That’s silly… of course RU can send kids to the league… any school can if the kids good he wil get noticed.. see Ja from Murray StateIf RHJ gets drafted I think it helps our chances with Dylan. Shows RU can send recent players to the NBA.
Wasn't Jan Murray a borsch belt comedian who appeared on the Ed Sullivan show back in the 60's?That’s silly… of course RU can send kids to the league… any school can if the kids good he wil get noticed.. see Ja from Murray State
Ha those people that suggested that might be a missing some things upstairsI wonder if he becomes a one-and-done candidate and if that effects our recruiting of him.
Some here have suggested we should shy away from such players.
Shy away from investing effort in any player who is not interested. All in for anyone you really want if they at interested. One and done is not a fundamental variable.Ha those people that suggested that might be a missing some things upstairs
Kinda like you don’t go for the hottest girl at the bar …stay in your lane rutgersShy away from investing effort in any player who is not interested. All in for anyone you really want if they at interested. One and done is not a fundamental variable.
No, you go for her when you like what you see. But if you get rudeness in return find another. If you get coy disinterest, that's where the art of it all kicks in.Kinda like you don’t go for the hottest girl at the bar …stay in your lane rutgers
How would you rate rutgers art skills last 40 years ?No, you go for her when you like what you see. But if you get rudeness in return find another. If you get coy disinterest, that's where the art of it all kicks in.
Before three years ago, a “C”. Now we have three straight trips to the NCAAs, a real coach, a real AD, we are a member of the best to third best conference depending on the year, every game is on National TV, we have a brand new practice facility, an expansion of The RAC on the way, and we now recruit on a National scale. Plus that $75 million a year puts us in a whole new universe in college athletics.How would you rate rutgers art skills last 40 years ?
I wish you graded some of my high school tests …C”? No it was an “F”!! No way to sugarcoat it.Before three years ago, a “C”.

Ja being in the NBA helped Murray State recruit. @RU_SAM is right. If RHJ gets drafted I think it helps Rutgers' chances with Dylan. It also helps with other recruits.That’s silly… of course RU can send kids to the league… any school can if the kids good he wil get noticed.. see Ja from Murray State
Nope. And being a season ticketholder since 1983, I have seen it all firsthand. Were they all NCAA and NIT berths? No, but the only F years were during Littlepage and Jordan. Those days were totally miserable for the players and the fans. Compared to them, Wenzel, Rice, Bannon, and Waters were Jay Wright. Fred Hill Jr. was in his own category lol.I wish you graded some of my high school tests …C”? No it was an “F”!! No way to sugarcoat it.
But I do agree pike has done great job and lots of things going for us . Should be a B- minimum from now on
There was nothing from 1983 to 2020!! Save for a billet buzzer beater and nit run ! We had some awful teams. Who was worse than us over that stretch besides northwestern ? We were the dregs of big time college basketballNope. And being a season ticketholder since 1983, I have seen it all firsthand. Were they all NCAA and NIT berths?

We were in the NCAAs in 1983, 1989, and 1991. I never said anyone confused us with UCLA lol.There was nothing from 1983 to 2020!! Save for a billet buzzer beater and nit run !

Omg I can’t believe you would think otherwise . But the good thing is we have gotten over the hump and sky is the limit !!
We didn’t play a tournament game in 30 years! We didn’t win one in almost 40 . It was awful basketball for years. Case closed . Now let’s just enjoy the pike yearsWe were in the NCAAs in 1983, 1989, and 1991. I never said anyone confused us with UCLA lol.
Not so good...How would you rate rutgers art skills last 40 years ?
Your takes are just awfulShy away from investing effort in any player who is not interested. All in for anyone you really want if they at interested. One and done is not a fundamental variable.
Only the top 7 or 8 players are one and done candidates coming out of high school. DJ Wagner and Naas Cunningham are one and done candidates. Harper is nowhere near those guys.I wonder if he becomes a one-and-done candidate and if that effects our recruiting of him.
Some here have suggested we should shy away from such players.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Murray was a top 3 pick. Harper is on the bubble and if he gets drafted, it is late second round with an non-guaranteed contract, which is basically an invite to summer camp. That will not impact recruiting. I am not disrespecting Harper in any way and loved him as a player from Rutgers, but getting a late second round pick will not impact our recruiting.Ja being in the NBA helped Murray State recruit. @RU_SAM is right.

Kids want to get to the league. Rutgers needs to get guys into the league to help its brand become stronger with in-state prospects and outside of its region.
Getting guys to the league and having strong NIL opportunities for players is arguably more important in recruiting than winning a National Championship.
I think you mean Morant. It's not comparing apples to oranges and here is why:You are comparing apples to oranges. Murray was a top 3 pick.

We are a now a competitive Big 10 program, and we should be able to sell a a recruit on that fact that if they have the physical attributes and skills we are a good platform to get to the NBA. RHJ’s ability to make it in the league has little to do with his time at Rutgers and is much more about whether he has the physical skills to play small forward and guard small forwards in the NBA.I think you mean Morant. It's not comparing apples to oranges and here is why:
I'm talking about getting guys to the league. Not where or whether they were drafted.
The bottom line is that programs benefit, when it comes to recruiting, from having guys in the league. If a program has lottery pick(s), all the better. Late first round? Great. Second round? Good. UDFA? Cool.
Just have big pictures of your guys in the league on the walls of the basketball office. Hang banners in the practice facility that represent former players who are in the league. It doesn't matter that much to recruits how how former players of a school got to the league just that this school gets players to the league.
So, when recruits and their families are on campus getting a tour they can see that the program gets guys to the league.
I don't know how to explain it any better. If someone doesn't understand that getting guys to the NBA helps a program recruit I guess they just don't understand.![]()
It has certainly helped with the football team.... (McCourty's, Sanu, Rice (to an extent), Joseph....I think you mean Morant. It's not comparing apples to oranges and here is why:

Rutgers has been hitting the gym lately for the first time since college.How would you rate rutgers art skills last 40 years ?
No one coming to rutgers would be considered "'the savior" @Geo_Baker_1 and Ron amongst other have saved the program.Our best chances with Dylan are if we can land another couple of elite athletes. No one wants to be a one-man show and savior. We should ask Michigan what it takes to land a Fab Five, updated for this NIL era.
