    Guess the rotation

    So, no Duarte.

    Darren Buchanan Jr. organizes free basketball camp (donates his entire NIL)

    This is almost too nice. I would tell him to wait a while, until your mid 30's when you know how things are working out for your career, before giving this kind of money to charity.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball Director of Basketball Ops Mike Larkin leaving for Stonehill

    I was actually hoping for some turnover at the assistant level but I guess that is not going to happen this late in the calendar.

    OT: News 4 San Antonio live TV.

    It’s such a shame that tens of thousands - hundreds of thousands- of animals have to make a handful across the city look bad.

    Guess the rotation

    Ugh. I think Duarte will qualify. I thought Dorian Jones would qualify (and yet somehow Brendan Sorsby does qualify). One thing for certain, the NCAA pretends to be tough with schools like Rutgers to keep up the pretense that they serve some function.

    Christian Gurdak has landed

    Gurdack represents the most significant upgrade by position. I don't see him dominating any other B1G centers but I do see him holding his own better than we've seen Cliff.

    BB Recruiting Rutgers Basketball adds Slovenian wing Martin Tonejc

    This what I fear most. Making decision based on comfort and Steve's throat tightening up when the game is on the line. He might indeed hand JMike the ball in late game situations and it will be a huge mistake. We are not good enough to call off the attack until the cheerleaders are showered...

    BB Recruiting Rutgers Basketball adds Slovenian wing Martin Tonejc

    Funny, but let's wait and see. I'm still pulling for a high school kid to get the last slot.

    Which returning player will be most improved in 2026-2027?

    Of course Ware has the most room to improve, but Buchanan is the one who has the table set for him. If someone works with him on boxing out/ sealing in rebounding, his contribution could be significant. He could also play the hockey enforcer role, which is coming back. The ways he needs to...

    Guess the rotation

    As is stands, I could see winning 3 more games. Best case senario: Moving up to the lower middle ( 9th -12th) of the B1G. That would be bubble for the field of 76. We need some surprises and maybe another shoe to drop to do more than that.

    COLUMN: Does Rutgers men's basketball have another move left?

    Interesting take. Well written. Thoughtful. The Targum has always had talented writers. Personally I'm hoping that at least one of NJ class of 26 kids.

    OT: L$U & “Strong Azz Offer” Wade

    "Madar is averaging 11.1 points and 3.9 assists while shooting 33.9% from 3-point range. Statistically, he fits the mold of a solid collegiate role player more than a $5 million man." This sounds insane to me.

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    There can be no question that at 7'2" and pretty good about running the boards, Buca fits Pikes version of a rim protecting shot blocking defender. Solid reserve who is not going to go off script. This is a major upgrade in fit more so than talent.

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    If they think our players are good, what must they think of our coaches?

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    No Richie. We obviously can't. Such is the human condition that a back up center on an also-ran basketball team causes extreme hostility.
