    The original post is what I have been preaching for a long time the roster issues have started with a bad Run of high school recruiting … and, candidly, I am beside myself that we Only gave out one scholarship this last cycle (Wooten) and didn’t have a plan B for the front court when Adkins...

    NIL and Recruiting

    Bac i don’t know what will happen for this coming year but what I hear is that we are going to see a massive inflation from last year . Lot of schools that were behind last year are getting “mobilized”…(including us to an extent). There will be a larger pool of money to spend by the power...

    We are deluding ourselves

    Let’s see if my comments are moving the goalposts ….or if perhaps the numbers are moving up still like I suggest …in about 60-90 days when the portal season over and we have a roster established for next year Do NOT label me as a Pike supporter. I am a Rutgers basketball supporter …and for...
