    Sixers fans and opinions on taking Ace Bailey at #3

    The team he lands with will either make or break him. He desperately needs molding in an organization with stability and patience. He's still very skinny, has bad shot selection, and is inconsistent even for his age. You can tell he hustles and does whatever it takes to win but he can also get...

    Sad commentary on college basketball

    This is the real problem with Pike. He still wants to run a mostly developmental program while the game has moved on from that model. He's gotta take the lead on fundraising and not let the lack of NIL be an excuse. Sure go ahead and develop a few core guys but he needs money to keep them or...

    Football Robb Smith set to return as Co-DC / Play Caller

    Like I said on the previous hiring thread, this seems like a plan Z situation. Can’t say I understand how we got to this point or what kind of results to expect but hope Schiano can make it work for a season.

    Football Rutgers set to add JMU LBs coach as Co-Defensive Coordinator

    What the heck is going on here? He’s barely qualified to be a P4 position coach. We’ve gotta be on plan Z right now.

    OT: Wimsatt in the portal

    He is what he is at this point. His accuracy isn't gonna be any better in a lesser conference so gotta go to a run heavy option offense. I was also a GT grad student in the Paul Johnson triple option years and he would've been awesome there. They only threw like 10 times a game but it was fun as...

    $9 tickets available for tonight's game

    Plenty of reasons for this including those already mentioned but nobody's said anything about how it's an undesirable matchup on a Monday night so it's going to be one of the easiest games for legit season ticket holders to get rid of.

    Lathan Sommerville/Rashod Kent

    He's rough around the edges and needs a lot of polish to be effective against elite competition but that's also why he's not a 5 star. He also looks nothing like the 275 he was listed at so he definitely got lean and probably still adjusting to his new frame. Hopefully he'll pack on muscle over...

    RAPID REACTION — St. Peter’s

    The refs were horrendous and so was our 1st half defense. We can control one of these things and that needs to happen fast or it'll sink our season.

    BAC - if your recap title isn't "See ya Ogbole, hello Lathan"....

    I think he's ahead of schedule. I remember the summer speculation was he needs time to develop before getting serious minutes later in the season. At the very least, he looks like he belongs on the court physically and mentally. He generally knows what he's doing within the team game and he's...

    4-0 is the dream start to the season

    4-0 and is 4-0 and we'd all sign up for this at the beginning of the season. However, I think we all know we need to improve a lot if we're gonna keep it rolling. We're not even close to putting together 4 strong quarters and playing up to our potential. Do that and we're ranked.

    My Thoughts.

    First real opponent and we won which is good. VT was successful selling out against the run which is bad. We won because Kaliakmanis was able to be accurate and exploit what he was given. If he keeps that up then teams won't be able to focus on only the running game.

    Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Howard

    Just got home for the KM td. It's not horrible to have a slow start in the 1st game if we close it out looking like we should. I don't care how good Howard was last year... if we want to be taken seriously as B1G team, we gotta blow them out. Lfg and elevate our game.

    FB Recruiting Rutgers Football lands Minnesota QB Athan Kaliakmanis and WR Dino Kaliakmanis

    Comparing stats in NCAA doesn’t necessarily work because there’s much less parity than in pro sports. No way we can say which QB is better when they’ve both performed poorly. It’ll get sorted out in camp.

    Football Rutgers Football DB Max Melton declares for 2024 NFL Draft

    I saw a few draft analysts last summer predicting his rise into the late 1st round. That's not gonna happen but he's already played 4 years so absolutely lock it in if he gets the 3rd/4th round projection that most analyst have him in now.

    Rapid Reaction - Illinois

    We missed so many shots around the rim while Illinois converted. Maybe it's just a bad day or maybe our the talent just isn't there.
