RU missed at LEAST 15 lay-ups or shots within 2-3 feet of the rim - Badalau missed at least 5 of those ... and of course all of Ogbole's shots. But Nwuli, Powers also missed several each.
You'd like to think that won't happen every game ...

To be fair..there were people outside the program who paid 2 top 5 draft picks around $3million to play Rutgers
Like insanity to just ignore that
And that he should be benched in favor of Jaden Jones a year later. The best was kyk saying Eugene could not run with his boys at La Fitness .
But I can also tell you that one staff member had the same assessment after a couple of games. Fortunately, all of them were wrong, but it was not so outrageous for them to think that way based on the information they had the time.
And who would that be? Oh, that’s right, it’s the Internet and anyone can throw unsubstantiated anonymous stuff out there. If a staff member did in fact share that assessment with someone here, it was still pretty damn stupid after only a few games.
I did not post it at the time or soon there thereafter because he was still in the program and the coach was still in the business – – but if you are calling me a liar,screw you

A wise person does not pass judgement when they have limited information. It is just common sense.
You are confusing Badalau with Zrno . . .Our reputed leading scorer going 1-12 played a large part in that, so it remains to be seen whether we can shoot better as a team if he lives up to expectations after a rough opener.
I hear you but it’s not like Pike had that money to spend. It’s was NIL that Dylan and Ace acquired on their own. It had zero to do with Rutgers.
Nah...Badalau was best shooter in off-season per Pike and really came on. Hence why he started
Agreed, I was also encouraged by him only having 1 foul in 20 minutes to go along with his 10 boards.
Zrno Is 3 years older and was the guy @Richie and others talked up as our potential leading scorer this year.
Recently he and Fonseca have both been talking up Badalau. The Zrno "hype" was from the summer
General comment is that we played more like a team versus a collection of individual players.
I was impressed with Tariq and the continued development of Grant and JMike.
Buchanan and Badalau look like mature physical players that will be competitive contributors.
Ogbole used his size well to grab rebounds, alter shots, and create imposing traps.
Ware looked nimble for a guy his size and I look forward to watching him develop and contribute this year.
Zrno looks confident in his shot and with a bit more consistency should provide much needed daggers.
Dortch and Fall need to be more aggressive and hopefully one or both will give some productive spot minutes (and fouls) at the 5.
The other 3 freshmen will have to make the best of whatever minutes they can get to prove themselves (D up and box out!) and earn additional PT.
