I watched a lot of footage of him last night. No disrespect to Paul, but he's a polar opposite ballplayer and big upgrade over Paul. Our offense will be dynamic this year. Maybe not best offense in league, but it will be fast, lots of flow, and fun to watch.
Noah Fernandes
- Thread starter RutgersClassof2004

What offense? Our resident expert says Pike can’t run an offense! Lmao. Looking forward to playing more downhill this year!
Definitely an upgrade...no disrespect to mulcahy but time is a crucial part of a basketball game. Who can score the most points in 40 minutes. If you can score fast it puts pressure on the other team to keep up and our defensive guys like Mag can force mistakes/turnovers.
I'm not going to trash Paul - he had a different game/body type then Fernandez does. That being said it will be nice to have a true fast PG. Interested to see how fast this team can gel - lots of new faces!
Can we get Cliff and our faster guards out in transition rather than settling into a half court offense?
A cool small-ball unit built for transition and chaos would be Noah, JMike, Simpson, GG or Hyatt, Cliff.
No doubt - very athletic lineup right there - I would substitute Mag for GG or Hyatt for our Trapezoidal Death by Defense lineup! If Pike instills them all with a defensive mindset (and we know he will) then this all points to this lineup giving other teams fits!

Yeah when Mag is healthy… maybe instead of Noah since Noah may be too small for a 94 feet of heck defense. Quicks and length…killer combo.
