If I remember correctly, and I don't always, their instagram was pretty reliable last recruiting cycle--transfer cycle.

- Thread starter RU72
- Start date
6'10" 220, doesn't shoot 3's, not a good free throw shooter
seems like a decent passer 2.5 asst/game, good career improvement
8 rebounds/game in one of the weakest conferences where he's likely the biggest guy on the court every game
I'm skeptical that he's a B1G level player - plays below the rim
Gotta love the 40 point game - no dunks and didn't even really get double teamed
A very good player at that level

Take a look at what Ryan Young is doing for Duke. I think any high major is in trouble if Cohen is playing 32 minutes a night for them, but skilled interior scoring is a big asset.
I would take this kid as a 10-15 minute backup, but NOT as my starting center.
Cliff comes back, this kid could 100% slide in as a backup. Anyone who can score 40 points in a D1 game would have a role, even if not starting, anywhere.
This season he had 18/10 against OSU and 30/9 against Miami.
I think you’ve confused yourself as a critic or commentator, not a fan. If it’s a fun event cheering your team on, maybe that’s ok.
If Cliff comes back, we’re don’t gonna go after a back up center. Wolf has to play and develop. You prioritize that
Has 2 years left, and is an upgrade over Reiber and Woolfolk today. Rotation player is fine IMO, buys RU time with Mag's injury.
Do we not know if Reiber could put up these type of numbers if he played in the NEC?
He'd hit 3's and dunk too. A whole different level of athlete and Reiber isn't even good for us.
With that being said Wolf doesn't have a perimeter game, is undersized and plays below the rim. I LOVE HIM AS A BACKUP CENTER.
Wolf has dunks and is impressive in layup lines, not Cliff but he'll get dunks in games.
Wolf is never going to be a scorer his value is elsewhere - this guy's entire value is scoring
Generally speaking the very best NEC players can be rotation pieces on high major teams. Quincy McKnight was a decent guard for Seton Hall. The senior version of Peter Kiss could've been a player at the high major level (if you ignore the personality). Elijah Mitrou-Long went from Mount St. Mary's to Texas (he was inefficient at Texas, but he was also inefficient at MSM) and then was a very good player in the Mountain West. Cane Broome was in the rotation for some very good Cincinnati teams.
Ralph Agee had an 89 and a 94 offensive rating at SJSU. Cohen's is 118. Yes there's a difference in caliber of competition but that's not a good comparison. Agee also had a MUCH lower usage rating. Cohen was getting up a ton of attempts every night, even against teams like Ohio State, Butler, and Miami.
Shooting translates
Post play when you're used to being the biggest player on the floor at a lower level? I doubt it.
I only watched his 40 point game highlights - but look at where he's catching the ball he’s not getting it there in the Big Ten
With the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field, the NIT is not nearly what it used to be.
I did not know that. Is that new? Because of the Regional Finals there I suppose..hadn't put that together.
I didn't see the games but 10-13 from the line vs Miami helped and Miami scored 91
Miami is small and his team is well-coached to get him the ball
Ohio State beat them 96-59
I give a ton of credit to guys like TJ Thompson and Pike who can watch such different levels of play and figure out how they compare, That's really tough to do. If they're really on this guy, I take it all back. I doubt they are.
MSG chose not to bid on NIT. It was drawing 9000 or so and losing money there. I don't think Rutgers is looking at Cohen. Once again on to Ivy kids with eligibility and the bigs at Princeton, Dartmouth and Yale. Look at the success of these players:
Mason-Baylor
Aiken-Seton Hall
Cambridge-Arizona State
Bruner-Alabama
Atkinson-ND
Gabbidon-Colorado
And the list goes on. The League is not far off from the A-10 and may be better in quality at the top.
the tournament was already 64 in 1988
Agree NIT lost it's cache over time, but it came with the NCAA taking at larges IMO
True. But the expansion only came in 1985 - doubling the previous 32 team field, so it took a while for it to crumble the NIT. Adding another 4 teams to the NCAA's in 2011 did not help.
Cliff can get Nil $$ during the Rutgers basketball trip overseas this summer
Also all the players get a cost of living stipend but it’s not much compared to NIL money
Definitely took some time to take it down. And I dislike the 68 team version as well.
Once it wasn’t AQ or bust, NIT was on life support
I think it's been hinted here before, but probably the main reason we are going is for Cliff. He will get his NIL money while he is there. It's like a loophole
If he stays the 4th year I'll offer my firms services to file his returns.
Also Oscar Tshibwe literally did the same thing, It's worth the hassle
