Basketball Rutgers Basketball forward Denis Badalau enters Transfer Portal

Glad I don’t have to watch him anymore.

Buh bye

Two words…..cement shoes

I gotta catch a game in that Italian league this guy played in before he came here.
Maybe there's some other talent there that we can bring over here.

Where these guys ultimately land will be a further indictment of our inability to recruit.

Or more of an indictment of NIL. As if you needed any.

Amazingly he was a starter early in the season. After Pike finally gave up on him, he spent the rest of the season developing callouses on his butt. So weird!

Well we stunk early at D so maybe against our D he was hitting shots. Who knows.

That was crazy, a massive WTF. Anyone who watched him could quickly see that he had old man Rec league type of athleticism, incredibly slow moving on both ends of the floor. He would have had to have been a lights out shooter from deep to compensate for his other issues, we know that didn’t happen as he was 21% from three. Putting him on the roster was probably out of necessity due to limited budget and inability to afford others, but starting him for that stretch was a massive, self-inflicted whiff by Pike. It’s been said on the boards repeatedly regarding our two Euros that typically Euros are skilled players, but it was amazing the two Euros we picked were so lacking in skills. You get what you pay for. Hopefully this go round with a GM and increased NIL budget means we don’t have to search and shop as much from the bargain bin.
