. And do with this what you will, but if you filter the schedule to only show the games after Mark's 3PT cold streak ended, his rating would be 2.0. 18. Penn State - Ivan Juric (2.0) 17...

    I actually think a lot, maybe even most, B1G teams are less talented this year. Although that doesn't mean that they'll finish behind Rutgers because they had a lot of ground to make up.

    Sure these teams are bringing in better net transfers but this ranking ignores the incredible amount of talent that either graduated or left for the draft. Below is the team in reverse B1G standings order and Torvik PRPG! rating of players that aren't returning. Anything 2.5 or higher is...

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Does anyone not think last year was a tough year? I said it was the most disappointing season of any team I'm a fan off. And for Harper it wasn't just the losing. It was also the ankle injury and flu that made him drop 10 pounds.

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    By who though? A bunch of random people on Twitter and Reddit? Any legit reporters without a Rutgers/Jersey connection? We're also talking about how his run has started up the discussion again not what was happening in the beginning of the year. No doubt it was a colossal bag drop (and probably...

    But I don't think anyone notable, without a direct connection to Rutgers, is really talking about that. The article you linked was written by someone who used to work for the Star-Ledger specifically covering Rutgers and the other notable one I saw was an Athletic reporter who went to Rutgers.

    Do you think it would be better if they performed poorly in the NBA? Now the narrative is, not only did they not make the tournament, but choosing to go to Rutgers hindered their development.

    I mean when something happens for the first time in the 80 history of the sport then I would say it's a noteworthy stat. No need to take it as anything other than that.

    BB Recruiting Coastal Carolina transfer G Rasheed Jones commits to Rutgers

    All 4 are pretty different but I would consider Yeboah more of a wing than a traditional 4. Hoop Explorer breaks down each players shooting types and the majority came from the perimeter or transition. He only posted up on 5.8% of possessions.

    BB Recruiting Coastal Carolina transfer G Rasheed Jones commits to Rutgers

    Per Torvik, he leads the group in rebound rate and is second behind Jones in Defensive box plus-minus, but he's last among the group in TS%, 3P%, TO Rate, Assist Rate, and Offensive Rating. That being said, he made improvements, some big improvements, in essentially every metric his one year at...
