Looking at next seasons roster
- Thread starter psujejr_rivals176007
- Start date
I think only Caleb is out of eligibility.
Caleb is gone - Griffith takes his spot.
I’m not sure if we have one open scholly or if we have to open two.
If it’s two.
Terry prob goes back to being a walk on and one of jalen Dean Oskar gets the “talk”.
Unless cliff goes to G league or overseas but I think he stays one more

Every kids wants to play. I’m sure a few will transfer for that reason.
This Assumes Paul and Cliff come back. But I think they both will. We have a chance next year at a deep run in the tourney. Why pass that up.
I’d be shocked if paul doesn’t come back. Cliff is probably closer to 50/50 and depends on what kind of NIL deal we can get him.
Mulcahy already has a degree from Rutgers .He is working on a Masters degree.Cliff is a junior with another year of eligibility taking a engineering curriculum.Fans want both to return but nobody including coaching staff knows their future plans.
Imagine going to play your company basketball team vs IBM and seeing Myles Johnson & Cliff trot out on the layup line.
Paul could have his doctorate and he’d still be coming back
Could be misremembering but I thought I remember reading Cliff is on track to finish his degree this year.
I thought Cliff isn't eligible for NIL since he's here on a visa?
I worked with a guy who played on Penn states basketball team. Dude was like 6’10. We hung a picture above his desk of draymond Greene when he was at Michigan state dunking on him. Added a nice little caption to it as well. He was a good sport.
If everyone stays, Next years team may start out in top 25...On paper we are loaded and should be a legit threat in the Big and the Tourney..
Cliff
Mag
Hyatt
Cam
Mulchay
Reserves
Gavin
Simpson
Wolf
Dean
Ndongo
Chol
Jamicheal Davis
Palmquist
Maybe a few guys transfer...Or we bring one in....who knows

Is the "talk" a real thing? I can't believe a coach, especially Pike, would try to convince a kid to transfer out. After recruiting, developing, and supporting the kid on and off the court, the "talk" would be pretty outrageous to me as a player, a parent, and I'm sure that word would get out that the coach would cut you loose if he recruited over you.
If Gavin is as good as some expect, he’s likely starting next year with Mag or Hyatt to the bench?
One replaces Caleb.
And then the next year with Ace and Dylan coming in and starting. We are rapidly approaching over recruiting bench players and bringing in immediate starters each year.
5 star Top 20 recruit Gavin is coming off the bench?
I’ll believe it when I see it.
If he defends, he'll start. Pike isn't starting anyone on day 1 unless they're ready on the defensive side.

Until I guy shows me he can defend high screen or get out on shooters I only use #2 pencils with a full eraser.
If Mag is healthy he starts. Period. If Cliff and Paul and Cam are here they start.
That does leave one open spot for a player who has the skill set that Gavin has on paper.

Pike seemed pretty proud of the fact that everyone came back this year and that RU was one of the few programs not to have anyone transfer out. If only Caleb leaves, aren't we one over at this point even assuming Terry is not on scholarship next year? I think the list above is missing Miller.
I don’t think Pike will try to tell a player they need to leave, but he likely will be having honest conversations with a couple players about how they are unlikely to see regular minutes and if that is what they are looking for he would support their decision to look for other options
I can't imagine Mag isn't a starter. Caleb is leaving, and if Mag went to the bench, the defense will take a massive hit
Paul Cam Gavin Mag Cliff would be a very very dangerous team
Simpson and Davis backing up the guards
Hyatt Chol Ndongo wings
Wolf and Dean bigs
Miller and Oskar at the end of the bench if they remain
Pike has said many times, “We play the best, and we are fair to the rest.”
100% a real thing.
Some coaches are prob more ruthless then others.
But let’s use Oskar for example. Take away the Minnesota game. He’s done nothing in what 3 years. He is going to graduate (I think). I don’t think pike will flat out be like “get lost” but it would probably me more. “Listen, you’re not going to play much here and it’s your last season, if you wanna get more PT, going down a level might help”
Really? I can't imagine a coach saying that. Players aren't stupid. They know where they stand regarding PT. If a coach said that to me, I'd think he thought I was an idiot.
Mag is starting next year. The guy is awesome on defense and is proving himself to be an offensive threat. He is a go to option on offense
Mag will 100% start unless he tore his acl which usually takes about a year to recover from. Justin Moore on Villanova tore his Achilles in the elite 8 last year and just came back last week. Let’s hope that’s not the case for mag.
I can't imagine coaches NOT having candid discussions with players about their role on the team and future development/prospects on the team
That would be coaching malpractice IMO
