Good luck Joiya! If/when Eatman goes the recruitment of all these kids from Alabama should cease. Major culture shock to come to NJ from Bama.
Here we go with the portal boom, round two. Hope it doesn't do too much damage to us. Joyia will be missed.
Too bad it didn't work out for her. I thought she could have been a solid role player for us down the stretch of this season if used correctly. She showed what she had to offer in that somewhat of a break-out game where she was forced into duty and found her shot, scoring about 12 points in the fourth quarter. Sadly, Tim decided to bury her on the bench from that point on.
Can't blame her for wanting a fresh start. She also would have had to share a lot of her playing time next year with the new incoming recruits, Smikle, in particular.
Totally agree that there is likely plenty of culture shock/homesickness for some of our Southern recruits. None of our recent Alabama recruits made it for 4 years.

We need to get the coaching situation resolved now or the next few years will be a disaster.

The cratering of the program, if it weren’t so sad, is frankly impressive…it really does not matter if cvs comes back or not…until a complete re-do is accomplished, we are done.
Remarkable.
Remarkable.
Today is THURSDAY ! I am usually all in with Pat, but he should have made the announcement by now. I know we can’t officially contact coaches who are in the tournament, but at least make it known to the whole country so coaches agents can gauge interest.
I have two thoughts about why we haven’t heard anything yet.
1. He didn’t want the attention from Stringers retirement to overshadow the MBB game (media).
2. She will be the coach for upcoming basketball season.
It’s hard to get rid a Black HOF coach who is praised by virtually everyone (media). Its becomes even harder when she wasn’t on the bench coaching this year.

As I have said elsewhere, it is hard to get rid of a HOF coach, regardless of race, without being able to prove your hire is an upgrade. Like others, I lament that Rutgers is not the team it used to be, but excluding this season, there have been winning records, postseason appearances and some really good recruits. The records may be misleading as the post-seasons have had poor results, but you need to show in your hire that you are expecting deep post season runs. It is clear that Rutgers administration has not made that commitment. It has been north of 10 years since we had a deep post-season run unless you count the WNIT.
As to the coach being praised, I praise her. Great person, great coach, great pioneer. It doesn't mean I don't think Rutgers should move on. I haven't noticed media writing articles praising her, but if so, well, you can't stop them.
Yes, you cannot "blame" her for this season's result as regards making a move (especially if the leave was RU approved and presumably they know details we don't). Obviously, if she wasn't on leave results would likely have been better (I'm not saying to what degree). Equally, if there is a reason to think that she cannot return to daily coaching, then, well, that would be a reason for retirement.
If you listened to the podcast interview it was clear Hobbs can’t do anything. It’s in HR and CViv hands.
What podcast? And if it is actual CVS, and HR minus Hobbs, reality is she is probably on long term disability.
There was a podcast interview withHobbs last week. Great listens. Last 5 minutes he spoke about cviv.
