2020 vs 2021 roster

[jerzeyguy]

Which team do you think is stronger. Obviously 21 isn't set yet. But will add Blakes, Gak & Jones for fun

2020

Pg. (Sr)Geo, (So) Mulchay
Sg. (Jr) Mathis , (Sr) Young
Sf. (Jr) McConnell, ( Fr) Palmquist
Pf. (Jr) Haper, (Fr) Mawot, (Fr) Reiber
C. (Rs) Johnson, (Fr) Cliff, (Jr) Duke

2021

Pg. (Jr) Mulchay, (Fr) Blakes
Sg. (Sr) Mathis, (Fr) Jones
Sf. (Sr) McConnell, (So) Palmqusit
Pf. (Sr) Harper, (So) Mawot, (Fr) Gak,
C. (Sr) Johnson, (So) Cliff, (So) Rieber

2020 may seem like the easy choice, but 2021 could be pretty strong itself. With the growth of a Jr point guard Mulchay - and Ron Harper, Johnson, and Cliff being beast. More development from Mathis & McConnell. What if we landed Patterson or Graham... 2021 is another dangerous RU team

 

[Degaz-RU]

2020 is stronger because of the presence of seniors Geo and Jacob - we are going to miss them ALOT.

 

[phlop87]

Agree with Degaz... Geo's leadership (and game on the line I want the ball personality) and Young's game changing Def will be hard to replace. Looking forward to the ride the next few years

Geo will leave a giant hole for a lot of reasons not just b-ball related. However, Pike is continuing to build this team and is positioning RU for continued ongoing success like we have not seen in many years. Very exciting times indeed.

What happens if it Jones and some other guys make up the 2021 class, what then as far as comparing teams?:Laughing

Definitely in terms of leadership but I can see RHJ becoming that role in 2021.

 

[RUDieHard]

I love this, we are comparing one tourney team to another! Barring any crazy setbacks, I don't see how we're not going to be a top 20 team year in an year out especially if recruiting keeps improving.

It's an exciting time to be a Rutgers basketball fan!

 

[Scarlet Shack]

This team in 2021woukd be also be dangerous and loaded

2021-2022

Mulchay/Blakes
Mathis/Jones
Patterson/Macconnell/Mag
Harper/Gak/Palmquist
Johnson/Onamuyri/Reiber

Agreed - RHJ likely takes the baton from Geo.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

If Rutgers wins the Patterson lottery, then this list means nothing.:Laughing
Keep hope alive!

Mulchay/Blakes
Mathis/Jones

Harper/Gak/Palmquist

That's the point!

Pike has already proven he can coach up players, has a good eye for talent, can coach great Team D and rebounding.

If our recruiting keeps improving & we can add a couple shooters, we will be loaded year in and year out!

Reiber is more of a PF and mawot is more of a SF

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

only known quantities in my mind are Harper, Mathis and Johnson. All others, including Mulcahy IMO, are all guesses.

It's almost like debating who would win Spiderman or Superman.

Wouldn't underestimate Mulcahy's leadership with another year under his belt.

I'm excited to see how Clift transition to D1 and the pure ball player Jone next year.

You have to lean towards 2020 with Geo & Young BUT Jones & especially Cliff SHOULD really make a BIG jump from fresh to soph...Especially Cliff on the offensive side...Going to be awesome to watch !!!
