    So, who’s on our roster for next season (running list):

    There’s no point thinking about 2 years down the road with the transfer portal. To earn time this coming season, Kaden will have to substantially improve his defense. Lots of guys make big jumps after their frosh season so it’s certainly possible, but that’s his biggest obstacle - he’s not...

    I love Tariq. But he’s not going to the NBA. Just not fast enough.

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    It is what it is. There’s really no point harping on it. If the offense comes crashing and burning back to earth or the defense doesn’t show clear signs of life, Zinn is going to have to eat the cost and move on. I don’t care what she’s saying behind closed doors to pacify our higher roller...

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    Good post that pretty much sums up where we are at. A lot of extreme views in both directions, but blended all together we’ve reached a 2026 season defining crossroad in terms of Greg’s future. Can Kirk sustain the steady progress he’s shown over the past 2 seasons since GW was finally sent...

    Podcast Rutgers Football Summer Preview Series: Boston College Eagles Edition - TKR Pod

    I’ll add that the TKR footage of every throw from Lonergan doesn’t really scream “red flag” to me on the blitz the way BC’s media guy made it out. I didn’t see major signs of Lonergan holding the ball too long or freezing. Yeah - there were a couple fumbles right before he lost the job where...

    BB Recruiting Italian F Diego Garavaglia commits to Rutgers Basketball

    Yeah - this. Defense is a much more reliable predictive metric. He’s not logging meaningful (non-garbage time) minutes at the level he played at in Germany without lighting it up unless he earned that time via defense which is consistent with the scouting report. In the weaker 18U league he...

    BB Recruiting Italian F Diego Garavaglia commits to Rutgers Basketball

    The scouting report on his defense is huge. Shooting always more of a crap shoot but we have more than enough horses for Pike to work with when it comes to stopping a scoring drought. The D has been the bigger Achilles heel, so adding a lengthy 6-7 kid with a recruiting profile like this who...

    BB Recruiting Italian F Diego Garavaglia commits to Rutgers Basketball

    Watching him play, seems like a 3 to me. Plays defense so I love the pick up. This addition alone all but guarantees well be better at D 1-4. Not sure about the D at the 5 spot though. Hope we’re adding one more piece even if it’s a PF who could play stretches with Sydnor without a true...

    What's everyone feeling about the upcoming Rutgers Football Season?

    TKR guys have been raving about the wide out room on the podcast. They claim we’re stacked behind Duff. Provided we get the blocking and line protection we need it really does seem like we’re deep and versatile in the skill positions and we know at worst we’re rolling with a QB who completed...

    What's everyone feeling about the upcoming Rutgers Football Season?

    I don’t know. I feel like either AJ is truly ready to play and throw or it’s going to be Lonergan. Greg is not going to be in a position to play things the way he did with GW keeping it on the ground. He doesn’t have the horses on D to do that. Our best defense last season was keeping the...

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    Well you said - what about the other 26 losses (besides the 13 another poster pointed to from 10+ win teams). The point I was making is - if we’re going to look at a subset of the body of work, we should also strip out the games that any coach would’ve won or lost. You or I could’ve coached...

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    No. The defense would be (IF it happens following this season), while Greg himself hasn’t been good and doesn’t “deserve” to continue on as coach, it is best for RU next off season to continue on with both the existing offense and defense. For this to be true will depend entirely on how the 2026...

    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    Right - to be fair, we’d really need to play both “what would Ash do” and “what would Urban do” to string the remaining automatics out of that 30-26 record. Let’s start with Ash. There were 5 automatic FCS wins mixed in there that even Ash would’ve 100% won. So that objectively brings him...

    What's everyone feeling about the upcoming Rutgers Football Season?

    I don’t think there’s anything to it. The bottom line is we were one of the worst defenses in the country and didn’t bring in any hyped up players to improve it. Cracking the defensive top 100 in many categories would be notable improvement based on the starting point. When you project to be...
