    Do we go after Naji Hines?

    Yeah I have no idea why Seton Hall didn't get him more minutes but his efficiency numbers are elite. 2nd in block rate and very good rebounding and shooting metrics.

    Rutgers needs to add a dog from Portal

    I don't necessarily disagree that Rutgers may need to pay up for some players but I got to push back on the examples you used. Somerville may have wound up being third string but they definitely brought him in thinking he would be the starter or at least a key bench player. Kepnang was a career...

    Portal Targets

    Leroy Blyden is definitely not bargain bin shopping.

    Could Ware follow the Myles Johnson path

    The mods were talking about how good Myles Johnson looked in practice during his redshirt year. They've said pretty much the opposite about Ware.

    Rutgers needs to add a dog from Portal

    It’s certainly possible he needs $2M but where do we think he would rank as a portal PG? There’s a good amount of PG and CG that played well for power 5 teams that are probably ahead of him and there’s also top teams that have their PG already in house so eventually you start running out of...

    Davis, Francis

    I'm seeing 29.3%. Either way not great.

    Davis, Francis

    Eh he did in the beginning of the year (42.5% OOC) but shot below 30% once conference games started.

    Rutgers needs to add a dog from Portal

    Yeah I just looked at the first name on the top of the Transfer portal list that made sense. Does Smoke have any connections to Aiden Sherrell?? He is from Detriot. I know pipe dreams that any top player would want to transfer to Rutgers but I think the money could technically work if they for...

    Rutgers needs to add a dog from Portal

    I actually don't think I would hate your scenario here. Let's say they pay $5M for two guys like Hines and Murauskas from Saint Mary's and $1.5 on a PG like Leroy Blyden? That leaves about $2.5-$3M for the rest of the roster which you fill with role players which means Francis is probably gone...

    Somerville dollars

    I can't imagine that's true. Sommerville had to already know that Washington was going to pay him 7 figures and Pike better know that's going to be a steal for any C this year.

    We watched Latham for an entire season

    $1M this year could be the same as $500K last year with school contributions now in play.

    Big East $$ for Rosters Will Exceed RU

    I can see the rules getting adjusted but no way will the other P4 schools be able to start their own tournament that comes close to competing with the current format. Especially if the Big East has some of the best teams. No TV companies are bidding for that.

    OT: Xavier hiring Richard Pitino: Musketeers move quickly, hire New Mexico coach after Sean Miller's departure

    I'm sure we'll never get the full details but curious why he chose Xavier over Villanova? Did Xavier offer a richer contract and higher NIL budget? I know Villanova football isn't FBS but it is one of the better FCS programs in the country so I wonder if they're getting a decent chunk of the...

    Portal is open. Let’s discuss here. Potentials, etc

    Well now that he's gone I'll end this discussion lol. That said, Richie says that he required 7 figures. If that's true, then no chance they should pay that. Then again, maybe that's the market now for average centers now that direct contributions from schools has officially skyrocketed the...

    Portal is open. Let’s discuss here. Potentials, etc

    Freeman was more of an athletic wing that couldn't shoot and was put on the post out of necessity. Doorson and Doucoure were terrible and Thiam was way too weak. Sommerville is a much better offensive player and especially in the post. Freeman was also physically a finished product by the time...
