Coach Pikiell

I love when Coach Pikiell went this line up off Corey Sanders, Nigel Johnson, Mike Williams, Eugene Omoruyi & CJ Gettys or Candido Sa.

Williams actually shut down Scott when he went to that lineup. He got all his points at the foul line at the end

Eugene will get more playing time as the season goes on.

I think he will go by how each game dictates but he has options!!

Williams really did a great job on Scott. Not sure how Scott has been doing, but he has a sweet stroke.

I was thinking at some point he was going to put Thiam on Scott. Thiam was guarding this 5-10 kid for extended periods of time. He was doing a pretty good job and I thought his length might bother Scott.

I think we can put to rest the questions about Thiam as a perimeter defender at 6'9. He was on a quick 5'10 guard at times and had the lateral quickness to stay in front of him.

Props to @Russ Wood During the coaching search he was the first guy I saw mention Pikiell as a good candidate for Rutgers, even while we all were pushing for bigger names. I think Russ had him as his # 1 or # 2 coach that Rutgers should go after.....maybe the Providence coach was his first choice.

Thanks. Coach Pikiell was they guy I felt was the best realistic choice for Rutgers. Glad the team is having early season success.

Although, at one point in the process, a couple of my sources told me that Pikiell-to-Rutgers was unlikely to happen and I posted that on this board. Clearly they...and as a result I...were wrong about that.

Strange, my finders fee check has not been sent by the RU athletic director yet lol

Russ: How much is the fee? I'm sure a few of us could chip in. And maybe even an bonus!
