    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    He is a better fit as a 4 at a lower level conference where he won’t be overmatched.

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    Actually his Big ten stats support what you saw with your own eyes.

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    Dylan Grant feasted on OOC opponents this last season while the season before his OOC play was horrendous. Looking at Big Ten play only, his overall fg% dropped dramatically from 48% to 40%, while his 3pt fg% dropped from an anemic 25% to 24% and his rebounding dropped from 3.7 rebounds per...

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    Sure, just like Dylan Grant! But all kidding aside he should be better with another year’s experience and a system that fits his skills better.

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    Coaching does matter, which is why Rutgers was able to win 7 Big Ten games with a budget 1/3 the amount of many of the other Big Ten teams relying on a starting center that should at most have been a backup and an extremely young team with 7 freshmen. Looking forward to seeing how he does this...

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    If Nwuli is a starter at Seton Hall, that early in the season, Nwuli will need to be a completely different player than he was at Rutgers or Seton Hall will have to be hurting for big athletic players. Nwuli has skills, but he didn’t finish well around the basket, he fouled a lot, and he didn’t...

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    At 7’2” Buca is literally a big upgrade over Dortch who was shoved around by some of the bigger centers in the Big Ten. That being said after watching Buca play limited minutes at center vs Indiana last year, his game looks like it needs work. I did like how Buca didn’t even consider jumping...

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    We will see if Seton Hall is an above average team. They had 11 players transfer out. Will be interesting to see what they put together.

    Chris Nwuli to Seton Hall

    He is definitely very athletic with a ton of potential. Would have been a good player to keep as a backup. Will need to make a big jump if he is to play meaningful minutes at Seton Hall. Made some great plays at Rutgers showing his potential alongside quite a number of boneheaded plays. Also...

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    Very compelling argument as to why Ogbole shouldn’t be a starter in the Big Ten. Amazing that Rutgers was able to win 7 Big Ten games without an adequate center. The center position will likely be the most improved position on next year’s team. As for whether he would have been a better...

    Basketball Players Era expands to 24, moves Rutgers into eight-team bracket

    Not sure how the algorithms take into account a player like Lino Mark whose shooting was horrendous at the beginning of the season, but quite good at the end. On average it’s not that great, but if we were seeing real improvement, the stats from the end of year probably are a better barometer...

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    It is unlikely he will get another year of eligibility so his situation is likely why there will be zero interest. Ogbole has the size and athleticism of a Big Ten center so one of the other 17 coaches might have taken a chance, but given his situation, it would be foolish for them to go after him.

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    Part of it may have been the matchup and UNLV’s defensive scheme. Part of it was that he was clearly confident and on a roll that day. Sadly that game was an anomaly for him.

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    This reminds me of all the times I would hear on a TKR podcast how good Ogbole was defensively and how we needed to play him more. Okay, that probably never happened, but it does suggest that we got ourselves somewhat of a defensive specialist who could be a good change of pace guy that...

    Steve Pikiell Podcast: 2026 Transfer Portal Update

    They talked about the roster, but didn’t mention Duarte and although his name was mentioned once. Pikiel didn’t talk about Buca.
