great news....for us

good news for RU

Expected to happen...he has a early to mid 2nd round grade with scouts and plays smart basketball....they have a couple of good freshman guards coming in, so I'm not quite sure how much they can do to replace Garner and Carr, but life in recruiting has to move things forward for Penn State and everyone else in the B1G

Another guy who will be drafted ahead of Corey. If his goal is the NBA what was he thinking?

 

[Dpgru]

Corey won’t get drafted but he will get paid.

According to the announcers on one of the games (I can't recall which one) the g league pays $26, 000 a year. He has to be going to Europe. I still think his best financial option was to stay and work to up his value.

It is possible Penn State continues its successful recruiting. Their roster remains strong.

I don't think Carr's game translates to the NBA well....seems a little too slow....

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

They will still be good.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

They will still be good.

potentially better. I thought the ball stuck in Carr's hands too much. PSU has talent and i am sure Chambers has a Plan B

 

[TDIrish27]

I agree

That is not reasonable. Carr is OUTSTANDING. Now way they can replace him year one with a freshman. I watched several of their games and losing him and they will take a step back next year without him and the seniors they lose. I am not saying they can't get back up soon if they have continued to recruit 4 star too 100 talent. But they will take a step back next season. No post season play.

We'll see----that would surprise me.

They lose Carr and Shep Garner.

Carr is OUTSTANDING. They also have a lot of talented players on their roster. None anywhere near what Carr can do, but sometimes you are a better team when more people get touches.

The effective FG% of the 5 people that played the most for PSU were.....48.2%, 49.5%, 68.5%, 56.0%, and 62.6%. Is it unreasonable say I'd rather have the 48.2% taking less shots?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

At Rutgers players that averaged at least 10MPG

41.9%, 39.7%, 47.2%, 43.3%, 45.7%, 35.3%, 44.1%, 53.4% and 60.0%.

The 1st 2 took 57.4% of our shots when they were in the game. The guys in bold are leaving.

They shot high percentages because Carr required a double team in the post and kicked it out for open shots. The whole losing a star or your best player and getting better thing is weird Rutgers mentality. We do it all the time. We will be better without Carroo because that open it up to spread the ball around. Yeah, that didn't work. It is extremely rare that situation works. Save for your Dukes Alabama etc. and it only works there because hey are recruiting the best of the best every year.
