    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    1st game I watched this year was the 2nd half of ILL and UCONN. I dont miss the game one iota. The game is all about screening 20 feet from the basket and chucking 3s. A beautiful game has been turned ugly. I find it unwatchable.

    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    It's 2026. I disagree 100%. You don't win with freshmen. Every is on a 1 year contract. The only fix is $. It is over. We will NEVER be able to compete again. I genuinely feel bad for all of you guys.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball to participate in 2026 College Basketball Crown

    So sometime between April 3rd and April 6th Pike and the coaching staff arrives home in NJ. If the portal open April 7th there isn't a lot of time to get ready for 1st day of free agency Maybe I am wrong, but the way Pike wants his program to look there is value in taking hours of time and...

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    snow....but i have looked every once in awhile. I think Pike has no interest in the way the game is today. Add to that he has no ammunition. me leaving has nothing to do with not winning. I will say Myles and Cliff was the backbone of our successful squads. No Myles no NCAAs. Most...

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    We have seen a gradual uptick every year (your explanation is reason). This year is a much bigger move up (guessing it is an effort thing).

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    I haven't watched a second of college basketball since the BYU-Alabama game in the NCAA tournament. Tell me if there are rule changes,......NCAA offensive efficiency was 1.067 PPP last year and is 1.095 PPP this year. It has been ticking up every year, but not an increase like this year. JUST...

    If the Zips lose in the final of the MAC do they steal a bid?

    I've never

    Pike needs to bring in someone young and new. Someone who is willing to work countless hours scouring over game films and doing research and compiling a list 20X bigger of potential adds. Once that list is found relentless recruiting of those names. This is NOT happening. The season ends and...

    Pike Really Has to Go...

    The simple reality is he doesnt have the drive and interest to compete in the new landscape. season end mid March and the last thing he wants to do is use the limited resources he has to meticulously fill the roster with his guys. He recruits his type of players, but when the offseason hits...
