    OT: Tracking Winter Storm Fern 1/25-26

    Thanks for these updates and appreciate the time Bac numbers and others put in. I just cleared my driveway in Morris County is it worth doing another round tonight or just waiting until morning?

    BB Recruiting Kansas State Transfer C Baye Fall commits to Rutgers Basketball

    Seems like he could be the rebounder and rim protecter we needed. Getting a little concerned Buchanan will be our best transfer in

    A Different Perspective - Incentive Bonuses

    i wouldn’t be surprised if schools start to get creative. I wonder if teams without a huge NIL war chest will start to “tank”. In the tank year only spend rev share and collect NIL for a 2 year period to try to field a competitive team in year 2. There is no roster continuity in the current...

    Be Honest, When did you first notice something was off?

    As a fan it’s natural to blind yourself to concerns. It started for me when we didn’t get a center from the portal. Each game concern grew and the realization set in that this is the team. After the Princeton game I pretty much gave up hope of us making the tournament. I held on to belief that...

    RAPID REACTION - Indiana

    if you would have shown me just ace and dylan’s stats so far, I would be shocked at our record. It was always possible we could be here but it’s hard to believe we are where we are with 2 all B1G ten players, one of them in the conversation as the best player in college basketball. Hard to...

    Overrated?

    2 main reasons I’m not concerned yet 1. I would rather be good offensively and need work defensively than the other way around. I trust Pike to figure it out. 2. I have never been all that concerned we were in danger of losing any game so far. Maybe St. Peters for a minute. We have been able...

    Steve Pikiell will have to deal with something he has never had to next year: Expectations

    It’s tough to say we need to make the sweet 16 next year in a vacuum. I’m going to look at the season as a whole. Like if we win the B1G tourney and lose as a 2 seed to a 7 seed who has a hot game from 3, I call that a successful year. But I think your overall point will become valid if we...

    2024 In Season Tourney - $2 mil NIL

    Understand you not liking the current direction. Just curious 5 years from now if there is a power 5 or 6 tournament where the winners get $5m in NIL and players are not going to class. Rutgers is in the final 4, you watching?

    2024 In Season Tourney - $2 mil NIL

    Saw your other post and get your point now. I agree not sure his helps with HS recruiting but this certainly helps in player retainage and transfer portal. Those guys would go into next year knowing they are getting that on top of whatever we can offer. Have to factor that with offers from...

    2024 In Season Tourney - $2 mil NIL

    Right of course you still need other NIL but this is $1M more than we would have without the tournament or am I missing something?

    2024 In Season Tourney - $2 mil NIL

    This would obviously be enormous to have locked up before portal season. I have to imagine this, paired with who we already are bringing in, will lead to is being an option for the best of the best transfers

    2024 In Season Tourney - $2 mil NIL

    for next year’s team wouldn’t this be ideal for Rutgers? More ammo for a transfer plus games that will improve SOS. If that holds up going forward for Rutgers would be the question. Is your concern Rutgers being competitive in this environment or the fact that the current direction is gearing...

    Personnel Moves

    Agree I like Derek too and he brings a lot to the table. I do wonder if we can afford the poor shooting of both davis and Simpson which is why I left him off. At the same time we need to be able to replace him with someone better. Ultimately I think this will be the toughest call of the offseason

    Personnel Moves

    This is what I want to see for next year: Starters: Jwill Harper Bailey Mag Portal Center / Cliff Bench: Griffiths Davis Sommerville Ogbole Portal guard who can shoot End of bench / limited minutes Grant Dortch Palm (Fine keeping him as a locker room guy) This is too big a year for some...
