[Kbe4]

Has he played his final game for RU ?

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

You'll find out soon enough as the portal opens shortly after The Crown is over.

Hopefully

He'll leave, go to some mid major, get real coaching, become the lights out shooter he was supposed to be here, and join the parade of ex-RU players dancing in March.

Do you feel good after saying stuff like this?

 

[RU206]

He would do well in the MAAC. A school like Marist or Rider or Niagara. He’s not athletic enough for the B1G.

 

[bac2therac]

Baaaaaaaaaaaahdaaaaaaahloooooooou

 

[RUDiddy777]

Has he played his final game for RU ?

Hope so. Wish him well, but he’s not cut out for the Big Ten.

 

[RAC93]

Is anyone actually looking for him? The question of “is my wallet gone?”, “are my keys or my cell gone?” Much more relevant and significant. But if Badalau were “gone”, then let him go.

What about retention?
Multi year contracts?
All that nonsense and fake tears many cry about the lack of loyalty by players?

Funny how all the "Pike needs his players for multiple years to develop them. Players should be forced to stay for 2 or more years at a school" goes out the window when the player appears to not be any good.

Yea it’s true. We want to keep Powers to develop him to hit his ceiling. Badalou stinks so we want him gone. What’s hard to understand

I had hopes for Badalau as a shooter when he joined the team. He could have been a fan favorite at the RAC.

I thought he was going to be the best player on RU at the beginning of the season. I felt like he had an inconsistent start and just never recovered. I got Gavin Griffiths vibes from him. Anyway no way he should stay.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Here is what's scary. After watching Badalou every day for months Pike thought he was good enough to start.

The majority of fans here have indicated that they don't like the free agent frenzy instability of rosters that the portal has created in College basketball. Many have even claimed that they are losing interest in college sports because of it and NIL.

Those types of expressed feelings seem kind of disingenuous when at the same time many of the same fans seem quite happy to want the team to leverage the portal rules to quickly turn over the roster every season in order to bring in new players and throw out what they consider the players who are trash.

Yeah...I was wondering about that. What did Pike like about his game and what he would bring to the team ?

i don’t think it’s disingenuous

I really hate the state of college sports right now with the rampant free agency

but it is what it is

So Rutgers needs to play the free agency game just like everyone else

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

he probably looked good in pre season practices going against Rutgers players

 

[mugrat86]

According to Pike, he was best three point shooter on the team in practice. Obviously, he choked in the games

Does Pike ever talk bad about anyone? I take everything he says with a grain of salt

No one was guarding him.

You know what they say. “ you can put lipstick on a pig and guess what? It’s still a pig “.

The worst I remember him talking bad about a player was when he talked about how Mag was doing great in practice day after day, but then darn come game day he wasn’t healthy enough to play.

 

[NickRU714]

I doubt any coaches talk bad about any current players.

It would be interesting how often they provide such high praise on players who totally under delivery.

Chol, Hayes, Badalau - who will be "best shooter in camp" next season?
