Great he visited. I was hoping for some magic last night like with Ace. We beat Mich and Teng commits on the spot. Hopefully that first 6-7’ left a good impression.
Kur Teng
- Thread starter dark_check
- Start date
I'd imagine the RAC atmosphere impressed him. The crowd was electric early so he got to see what it can be
If we won a close game, the RAC would have exploded but it's still better that he was here for this game than Nebraska by a mile

Does the staff kno Dylan is going to Duke?? Why are we attempting to sign so many guards in the 24 class
Gavin Griffiths visited us for the Lafayette game last year.
Game is not relevant to the recruitment.
Sure proved relevant to Ace Bailey (no I’m not saying he wouldn’t have committed otherwise, but he said the dub over OSU propelled him to commit on the spot)
Teng is a 2024 recruit that would be on a Rutgers roster not including most of the current players.At the same time losing a game isn't what you want a recruit to watch on a visit.
That is your opinion .Others might not agree.
Actually, a game like last night's could be good for recruitment. It demonstrated a rabid fan base ready to explode for the good guys. And a team in dire need of players who could put the ball in the basket from the field and the free throw line.
Players/recruits can see how close we are to taking the next step as a program.
Some fans here sound like we are about to be tossed into a flaming dumpster again.
Paul Cliff Hyatt Caleb Cam all won't be here. Oskar Dean and Miller most likely won't be either
Simpson and Wolf are the only players he will be playing with that were on the court plus injured Mag
If you really think Ace Bailey came here because we did well in one game you are dead wrong. There is a 3 letter acronym that got him to come here, not a game performance
Not an opinion, just facts....pay attention to the recruiting cycle and the podcasts.
Results of the game can definitely impact positively. Look at Ace, he probably commits anyway but does so after the game because of the result. As for losing a game, I don’t think it has much impact. Teams all over the country lose games, recruits know that. Now, what could negatively effect a recruit is how the players/coaches react to losing. Are they bickering fighting etc showing the recruit a bad culture? If so, that could leave a bad taste after a visit.
So you think Ace committed only because they won that game?
RU fans never cease to amaze.
NIL, why are we afraid to speak of this. dude got paid, he doesn't care about RU lol he got his pay day will be here for a year and then go off to the NBA. Happy we got him, not happy how we got him
He wants to be at RU. You think RU is the only school offering NIL? He's a top 5 national player. He could go to any school he wants. He could get more in NIL elsewhere
His entire family was in the locker room beaming with pride when it was announced. He wants to be here.
This thread was supposed to be about Teng and there has been no response how the visit concluded.
we just outbid everyone else for him, but keep living in lalaland
yeah, I would be beaming with pride too if I just got a check.
Since you know it all, tell the board what RU promised vs the other schools.
Right, typical remark from someone talking out of their rear
Sounded like from the podcast on Friday that is going well...?
@Richard Schnyderite any rumblings on when there may be a decision or any other news since the visit concluded?
The visit went well. However , many of them go well . Think we hear more very soon.
I have a hard time believing Rutgers is going to offer more money to a top 10 recruit than Auburn or Kentucky
Why? Before he committed it was widely reported NIL would be a major factor. Do you think that wasn't true?
Kentucky has 4 of the top 7 in 2023 committed, maybe they didn't want to commit that much $$ to a 2024 yet?
Because we don't have the level of fanaticism as those schools and are new to the NIL concept. We have a growing fan base for basketball but it's not a religion up here the same way it is in the south. Maybe times have changed and we can raise as much as those other schools now.
That seems to be the theme for UK every year. Somehow it hasn't translated on the court.
I get that part. The part I'm talking about is where pre-commit it was widely reported it was all about NIL with this kid and after he commits with Rutgers some people seem to think it couldn't have been NIL.
Is there any reason to believe the importance of NIL with him changed? or wasn't accurately reported pre-commit?
It's ONE player. If we're talking about overall team NIL, I agree.
