It’s strange that some responses in here are “I trust pike” (not relevant to the conversation anyway) but at the same time excuse not getting Swider because he’s not a fit while Pikiell prioritized him as a recruit.
What we have seen is Rutgers was one of the first to reach out. How do we know Pike prioritized him as a recruit? The conversation at Syracuse and Rutgers could have been dramatically different regarding this is how we see you fitting in here. He liked the Syracuse option better and/or Rutgers said good luck with your future endeavors at another school

Why is he a priority over the other 4 to 5 names RU had interest in, based on a single tweet??

Your posts are terrifyingly bad most of the time.....what percentage should a coaches conversion percentage be with 1 to 2 spots and 1200 kids in the portal.....we have been linked publicly with 5 to 6 kids. There's really at most 2 spots.....there could be a situation where RU is linked to other players not reported.

And there really is no issue on the 1st week of April, making something out of nothing. You are going to lose 95+% of the targets in hoops in a normal recruiting cycle...only you would highlight something normal as a negative 95% of the time, when it's standard operating procedure.

You're just been called out as wrong too many times to count on dissing Pike the last 2 years....eventually, one day, you will be right, even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess.

I was clearly talking about this year's transfer portal.


So every year we are going to re-evaluate pikiell’s ability to recruit? And that will be based on the portal?

We don’t even need to make a splash with a transfer. At most what we need is a back up for Cliff and that is a maybe based on development of current roster anything else would be gravy....

If guys in portal were good enough they would be going pro. unfortunately with covid Europe will be tough for most these guys so they are staying in college. No one is transferring to a program that will hurt their professional options or give them less playing time. That is why I think geo will stay. He has no options in basketball. Worst thing for him to do would be to transfer to a big 10, ACC, PAC 12 school and not play...

Pikiell’s recruiting pitch is come to Rutgers and be a back up.

This argument is SO FLAWED it’s getting tiring. You generally offer your top recruits first so yeah there are other guys who may be able to play but coaches aren’t going after guys they want first by waiting months to go after them.

Still waiting on warranted criticism. I’m positive most of the time but too often I’m compelled to have to point out the obvious take after some wackadoo posts.

No one knows all the transfer players Rutgers may have reached out to already. 4-5 are known. How many are unknown?

The one's listed are because the players told a reporter who contacted them and the reporter tweeted it out.

If Swider didn't want to be at RU just let him be. It doesn't seem like he was great on defense and didn't rebound as much as we need so I feel we will get someone else who fits better for us. some of you are way over the top. Everyone is in the same boat.
