Regardless, the original point was that after the first 2 transfers, nobody else added will be highly sought after at the time we bring them to RU. Chol fell into that category.
It doesnt matter who is in the portal.
- Thread starter billgumpper
- Start date
There were minutes available once Mag went down but there weren't any before that.
That was mainly due to the roster construct. Hopefully we don’t need any of the starters playing 30+ minutes again this year in every game.
Well Ash & Gump scored a couple more epic fails in this thread. You would think people who are so badly wrong, so often, might tire of being continually exposed as morons, and perhaps stfu for awhile.
Rumor has it that we might have lost Ndongo, can I complain about that if it is true?
But Pike is a developer and those kids will be Big 10 quality players. Thatr's what abojut 50 fans on this board said last off season. It didnt happen.
We will never know exactly why we missed the tournament but an untimely injury may have played a role.
Cut your losses Dumper. You’re embarrassing yourself and you’re probably not even a Rutgers fan.
No it's just further proof that tightwads like yourself are hurting RU with lack of NIL.
I took him off ignore because he was great for laughs. May have to reverse that decision.
That's a rumor? Source? First I've seen anything about this but that would be horrible news for sure
The injury couple with the fact that the bench players from the previous year didnt develop into Big 10 players was the reason.
Of course because anyone that talks about the reality of the team in a way you dont like cant be a fan.
Mag's injury was THE main reason we missed the tourny. He was the glue guy, the cog in the machine that we couldn't replace, every good team has an irreplaceable player that can submarine a season. Tell that to UMass, who was 6-1 when theiy lost their starting PG, Noah Fernandes, they finished the season 15-16(6-12 in the A10), only went 1-3 in 4 games after Noah gave it a go before shutting it down for the year. Guess they didn't have a PG to replace him like we didn't have a forward to replace Mag. It happens every year in every sport and a team underperforms after it.
Some Pitchers can look horrible if their favorite catcher gets injured.
QBs can slump and lose for weeks if their top WR goes down.
We were 16-7(8-4) in 2nd place by ourselves, top 20 in NET, Ken Pom, and T-Rank, and went 2-6 to finish the season and 1-1 B1G tournament. We finish the season 4-4 or 5-3 with Mag healthy which would put us at 21-12 or 22-11 into the NCAA tournament. Not saying UMass would have gotten there but they sure would have finished the year with around 20 wins with a healthy Noah in a down year for the A10.
One of the mods watched preseason practices and said he was the surprise of the sessions
Then we saw little of him in the season
I would like to see him get extended minutes during a game we should win easily, just to see what he can do
That’d be great and it would mean we found a diamond in the rough. The point still stands though that it’s unlikely we are landing 3 highly sought after transfers or frosh recruits for next years class. That’s true even if Hyatt decides to leave or we lose a frosh commit. We got Noah. Maybe we get one more high profile kid max. Expectation should not be for more than that.
You can complain about it but are you going to blame Pike if Ndongo leaves because of NIL money? IF the answer is yes, then you can't complain.
He doesn’t even contribute to NIL and he wants to talk about “sitting on your hands”.
