2023 Target Dennis Parker, Jr.

[PointGuardEyes]

6'7" wing Dennis Parker, Jr. out of John Marshall High School in Richmond, VA is ranked as highly as 28th in the class of 2023 (On3). Rutgers has offered.

He's received offers from the likes of NC State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Maryland, TCU, LSU, Ole Miss, Xavier, and others. Obviously, with the recent coaching changes, there will need to be some reaffirmed interests/offers in other places. Parker has said that he doesn’t plan on making a decision until early 2023.

Doubt we have a shot with that list.

Why can't we compete as a basketball destination. Up and coming big 10 program. 4th place finish. Well liked coach...

And great home court and fine new facilities

I'm leaving the $$ stuff that I know nothing about out of it.

 

[bradentank33]

We might not get him but for 2024 we can have a really good class.... at the moment we have the lead for Dylan harper most likely and Nass Cunningham really likes ru plus harper and Nass are friends

Naas Cunningham is not coming to Rutgers. Dylan Harper is probably not coming to Rutgers. Let it go.

I get it. Still think we have a self loathing fan base

Why would Rutgers give up on recruiting Dylan? "Let it go" loll embarrassinggg and just an awful idea

One of the worst takes on a board filled with terrible ones

There is a reason that this is posted on this board by a new poster, now.

I don't know what that is, but looks like marketing to me.

If he fits, let's go get him.

His username is the same as the Twitter and website name. Very smart marketing idea since the only people that will see the post are basketball fans.

Rutgers has offered the post says so it is relevant on this board although not sure if he has any interest

Let it go so he can move forward with the “Pike can’t recruit” takes

I guess. These people are miserable.

If Rutgers gives up on Dylan then they might as well never attempt to recruit a top player ever again

Doesn't mean he comes here, but there is beyond zero reason to "let it go" at this point

What type of fan would even suggest that? Wild

I personally think we have a good shot with him. Not so much with Cunningham but if it’s not taking away from other prospects then why not try? We got him to the Purdue game IIRC.

Where did I say Rutgers should give up recruiting Dylan? I am saying fans should let it go. Holding on hope will only make the moment he declares he is headed for a blue blood hurt more.

Really we should just stop watching the games entirely imo. After all, it will just inevitably end in disappointment when we don’t win the championship.

If you make a national championship the sole goal, then yes, it will end in disappointment. Similarly, if you think Dylan Harper is a realistic get on the trail, it will end in disappointment.

So let’s avoid doing anything that could end in disappointment? Way to reach for the stars!!! It’s like telling my kid not to play baseball because you might strike out.

How do you know?

We'll give it our best....and then hope for the best.

Yeah, we should have never tried to get Cliff either based on your take. No way we can get anyone with good offers. So called fans complain we don’t try for top players. Other so called fans complain we are wasting our time when we do.

Real fans don’t count the chickens before they hatch.

 

[RUJMM78]

Recruiting is a results oriented activity.Teams decide which players meet the needs of the program and they offer scholarships..Competition for the player along with location, conference affiliation and recent success are factors in decision making.Its rather obvious the higher rated recruits will be the most difficult to attract .because of the competition from blue blood programs.Programs at Rutgers level must continue to recruit those players as shown by getting Cliff.It takes hard work by the coaching staff with constant communication with the recruit to to ultimately win recruiting battles.New Jersey is a hot bed for elite talent and it only takes one such recruit per year to build a program that can sustain success at the highest level of competition.

That's probably the most realistic assessment of the situation.

Again, where did I say Rutgers should stop pursuing these kids? Show me where I said that.

Just pointing out an example that I’m sure you said we had no chance with: Cliff. Pike doesn’t always strike out as many seem to believe.

Outside of Cliff, name another top 100 kid he signed.

We sucked until 3 years ago. Gotta get one before you get two.

 

[Scangg]

All reports say we are doing very well with Dylan.

- He's from NJ
- Doesn't need to chase a bag of cash
- Brother went to Rutgers and had a great experience, tons of success and raves about Pike
- Been around the program for years and has a comfort level
- Experienced 1st hand the RAC at peak awesomeness


"Let it go" what a sad sorry mindset

 

[RUInsanityToo]

So does that mean that if Dylan comes to RU you will be dissapointed? Or more likely you will just move on to your next target for the world to know why everyone should be dissapointed in Pike ahead of something happening. How about you just go find someplace to take solace from the dissapointment you feel about RU basketball?

If Dylan comes to Rutgers, I will happily eat my words. That would be a program changer.

Why not just wait and see what happens instead?

 

[Scangg]

We are currently in the lead in his recruitment. It could change, sure. He could end up a blue blood, sure. Pretending that him coming here is unrealistic when all evidence points to the contrary doesn't make any sense. You're being a downer for the sake of being a downer. Save that take for the other top NJ recruits that we aren't in the mix for... not the one we have a great chance at landing

 

[bowlgoal]

Right now the focus has to be on next season. I really want to know who is visiting and potentially close to commiting to Rutgers. I’m not saying I thought Curbelo was coming here, but it’s sad to see him end up at St. John’s.

Naas Cunningham is not coming to Rutgers. Dylan Harper is probably not coming to Rutgers. Let it go.

Dude you suck.

Many people said the same thing about Cliff. A lot of the same BS.

 

[RUJMM78]

ite recruits have You're leaving out the reason

An alternative reason is that perceived elite recruits have interest from schools that have more cache than Rutgers based on far more years of success.Villanova is a example of great success without paying players and Virginia probably is another school .
