Basketball Antonia Bates plans to enter the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Not sure where those 2 points are going to come from.
all she did for this team over the last 4 years you sound ignorant
Ignorant comment from someone who probably never watched a wbb game. Way to crap on a 4 year player.
That’s why we got a new one. He’s clearly cleaning house. Smart move.
Yes, within hours of his hire, before he’s even stepped foot on campus, he’s already told athletes to leave. Makes a ton of sense
Common occurrence when a new regime takes over..
Sometimes the players decided to leave on their own, other times they take the hint that comes in a round about way and leave before being asked .
Bates, in my opinion, felt her playing time would be far less and decided to look for a program she could start.
I doubt NIL money was involved

Nice team player but limited talent
She needs to play at a lower level and I expect her to land at a certain school in PA - in the Philly area !

interesting take . With the ball in her hands sophomore year . she was 8th in the Big Ten for Assists , 3rd in the big Ten for Blocks . A scout defender and excelled at that . High rebounder Stretched the floor multiple deflections , She was on the court so much because we scored more with her on . limited turnovers …. here is another tid bit … She still holds a Rutgers offer
Limited talent is funny
Yep. He’s already sent out offers. You clearly don’t understand college athletics. Or athletics at all. #TheaterKid
I'm fully aware of how college athletics works, particularly WBB as I've talked to multiple people in and around the program today. The tough guy act doesn't really work here. I thought you said months ago that you were quitting this board?
I resigned my premium membership, as I said.
You talked to no one lol. You have zero connections. Redus couldn’t have possibly done roster management, but had time for you lol. Always the liar.
Not surprised you are a wBB fan though.
Strange, I only sent that message two hours ago but I don't think I said that I talked to him? I feel like I would have remembered if I did. But hey, who knows, it's not like messages last forever or anything.
"Resigned" your membership. Your arrogance is palpable through the screen.
Not surprised that you're trying to pass yourself off as an expert on a program you know nothing about.

Apparently I know more than you. Admittedly not saying much.
if you saw her play at Rutgers Prep you knew this level wasn't for her
She was a big part of the reason they were state Champions . I wonder when the last time you played at any level in college or were recruited by College coaches . People are recruited to a team for all different reasons not just high volume scorers .
I'd say her D was B1G level, it was her O that wasn't and why she wasn't starter material.
She would have been a help for Redus as a bench player put in for defensive purposes, but her time on the floor would hinder the offense in my opinion.
Bates does need to find a program at a lower level if she wants to be a starter.
At the top level, Antonia needs to find an offensive powerhouse that can afford to give her minutes to shore up their D.
Rutgers can't afford to do that.
. she has a high basketball ball IQ and was Played alot because we scored more with her on the floor thats a fact . low turn over rate as well . She was originally brought in by Coach stringer as a point guard because of her passing abilities and running the offense and being able to get rebounds and stretch the floor . At Her 4 years spent at RU she was used as a 1-5 because she is so versatile. So do anything to help the team , what the team needed which put her own needs and development on the offensive end scoring wise on the back burner so to speak . Wasnt developed enough in that area for sure . Right system a system that moves the ball would look much different .
First quarter she was on the ball wasn’t invisible until they took her off the ball . The average basketball “ fan “ doesn’t realize those things . The things she did to help them to win all year defensively were some of the reasons they haven’t gotten that far even in years after she was able to guard the 1-5 . Again she was used semi final game to win states i believe she was on the ball and able to showcase what she can do when she can put the ball on the floor … Klingers words exactly
