The portal and the RAC

[The RUT]

The RAC is your ticket to rebuilding the roster through the portal. As old, run down, grungy the building is, it is your ticket on the recruiting trail.

The marketing team at RU should be generating a montage of the greatest RAC moments with decibel levels included. Send that montage out with offers to top tier players in lesser conferences with lesser game atmospheres.

That’s how you lock down talent.

A better option would be a system not based on playing defense.

I think being able to bring recruits in to watch a game there makes a difference. I think it helped big time with Cliff and I think not being able to host any recruits in a full or close to full arena last year hurt us.

Didn't Baylor just win a title with a defense first system?

 

[Caliknight]

They have a great offense too. Talent abounds. We aren’t Baylor.

Baylor made themselves good by getting good on offense. They had a top 20 offense in Scott Drew's fifth year (their defense ranked 113th that season). Their offense was top 20 in eight out of nine seasons from 2008-2016. They only had three top 50 defenses in that span.

We definitely need more offense, but our defense that held Purdue under there average scoring and fueled our offense won that game and many others the last few years.

Playing defense including rebounding keeps team in games but offense wins games as seen with Harper scoring 30 points against Purdue.Rutgers margin for error is very small because it struggles to even score 65 points.The team has too many complementary type players and not enough difference makers .

 

[Caliknight]

Good offense beats good defense in basketball. We don’t have good offensive players.

do you ever see pictures of Pike in recruits homes like you see GS in recruits homes?!?!?

This as well. As unrealistic as the dream is, all these kids think theyre going to the nba. You get to the nba getting buckets and playing in offensive system, not one thats defense first
