Geo's legacy
- Thread starter RUfanSinceAnderson

Sporatically Spectacular.
I was tracking his stats every game last year and the good game win bad game loss was so apparently.
You are right. Next game matters. Big time.

Geo is one of my favorites, but if they miss the tourney this year... his time here is a big fat disappointment. He talks the talk, but they need to walk the walk. Go beat Minnesota this weekend and get to the dance.
following a Ricky Shields type career, excellent junior season and then just so up and down inconsistent with a few good games and several no shows and supposed friction with Douby
Geo is what he is. This board overrates him so much that if you talk about him realistically you get attacked.
He’s a career 11/3/3 guy who hasn’t averaged over 12.x a game. He’s gone for 20 9x out of 120 games. He’s never been top 3 of the starters in field goal percentage on any Rutgers team he’s played on. If you include anyone who’s played more than 50 minutes he’s 11th 9th 7th 5th on roster in field goal percentage.
He has only one career game winning shot. Against a bad Nebraska team we should’ve handled. He hit a 3 to force OT against a bad northwestern team. Is he more myth than legend? Idk if I’ll go there but the argument can be made.
When he is scoring, he’s a good glue guy, that can make up for his below average big ten guard athleticism.
That’s all to say, we desperately need the good Geo for this Rutgers team to be successful, because what’s behind him isn’t that great either.

This is what everybody was saying that was shouted down last week. He’s great sometimes and the just disappears. The high and lows with him and Harper are insane.
he certainly hasn’t been a leader this year and it’s disappointing that his play has regressed too.
He’s been hurt. Not explosive like we saw the end of last year. A disappointing end of his career to be sure.
Inconsistent performances are the best words to describe Baker and most players on the team.Young has been the most consistent double digit scorer.
The last two games are a good recap of the season.Harper and Baker both scored over twenty points against Indiana and the team scored over seventy points.Against Nebraska Harper and Baker failed to even score twenty points combined and the team was lucky to even score fifty points.No consistency in performance in a game that had monumental impact on post season play.
I’ll remember him as the most clutch player in Rutgers basketball history.
Some of you either have very short term memories or don’t watch as much as you post.

Absolutely. Close game on the line he's the guy. But its easy to remember the highlights.
If we don’t make the tournament , his time here goes down as a failure . Same class as douby and Geoff billet . Although douby was a much better player and billet has the better signature moment.
Baker’s supporting cast is better than both the guys had . Team just needs to get to tournament

His legacy will largely come down to whether or not we break the streak.
Sorry , “change”’needs to be quantified and measured at some point. Make the tournament or don’t . Simple as that.
I think we gotta get into the tournament for Geo's legacy to be all it could be.
I just don't get this Senior year by him. And yeah, I know he was hurt but that was long ago. In 20 games and 30 mins per game he has only been to the foul line 22 times! He is 29 of 94 for 31% from three. But he's 50 of 99 for 50% from inside the line. Never seems to go hard to the basket anymore either.
What is he thinking? Worried about getting hurt again?

Sure there was no tournament last year. But does that mean we discount what Geo did down the stretch? We passed the test last year and Geo was a huge part of that. I don't think Covid should penalize the accomplishments last year. To say Geo and RU didn't make the tournament last year, while literally correct, it totally negates their accomplishments.
This year is yet to be determined.

I don’t think anyone is really discounting what Geo did last year. It’s more about putting what what did in context. For example, Maryland and Purdue last year:
Geo in 73 minutes
30 pts 48% FG 7asst 4to 8reb 2 stl 1 block
Young in 60 minutes
27 pts 57% FG 5asst 2to 6reb 3stl 0 block
He’s lauded for NW last year he went off 10-17 25 pts shot to force OT. Played a great game.
Nebraska GW 2 of 8 6 pts 2 TO 3 Asst
