Faster, quicker, better than ever.
Than man’s D is insane.
No brace, shear misery to play against.

Caleb
- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
He has a chance at the next level, his awareness of what teams want to do, is 2nd to none that I've seen at RU.
Gotta love Caleb. A winner who makes winners of us all.
He was immense today. He seemed to snag every rebound early on
I'm hoping the way he played today is the way he will play all year. He's real good normally, but when his shot is falling he is a stud.
Two weeks ago we said the same thing about Spencer. It’s always about matchups. Early for the over the top love.
Very happy for him.
Not that it’s a bad thing (just the way it is) but in previous years he was “ behind” geo and Ron now this HIS team (along with Paul and cliff)…. Good for him!!!!
So deserving

As I've been saying since his first game back, he has no health issues - his only issue was knocking a little rust off his game and his last two games have been superb. He played like his hair was on fire to use an overused cliche. Loved it.
Someone said he was wearing a huge knee brace, he certainly wasn’t this afternoon.
That’s a great thing!
SMH. You can’t be a short version of Rodman in the NBA. He defended 4s and 5s.
I think the Bowen comparison is much better. Big 2, stopper.
Caleb just grinds man. Love the defense from him and our team tonight!!!
That's Rutgers and Jersey basketball. Great effort by him, the players, and Pike tonight!

I love that Indiana put some freshman in and Caleb immediately stripped him and ran the court for a dunk.
He was huge in so many facets - leadership, ball handling, scoring, rebounding, D.
I said on the way home that Mag is like Rodman with his hyper-motor and ability to annoy guys with the ball. Today he was aggressive on the boards like I've never seen him before.

Had to bump this, due to Caleb’s colossal contribution.
In only his third game back from a knee injury, all he did was lead the team in minutes (37), points (16), rebounds (10) and steals (2), while playing his usual stellar defense.
Incredible performance in knocking off the #10 team in the nation.

Defense travels and is not about “match ups”. Caleb didn’t even shoot well. He was 4 for 13, but his inefficiency is deceiving. Outside of the times he tries to force penetration (and it’s not really that often when you think about some of our other players), his shot selection demonstrates great court awareness. He always follows his shots crashing the glass which is why he gets a lot of offensive boards off his own misses. And while his “shot”, the mid range, isn’t a high percentage shot, he takes it at times when others are in good position to crash the glass.
I cannot think of any player Caleb reminds me of. He is so unique. Winners come up big when stage is highest. Not surprisingly he was awesome against ND last year and he was equally as awesome against Miami and Indiana
Absolutely, Every NBA roster has room for a perimeter defensive stopper with length and long arms.
Caleb’s d is contagious, Mag, Simpson flying around pressuring and double teaming like him and he’s mentoring Simpson too. Terrific leader for this team and watching games is seeing how great this D can play.
I didn’t even think about that. Yeah, last week he did have a huge brace on. Ditched it pretty quickly.
Maybe, but he’s our guy. Just like Paul. I guess playing hard, never giving up on plays and leading pisses off some people. Oh well…
It felt like he was saying "we're not losing to Indiana on MY watch", lol
