This is great news to hear. Good job by Jonathan.

Rutgers will have a lot of guards and a lot of guys in that 6-5 to 6-7 range. I think the uptempo offense and press will be on this year. Dare I say....."Waters Pressure".

With a true PG ( freshman, with the mistakes that come with first year) the RU O should show improvement from last year's team.
Guard depth will help a fast pace game with a true PG running it have RU showing it's starting to improve.
But I don't expect next season to be a NC year with the improved offense RU will be showing .

Welcome

RU has a chance to put on a lineup that averages 6 5 next year. That is awesome.

Laurents going to be a player here when it's all said and done. Great kid.

 

[wasiman]

Great! Let us get Ellison & Freeman.

Very nice .... Laurent spurned offers from Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech and UCF to commit to Rutgers.

Welcome to the Banks Sir Laurent.

It would be tremendous if this recruiting class translates into an uptempo game. I've been praying for that for quite a while (apparently, some thought we were never 'athletic' enouhg).

Also seems like we're signing what EJ has been angling for: tall, quick, long-armed wings.
