    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Lino’s upside on offense is off the charts given how quick and athletic he is. He was obviously needs to make more shots than he did in the exhibition game, but having someone who will generally make the opposing teams fastest player look slow creates huge problems for defenses,

    Rebounding Shout Out

    Surprised that Gurdak missed on all his 3s in the exhibition game, last season he didn’t miss on a single 3 point attempt.

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Obviously you must be mistaken or simply imagining Powers being taken down hard given the Gentleman’s agreement not to be physical.

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Great picture, the jump ball happened so fast that even though I was at the game, I had no idea how much Gurdak outjumped Luigi until I saw that picture.

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    If he is as good at blocking shots as they say, he may be a true 5. That is 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 blocked or altered shots and 5 fouls in 5 minutes.

    KenPom 2027 preseason rankings released

    Watching Gurdak yesterday, I have to say that simply replacing Ogbole with Gurdak and keeping the six players we kept makes this team markedly better. Adding Smith, Jones, Sydnor and the rest of the players Rutgers added provides a lot of hope that Rutgers will win more than a couple of games...

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    It’s just one game and Luigi Suigo may be overrated, but Gurdak’s exhibition game was impressive. According to early big boards, such as NBA Draft Room and Tankathon, Luigi Suigo (who Gurdak matched up against) is ranked as the number 1 center and a projected lottery pick in the 2027 NBA draft...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball falls to Villanova 77-75 in its first scrimmage

    Sitting near some Villanova fans. They commented that 2 is a really good player. Have to agree! Ware looks much better than last season!

    B1G media preseason poll

    In fairness to the media, last year we lost Ace and Dylan from a team that wasn’t very good. How high would you expect them to rank us. This year we look like we improved but Pikiel is battling cancer, again how high should they pick us with an unproven assistant coach taking over on an...

    BB Recruiting Four-Star Forward Brandon Woodard commits to Rutgers Basketball

    Ace and Dylan were as good as am advertised when healthy. Unfortunately, there wasn’t really much besides the two of them. When they were out the team really struggled. These recruits are good players to get and it’s positive to note that the team isn’t looking to them to immediately turn...

    B1G media preseason poll

    Given that they only picked Penn State below Rutgers, I would say Rutgers has a really good chance of finishing higher than it was picked this season too.

    Greg Knows...

    Could be absolutely fantastic seasons for MBB and WBB and other teams if football funding went to other sports. Then there can be a renewed focus on football once Rutgers hires a new coach.

    Basketball Tip-Off Times / TV Designations for Rutgers Basketball

    Much easier since I retired, but traffic is still an issue. Have to say that working was really quite inconvenient.

    B1G media preseason poll

    With an unproven assistant coach taking over when Pikiel is not available 17th isn’t unfair. Rutgers has a lot of players who excelled against lower level competition so it really comes down to whether those skills translate like they did for Francis or only are truly effective against lower...

    Team photo day

    Two things seem apparent from the team photo. Sydnor bulked up a lot since the first game of his freshman year when he was manhandled by Derik Queen of Maryland. Gurdak’s listed height of 6’10” is probably the most inflated height on the team. My confidence going into the season as a result...
