if you would have asked me last year, which couple of players would be the least likely to transfer, Gene would have been right up there in the group....a true warrior who gave his all, it seemed.

I believe some of his quotes were that he left because he wanted to play for an NCAA team, and another quote that we would not make it after he left

so, if those statements are accurate in any way, we all should take some measure of satisfaction.... I would bet that he hoped we did not make it, in order to validate what he did.

now he has to accept that we are a NCAA team, he was wrong

my biggest hope is that Oregon goes south next year and misses the tourney....that would be fitting justice..... in reality the chances of them not making it are small....but I can still hope.

We dont make the tourney if eugene stays. I shouted from the rooftops before the season it was addition by subtraction, only to get laughed at. So now, I laff

I think this is a very valid position to take and is not showing lack of class. I also think getting Yeboah after EO leaving was a Godsend and we ended up being a better team.

We got yeboah before eugene made his middle of the night announcement. Eugene was getting bullied in the post by ron in spring runs and then yeboah came and played pick up with them and i know for a FACT that eugene thought yeboah had a ton of game and thought hed play no more than 20 a night so he was OUT. Scared boy

please stop. This team is probably Seton Hall-level good with Eugene. And he should suck on it watching us dance with the HC who developed him into a legit high D-1 kid. You aren’t right.

And you have a post out there claiming Pike is a dog and won’t make the tourney this year, next year or the year after. Before you hurt yourself patting your own back I say as respectfully as possible, you are a good poster but your basketball takes are atrocious. Really really awful

Mod should just AXE this thread.. I think EO is probably happy for Rutgers, Pike, the players, our fans.. some of them.

We should be better than mocking him leaving.

No, no, we are not. Eugene more or less called the RU players a bunch of losers who wouldnt dance. **** him and his bum *** knee, and yes id say it to his face

I agree F him but he’s not even worth mentioning. He was as good as gone to me once he ditched this program.

And, yes, pike does have room for improvement this off season with setting up a half court O. I must say tho, someone had to have gotten in his ear about mine @RUsojo and @Scangg ‘s posts demanding he try 2 for 1’s and play young montez and geo together. Weve seen that over the past 3 games and weve looked pretty damn good with that guard combo. Gonna hurt my back tho if i keep patting it so ill stop

Hard disagree with that. Omoruyi is an undersized four who doesn't solve our one big problem (shooting). Honestly don't think he would've made us any better.

'Ya know, in my joy about this Rutgers basketball team and what they've done this year, (and will do in the years to come), I'd completely forgotten about EO. -But that's good. His own decision rendered him totally irrelevant to RU on the hardwood, and truthfully, I don't give a damn about him one way or the other.

This thread is really the only thing that acted as a reminder that he was once here, (and I completely get the sentiment behind it and to be perfectly frank, I wasn't exactly a fan of the way he made his exit either). But when it disappears off the 1st page of the basketball forum, for me he'll go back again to being what he now means to Rutgers basketball....absolutely nothing.

Nah I would. You can ask @ScarletBartlett who witnessed me tell mike poole he was soft for transferring after the mike rice fiasco. We both got kicked out of queens after he pushed me and i grabbed him by his shirt with both hands. He tried to fight me outside then backed down once he saw i was about that life

if i saw eugene in person i would tell him he was softer than baby **** for transferring. Either that or id thank him and tell him we wouldnt have made the tourney with him

Um the guy literally went to the president's office to call him out to his face over the Schiano mess.

Try to not be so stupid. You don't wear it well.

This doesn't make you look tough, it makes you look like a complete jackass for messing with college kids. Grow up man, that's nothing to gloat about

I was the same grade as mike poole. The whole, “yOuD nEvEr sAy iT iN pErSoN t0 hIm” crowd are such idiots. Like yeah dude if i see eugene walking in manhattan im gonna run up to him and say “yo dude real quick youre a *****” like of course im not. But if i was playing hoops and he was as well id chirp him about it. Its just such a dumb thing to say.

Well honestly the convo started off cordial. I said to him, “yo dude please stay, if you guys stay we can dance next year”. At which point he said, “nah man **** this place”. To which i said, “where are you gonna go iona? That degree is about as valuable as a GED, just stay here get an RU degree and let that take you places”. At this time he said “get the **** out my face” (i wasnt up on his face just talking to him in a body to body bar) To which i responded “alright but if i were you id stay at Rutgers”. I went to walk away, he pushed me, I then actually got in his face, grabbed him by his shirt with both hands. We both got bounced out, he took a little hop towards me, i stood my ground and asked him what he was gonna do, he talked a little ****, i told him i **** girls bigger than him and then we parted ways.

Yupppp and that we would be better without EO with Yeboah spacing the floor. That we would be a tournament team. That we should push the pace and spread the floor etc

No Ill will for him. He cowardly and selfishly left the team and bet wrong on his teammates and his coach and himself. He can now play with Oregon next year and maybe achieve what he wants. But I part of the group that thinks this team was better without him and his departure might have been a motivating force to do well this season.

We will never know if we would have been better with Eugene, but I doubt we would be worse. If Gene was not helping the team win, his minutes would have gone way down.

Right now MacConnell is in a funk, down to three minutes . He will turn it around I believe

Either gene helps, or he would get less time, just like that. We could always use an inside player and we don’t know how good or bad
He would have been right now

Anyway it is genes loss more than anything

You guys are nuts. Leave the guy alone. He knows how dumb he looks by leaving.

By wasting breathe on him we are short changing our guys they deserve it not EO

this is why you need to trust the process and recruit good kids. Everyone else panicked but these guys kept grinding.

You guys must’ve missed Geo and Ron’s tweets saying all this after EO left. If they can trash him on social media then so can we as just fans, sorry! EO is a big ZERO
