Eugene O
- Thread starter jerzeyguy
- Start date
the Bergen Record speculated that RU would have been helped a lot this year if Eugene had stayed..... this, in reviewing the game Gene had against SHU
which brings up the question, if he had skipped playing last year with us, and came back, which player would not be on our team now, due to space ..... probably either Mag or Reiber would not be, possibly because there was no space, or one of them deciding the opportunity to play was a lot less
still of the opinion that Gene would have played last year if he remained, he would not have had the patience to sit out, when he could play

That is an interesting question (impact of Gene having a scholarship this year instead of.... ?) One year of EO as he is playing if he stays healthy plus three years of a 2021 grad versus four years of either Mag or Reiber, if that would've been the trade... but I am happy with what we have.
If Michael Jordan was born 36 years later and went to RU we’d be top 5 now
Actually we only have 12 scholarship players so we would have had room for Eugene some guys would be getting less minutes. If Eugene sat out last year and if he fit right in with the team concept we just might have been one of the top teams in the country but who knows for certain.
If we had eggs, we could have ham and eggs, if we had ham.
I’m not a Carino fan but there is no question we’d be better with Eugene...and probably Top 10...ball stopper or not. He does the dirty work and would allow Harper to play even more on the perimeter. Harper is stronger than a normal 3 and Eugene is unique as a 4. They could even flip roles and create matchup nightmares. He also becomes an enforcer that every quality team needs.
Do we need the update after every game? The shu game was interesting for obvious reasons but other than that..
Not sure what is holding us out of the top ten is 3 point shooting one more dead eye 3 point shooter and we are top ten; Eugen would certainly be a help especially with the depth issue
This may sound odd, but the fact that a top player on another good basketball program (receiving Top25 votes) is a transfer out of RU while we are a top 25 program actually helps the perception of RU Basketball.
Just feel like it needed to point out he's had two inefficient games to go along with two tremendous games.
It was Oskar. He also took another charge in an earlier game but was called a block which was a bad call IMO. Its a good sign for his willingness to defend
Eugene left because he was steered away by someone he knew from back home in Canada. Was told he was wasting his talents and time at RU.
Ahhh yes, the old - EO is the 8th best player on the roster argument.FIG, all good points, but it also can't be a coincidence that Eugene left immediately after it was announced that Yeboah was coming onboard. I don't know whether he just got his panties in a bunch or if he was worried about possibly sharing a little bit of playing time, but the way he bailed on the program was very disappointing. He looks great this year, and I appreciate that he was a warrior for RU, but I won't ever forgive him for abandoning his team...not that he's losing any sleep over what I think

You're right. 6th or 7th. Clown town.
