    Don't look now but 9 game RAC winning streak

    Curious ... what's Rutgers' most recent longest winning streak larger than this one, and when did it happen?

    Sagarin and wrap up of Nonconference slate

    If Rutgers wins 17 or more games this year and gets to the NIT, Pikiell would have to be in the conversation for not only BIG COY, but national COY. A potential 10-win increase? That's insane for anywhere, let alone Rutgers. Really enjoying seeing this team WIN again, regardless of who it's...

    Oral History 2003-04 Part III

    These were great to read and reminisce. Thanks Dave. It was fun to harken back to the days when being a Rutgers basketball fan mattered. I was at every home game and every NIT game that year, as well as several road games. I remember destroying my radio on Collins' tip-in in Blacksburg. Oh to be...

    Steve Pikiell making a big splash at Rutgers

    I am extremely impressed as well. I was very skeptical of this hire at first, but literally everything he has done since coming here has been the right call. It remains to be seen whether this all will translate to wins on the court and NCAA tournament berths, since this is Rutgers and...

    .500 in 2016-17? Please convince me.

    This is ridiculous. Come on people. Get real. If Rutgers goes .500 next year, we should erect a statue of Pikiell. Every time we get a new coach or new recruit, this same rhetoric comes up. We are not going .500 next year. What we need to see is legitimate improvement on the court, in the weight...

    Dan Rickard

    Robinson would be an excellent get as a No. 1 assistant. He did better at Oregon State than people give him credit for.

    Donyell Marshall NOT hired as an assistant

    Oh, well then that's actually kind of funny. Still, I'll stand by what I said: Sanders should not be dictating the future of this program in any way outside of on the court.

    Bryan Dougher Also On Board

    This would be a good get as a DOBO. Jerry has followed Dougher a lot over the years. Listen to what he says.

    Donyell Marshall NOT hired as an assistant

    Is no one going to address this? Can anyone verify this? If so, that's twice this week Sanders has apparently tried to dictate things. I don't care how good he is or important he is to the program, if he's doing this kind of stuff, show him the door.

    An interesting re-tweet from Corey Sanders

    If Sanders is anything but 100 percent behind this going forward, he should leave and no one should be sad about him leaving. That said, I hope he is 100 percent behind the process with or without Vetrone and stays.

    Donyell Marshall NOT hired as an assistant

    Is this official? If so, this is a FANASTIC first splash for the coaching staff. Love it.

    $220K Increase for the Assistant Pool

    So it went up from 580,000 to 800,000? We really only allocated 580,000 for assistants before? Add that to the long list of reasons we've failed so badly. The increase is great and will help, but something tells me that's still not enough -- at least not enough to compete with the type of...

    I do not care if assistants stay or not

    I've been reading all of the assistants threads the past few days, and I've come to the conclusion that we need to do what any big-time program would do when they start over -- START OVER! Clean house. Entirely. We must be the only program in the country who has had assistants span 3-4 regimes...

    Did Hobbs overpay?

    This is an interesting question, but in light of what TCU just shelled out to get Jamie Dixon, I would have to say that Hobbs did not overpay in general. The better question is, did Hobbs overpay for what he got? Only time will tell. Pikiell has an enormous job in front of him.

    I'll take the experts' views on the hire....

    Herb Sendek and Travis Ford are the two I would have been most for. I didn't want any part of Lonergan, Masiello or Boyle.
