Ace - 33 points with only 4 dribbles
- Thread starter S_Janowski

I know Cooper Flagg is seen as the best player in the class but I just can't see how Ace Bailey isn't the #1 pick. His ceiling is unbelievable.
What makes Bailey special is that he can score from all areas. of the court.
Pike HAS to bring in someone offensive minded next year. And we need so much more talent.
Literally the only way to stop Ace will be if teams bully him next year and the refs allow it. This is where if Pike does not change his approach, he will ruin any chance we have to compete. Pike has got to start acting like a veteran BIG coach and work these refs hard. If not; he has to go
Steve better start to learn how to coach offense.
Let's wait until he plays a few games against major conference teams before we call him unstoppable.
Harper and Bailey have the skillset to create and make shots off the dribble.The problem is the rest of the roster who shoot bricks.There will be a need for a couple players from the transfer portal who can make layups and open 3 pointers.
Watch he comes to RU and suddenly can't shoot 
Pikiell is a good guy … his demeanor comes across too nice at times . Great quality but a couple more T ups and he might send a different message to not only opposing teams but refs. The guy can coach . Even Pikiell is still learning how to balance things
Pike's demeanor is the special sauce....a big part of why kids come here. I wouldn't want to play for Underwood or Izzo and have a white male screaming in my face.
This is literally the exact opposite dribbles per basket ratio of my daughters team
not a bad way of teaching offense....only 3 or 4 dribbles allowed...only caveat is to dribble at a teammate and that teammate has to go backdoor.
He's the type of player I've only dreamed of stepping onto our court wearing our jersey. No matter how the season plays out next year we should just enjoy the ride, Bailey and Harper's time on the banks will flash before our eyes.
Sure there will probably be growing pains but the ability these 2 posses is 2nd to none.

Can we keep the “ white male” reference out of the thread? You don’t like “ white male” coaches who yell? I have witnessed the exact opposite playing many sports and they weren’t white Anglo men. Coaches yell … you don’t think your statement sounds slightly dumb? I guess Schiano and others don’t yell, curse, swear , scream… lol .Does Darling Dion not yell in his players faces when they screw up?
Dribble with a purpose. Only. It’s something our current offensive scheme doesn’t seem to incorporate.
Well if Flagg is Lebronesque then Ace Bailey is my Michael Jordan 
Five star recruits have been successful at Duke,North Carolina and Kentucky.Rutgers fans are used to watching 2/3 star players who require enormous player development.The NBA scouts think very highly regarding Bailey and Harper as seen by projected draft status.
True, Yet even so a bunch of 5 stars at Duke lost at home to last place Pitt over the weekend.
Happens to every team. I don’t think anyone here is suggesting we’re going to go undefeated next year.
Duke UNC and KY surround their five stars with other four and five stars. It matters.
No but there are those calling for final 4, while I’d love it, I feel it’s expecting way too much with no supporting cast
Did you miss the Nebraska game where Cliff got hacked, Pike went looking for a tech and was all over the refs? He did exactly what you’re looking to fire our most successful coach ever for as he brings in the best class anyone could ever dream of. Clownish.
Not gonna lie. When I read it my first thought was "that's a d-bag comment". I guess it's much better to have a black male scream in your face.
This should be noted by everyone
We should win more, but there will probably be some disappointments
With all due respect
Your last comment is nuts
Without coach we don't get these two players in the first place
I ain’t gonna lie … when I first saw your reply I knew exactly you did not understand … use common sense and you will find his statement was not justifiable. It did not belong.Not gonna lie. When I read it my first thought was "that's a d-bag comment". I guess it's much better to have a black male scream in your face.
