Georgetown today is a way better job than Rutgers when Pikiell took over.
We get it - you don’t like Pikiell.
Really wish you devoted more of this energy over on the football board because your basketball takes are mostly horrid.

Love him or hate him gotta give Carino credit for being an old head he has strong clickbait game
it’s apples and oranges to make
comparisons of the programs at
Rutgers, Princeton, St. Peter’s and FDU. the irony of the 3 small time NJ programs that are operating without NIL, football $, million dollar coaches or 5* recruits, accomplishing more than RU could ever dream in the tournament, cannot be lost.

Smurf alert. Lol. Rutgers is one of 4 BIG teams to win 10 games each of the last 4. Years. Pike’s accomplishments are tremendous unless you’re a troll or a shu fan. People that couldn’t get into rutgers are so jelly. Haha.
1. Pike didn’t just get us to bubble. That statement doesn’t encapsulate his accomplishments, it minimizes them.
He got us in the dance 3 straight years and it took being the national snub of the year to keep him out, and even that required several injuries and a historically bad ref call that the Big Ten acknowledged as wrong.
2. If it’s not that hard, why couldn’t any coach in 30 years do it?
Gary Waters was not a good coach, he was an excellent coach. Just a crap recruiter. He failed here. Hill was an exceptionally strong recruiter that couldn’t (or wouldn’t?) coach to save his life. For 30 years everyone failed here in every different flavor. And yet your claim is that it’s not that hard. You need to explain why it’s not hard here and yet no one for 3 decades could do it.
How is it that a sun never shined on the dog’s *** in 30 years here?

Georgetown is coming off back to back seasons of
6-25
7-25
And the new coach will be taking over a roster left with zero players pretty much. To argue which program was in a worse spot is a fools errand as both were not/are not in great spots. Make no mistake the gtown rebuild this new coach is undertaking is no different than RU’s. However the gtown coach has less $ to work, no nil and no facility to sell.
So I ask again, would it be surprising if gtown is on the bubble by 2027? No it wouldnt. Because its not that hard to go from zero to bubble. Its quite hard to go from good to great tho

Its fairly simple why it didnt happen. $$ and an incompetent adminstration. That all changed when hobbs got hired and dump time money and resources into bball (his first love) like weve never seen before.
Agree to disagree my friend.
Your explanation explains why we couldn’t be a perennial 10-win B1G team, as Pike has achieved (10 B1G wins = bubble team). That’s not what I asked you.
Your answer doesn’t explain why the sun never shined on a dog’s *** (ie make the dance once in 30 years). Even stupidity & incompetence finds a way in once every 3 decades and we didn’t until Pike.
I don’t think you appreciate how much Pike had to overachieve to get us to a point where fans can regard such bubbliness as merely pedestrian. He’s a great coach (not just good), and apparently turning into a recruiting god.
One thing about the tournament is you must have great guard play and that also includes a three that needs to be able to score. Purduesimply could not stay in front of the FDU guards plus the got Eady far enough out and he couldn’t get back to rim protect. Doesn’t happen in the big
Except you wanted to compare the Rutgers basketball job 7-8 years ago vs. the Georgetown right now.
- Rutgers was arguably the worst D1 program in all of college basketball 7-8 years ago.
- There was no practice facility 7-8 years ago for Rutgers.
- There was no NIL 7-8 years ago for Rutgers.
- There wasn’t much of a transfer portal 7-8 years ago (like today)
- Rutgers was a laughing stock in college basketball for 30 + years with multiple failed coaches and scandals/drama. It was where coaches go to die.
The Georgetown undertaking is way different and easier than Rutgers 7-8 years ago (NoTiCe ThE bOlD).
Georgetown is a storied program and basketball comes first for their administration, alumni and students.
You bring up NIL which is hilarious because it’s actually helping to support how wrong you are…NIL didn’t exist for Rutgers 7-8 years ago!
Georgetown can use NIL and the transfer portal to quickly rebuild. Pikiell didn’t have those luxuries when he took over.
He took over a complete dog$hit program and completely turned it around with 2/3 stars…something many coaches couldn’t do here (and before any practice facility or major resources were given to him).

Kyk you are trending towards @rutgersal level of ridiculousness with your hoops takes. You’re not like that IRL I can’t figure out if you’ve gotten that good at trolling or just lost it on the boards
Not to mention doing it playing 20 games in the B1G.
This FDU win only proves what we knew already knew , anything can happen in a sports competition. It proves nothing. We all know the best team didn't win. Give FDU credit but like Furman sadly they will get blown out soon. That's why this tournament doesn't prove anything about who's the best in the USA. It's just great entertainment.
Agree. We executed a very similar game plan against them and had a chance to win but guys other than Edey were able to step enough so they won. Not so last night. You could see Edey’s support cast get tighter and tighter as the game wore on.
Jerry in his mind thinks every time he knocks Rutgers he builds up his alma mater. Why does he never speak about the relationship between Mr Brennan, the former A1 Hall booster, and PJC?
I find it absolutely amazing that anybody who cares about RU basketball would pile on such a negative comment. You are obviously not a real fan of the program
Georgetown has wealthy alumni who rabidly support the program. As long as they hire the right coach they will be competitive again.
Georgetown’s recent problems have nothing to do with resources. They unfortunately made a bad hire, bringing in Ewing, who was a great alumni, great basketball player, nice guy, but a completely inadequate head basketball head coach. Georgetown has no shortage of money for basketball and they have great alumni support. And the money angle in basketball is completely overrated. If you have a great coach, a handful very good players and a ball, you can beat anyone. I am not a Pitino fan, but if he ends up at St. John’s, they will be a contender, even though unlike Georgetown don’t have access to money.

I dont think you realize how much nil is helping rutgers and hurting programs like gtown. You think pike recruited ace Bailey here and not $? LOL. Rutgers bball has GREATLY benefitted from NIL

Patrick Ewing had no problem getting very good players to come to Georgetown, he just couldn’t do anything them, he is a lousy head coach. Georgetown could easily outraise us for NIL with their highly supportive and wealthy alumni base.
Who you calling Peter?

We are comparing the Rutgers job 7 years ago to the Georgetown job today, remember.
NIL wasn’t here 7 years ago.
Wtf are you talking about?!
Or is this you moving the goalposts to a completely different field?
He’s stubborn.
He can’t concede a point to anyone.
It doesn’t matter how many logical things you say. He can’t say “I agree with you on x, but disagree with y.” It’s bonkers
are you basing this off anything other than what Richie's said on the premium board?
You have been downplaying what Pike has done here, every single year for a while now. If it was so easy, we would not have had a 30 year NCAA drought and a putrid basketball history. You don't have a level head about any of our programs though. Loads of passion though which I love.

Very level head imo. Predicted 4-8 in football and 16-15 in bball. Nailed football was 2 games off in bball
Do you predict we will cross midfield against MD next year?
The lengths that some of you "fans" will go to take childish swipes at Rutgers (or breathlessly report them in new threads) is mind boggling.
