    New NIL rules (Edited to summarize the lawyer-ese)

    You beat me to it @Leonard23 …. The people paying the money aren’t just going to say, “oh well, I guess we can’t pay for athletes any more “. Under the table deals will increase. Also it will be easier to conceal because most of the athletes will be paid legitimately, so any new material item...

    Football Rutgers & Temple add home/home series

    I’ve been to 2 RU games at the Linc in the past 10 years. I’d be in favor of a home and home with them just about every year! As others have said: gives us a chance to play in a nearby pro stadium, in the 6th largest city in the country, against a weaker opponent, the easiest road game for our...

    OT: I want to congratulate my 22-year-old niece Elise Parisi for becoming the new Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at FDU Florham.

    Congrats to Elise and to FDU! She just graduated from rival and neighbor Drew. The AD at FDU at least heard of her many times over the past several years.

    Home Opener

    Well, it’s entertainment first of all. Last years team was painful to watch, even when they won. The year before that, not so much fun to watch, especially the 2nd half. I will be very excited if the team is easy to root for, fun to watch, and competitive in most games, even if we finish 14th...

    Home Opener

    The sky is falling! If I’ve learned anything from following sports for many decades, it’s that when popular opinion says something will happen, it’s often doesn’t. Go back to Pike’s 1st and 2nd year, even those teams were fun to watch and easy to cheer on. I believe 2025-2026 version will at...

    JWill to Georgetown

    When I saw his list of potential landing spots for next year and RU was on this list….i was concerned. He wouldn’t be a net positive at RU this coming season. Good chance he’s a net positive at GTown. My guess is he will be average at an average GTown team.

    Get me a Combo Guard and we’re Good to Go

    So what’s the consensus? Are we adding another player that is a good shooter, likely to play 20+ mpg?

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

    And this is seemingly the only comparison that matters. A highly recruited smallish freshmen OR a slightly talller version that’s 2 years older and has been at 2 high level college programs (but who has been a total bust to this point). This is like playing would you rather…. drool all day or...

    OT: Did any of you ever see a game at West Virginia?

    Yes I have. Big games yes it’s worth it. Backyard brawl is there this year and it’s definitely worth it.

    OT: Former record-setting Rutgers recruit Gavin Griffiths transfers to 3rd school in as many years

    I’m just saying, he went out of his way to say that he wasnt going to transfer, even when things got tough. Then things quickly got tough and he immediately transferred….. to another Big Ten school. I’m not trying to hate on him but I am calling him out on what’s true. I expect to see 1 Temple...

    OT: Former record-setting Rutgers recruit Gavin Griffiths transfers to 3rd school in as many years

    Hmmm, I don’t think that’s true at RU. It might have been but I think we would have happily kept him as a reserve for cheap NIL.

    OT: Former record-setting Rutgers recruit Gavin Griffiths transfers to 3rd school in as many years

    I’m never going to transfer. Ever. No matter how hard it gets. That’s just not who I am. (Pretty close paraphrase of his comments just over 2 years ago).

    Carino Pod: good listen

    Oof. Depressing. Sad. Sobering. About the overall state of college athletics and our spot in the pecking order. I’m VERY interested to see if our new president appears to be interested in elevating athletics at this university. If interested, it will require a strong effort to go against decades...

    Transfer Portal Targets

    I’ve been reserving judgment but if we finish this portal cycle and 2025-2026 roster at C only involve those on the current roster + the highly regarded freshmen who decommitted from MN…, we’re cooked! Experienced true center or bust!
