    Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

    Overall record hides his conference records. Those are much worse. I supported him coming back as I had no confidence Hobbs would pick the right coach on his second try anfter Ash. And he didn’t deserve a second try. I believe this is GS’s ceiling. His teams havent shown can overachieve in a...

    OT: Rutgers gonna Rutgers, graduation speaker cancelled

    That's really disappointing, and yet another assault on our civil liberties and freedoms. Maybe Randy Fine or Mark Levin is available? I've met Rami a number of times. Good dude and a true Rutgers man. CEO of Arcellx he just sold to Gilead for several billion.

    Board traffic

    Let's face it, even this past season was bad, even by RU standards. In past, at least 1 sport, maybe 2, did well. We used to be known for womens hoops, mens soccer, then womens soccer, with some surprises here and there. This year, did anyone make a NCAA postseason other than wrestling? And...

    Gurdacks hands, coordination, post moves

    As much as I've been down on Pike and staff, I have to give them credit for both the CCSU wing and here for the VT center. The first one, from DR, not so much. Let's see how this plays out. Also good they kept a few from this year. It's shaping up to a rather young team though.

    Big 10 reloading, those are some impressive hauls, esp Indiana and Maryland.

    Basketball Jamichael Davis set to return next seasom

    this only works if he's no more than the 3rd guard off bench, preferably the 4th guard. if he is the lead guard again there is no point to watch the team next season

    BB Recruiting New Mexico transfer SG Lewis Duarte has signed with Rutgers

    Pike certainly doesn't get or deserve the benefit of the doubt here. All this reinforces that when Pike is fired at end of 26, we should hire a coach that is not paid in top 25 and use the budget for players. Pike is paid as a top 25 coach for what exactly?

    OT: Worn out by Rutgers sports

    Good OP and post--I have had the same thoughts for the past few weeks. It appears none of our major or Olympic sports--none--are doing very well. Put another way, what sport(s) are we known now for? It seems when RU did very well in Director Cup was an abberation and potentially explained by...

    Keepers for next year

    Hines also entered the portal...I'm sure he will be well in to 7 figures, but maybe Pikell can right a prior wrong with him....

    Keepers for next year

    Tariq is good, but he is a small, ball dominant guard...depends on how we want to play next season. Will he be better with better players around him? I am not sure. Baye is top on my list to bring here.

    Wow!

    I watched to halftime and didn't feel good about second half. The team probably felt too good coming out of Chicago, not really appreciating they beat teams below them--which you should do--and a bad Minny team. This shows they can't hang with a near .500 team. I will be interested to see if...

    Keepers for next year

    It's clear, thus far, that Pikell has not shown at all he can effectively spend whatever the amount is on roster construction and fit to his style.

    Watching NCAA Tourney shows how much of a dinosaur Pike and staff are...

    ...esp on offense. Look at the offensive production and scoring. Yes, some teams continue to play legit D, but most games are not 60-56. ...teams are also not taking the air out of the basketball when holding a lead in the 2nd half... ...teams with centers (a number of from Europe) have...

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    Based on the past several years, Pike the talent evaluator and recruiter is my biggest concern...he has a system but can't find the players to run it...so what is more money going to do?
