Bold predictions for Rutgers Basketball's 2023-24 season
- Thread starter ruhoopshq
- Start date
Just so many important variables with a lot of new faces. How do the freshmen react to a step up in class and all that goes along with it? How good will the team chemistry be? How fast can they gel? Does everyone buy into what Coach is preaching?
Really tough to predict how a team will perform on the whole when there are such big changes - especially with a sport so dependent on TEAM and not necessarily individual play.

We are throwing a lot of new players together, almost all of whom are coming off major injuries. I need to see them play together before I would be willing to make any real predictions.
If four of those six predictions come true, we'll cruise into the NCAA tournament.
The African/Portugal tour will do wonders for teamwork and friendships. BTW- Did everyone see that Hyatt scored 30 points in the 1st tour game? And Oscar had 12
Hey, I may have some secret fans out there . . . You never knowWhat a bummer...we were all looking forward to your predictions.
This is the new norm. Going to be like this for most teams every year.
This is such a perfect year to have this trip with so many new players coming in. It should help the team come into the season with more chemistry and hopefully avoid an early season let down loss while they are still figuring out how to play with each other
Also, very high on the potential for team chemistry off the court as Pike creates an atmosphere for it... and Paul is gone who apparently wasn't helping in that area
Going back years, we have had bigs do very well on overseas preseason games
And It never seemed to translate nearly as good when they came back in the states
We can still hope for real improvement
Quote from Pike and the mods that Paul wasn't the best in the locker room. Seems like he might have been difficult to deal with. He was kind of a head case on the court so I can see it being the case. I'm sure we won't ever hear the actual details behind it though
Perfect time for the trip because without getting Cliff some NIL money he wouldn't be back.
