I love this like college kids who act like they’re insiders

If this means anything, they both posted it in their stories

I rather have Ndongo over Kante
Why? Have you personally scouted both players? Or did you just watch some highlight video and are reading this board.
You didn't ask me, but I'll answer
Papa is a 5. He's an upgrade over Wolf, probably wants to play a lot next year and that isn't going to happen unless Cliff leaves. I think Cliff is staying. I've seen Papa play in person.
Ndongo is potentially 4-5-3, more athletic, much better wing skills and court awareness. A more advanced player and made big strides at PSA as a wing. That's from what I've seen on video and from people who have seen him play in person.
Ndongo has legit NBA type ceiling upside. Kante seems too limited offensively to have that kind of ceiling
A. Bc its been reported why Ndongo hasn't signed and it's other schools swooping in with offers
B. Pike isn't going to pull someone's scholarship commitment on signing day
C. Common sense
You forgot to mention that Baye chose Rutgers first to commit too
That kante is asking out of his NIL. Basically the equivalent of re-tweeting the tweet on Instagram
It seems as this Ndongo situation has people more confident as it drags out. You can argue that if he really wanted to take the Georgetown offer that he likely would have decommitted and taken it by now
Interesting he brings up taking BOTH Ndongo and Kante
The depth and talent level would be insanely better
Bottom of the roster last year were guys like Miller Reiber Oskar and a redshirting project Chol. This year the end of the bench should be players who have more B1G level talent
Agree, if there is any chance at both, you take it and run. On paper, the 11th, 12th and 13th players in no particular order could be Davis, Woolfolk and Chol. That's a big leap from this past year and that's assuming 3 freshman are in your rotation (Griffiths, Ndongo and Kante).
I am more bullish on Davis the more tape I see on him, but playing time and practice is where you get better. If Davis is pushing Mulcahy, Simpson and Fernandes in practices, that can only be a good thing.
I would love to land both, but if we are struggling to match money for Ndongo, can we scrape together enough for Kante as well?
I can't imagine Rutgers has a bottomless pit of money and the class of 24 is going to require seemingly a couple million
Davis seems definitely underrated to me. I heard he was injured last 2 AAU periods so that might explain it, but he has put up some big numbers at an elite HS
He pushes the pace and plays with intensity looking up to dish or taking it to the rim and finishes in a variety of ways with runners using both hands, off wrong foot, etc. Davis just seems like a baller who plays with intensity and will scrap on defense and stick his nose in to grab boards
Yea, I don't think so either. It's being discussed bc of the Brietman pod a few posts up talking about it
When we signed Davis, I said he was highly under rated. Can create.
He will try. If Kante commits could change the dynamic with Ndongo. It will be interesting.
Kante does have a good connection with Pitt.
Like I said, my personal opinion, I would be surprised if he commits to Rutgers but IF he does the question is would it affect the situation with Ndongo or does it even boost the situation?
Something to think about.
I didn’t read this whole thread
I didn’t read the whole thread, but I was told that Kante needs to pass an English class this summer to get into Michigan, but he didn’t want to do it.
The best hope of landing Kanye would be the efforts of Gavin, but it seems early indications are that other programs are being mentioned first
Chances with Ndango are better because we can almost promise he will start at the 4, where Kanye is bumping into Cliff more directly, so the sales pitch for him would be the following year starter, major backup this year
Are we eliminated because Cliff probably returns and he would not start, or have we just fallen out of consideration after the first recruitment?
The optimistic part of me says the longer it drags out the better for RU
The pessimistic part says he is maybe visiting Georgetown, and others, and we don't know it, and we are further away from getting him
If Gavin and/or his family were going to try to influence Papa to go to Rutgers, he would have signed with Rutgers in the first place.
If no Kante, let's stay on Ndongo and move onto feeding Ndongo and Woolfolk back up 5 minutes and let Ndongo get acclimated at the PF spot too. Then we can stay on Lathan Sommerville in 2024.
Are you a grown man calling yourself rutgershoopsinsider with a dedicated twitter account to?
We definitely can't promise Ndongo that he will start over Mag this year at the 4 or next year with Mag and Ace
landing either ndongo or kante would be great, both would be a dream - get as many talented players on the roster as you can. kids are gonna decide to use the transfer portal either way we shouldnt worry about kids leaving over not getting minutes. if we needed them they’d be getting the minutes.
Probably so, had we been a close second you would have thought we now had a chance, but many here feel we are not in line at this point
So as fans we move on I guess
I like the optimism, but you’re assuming Ndongo and Kante will both be on the team, when its likely neither will be on the team.
