MidKnight Madness is back‼️. Observations
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Lining up some former players to judge the dunk contest as we speak!
Ohio State is here the following day so should be a full visitor weekend in both sports for recruiting.
I know it is a night for Rutgers Basketball but I would like to see the Rutgers wrestling team there and introduced to the crowd.
He was with the team today at their tailgate...
Hopes remain high for a quick resolution to his remaining eligibility concerns
Would love to see him in the dunk contest and get a look at a stout big for this year!!
[thumb2][thumb2] Yes ! if the Marvin Bagley (roughly 4 weeks) passage through the Eligibility Center can be any vague sort of suggestive benchmark (and it probably can't suggest much) - it does let us think the it is conceivable that positive word regarding Doucoure's status could arrive anytime from now on - no need for concern if it goes on a bit longer - patience is still the operative word - because each case can be unique - but it could reasonably be any time now.
Keeping hopes up that Mamadou Dourcoure hears good news this week - but patience is still the operative word
Also FYI - Friday September 29th is a bit ahead of the curve - from a calendar standpoint...
believe that the 'typical' date that this kind of festive event will be happening at many basketball schools will be closer to October 15th - imagine there will be a lot of "Freaky - Frenzy - Friday 13th - Midnight Madness" at various schools
So, while the NCAA Eligibility Center is inclined to portray themselves as some methodical metronome-like operation that simply proceeds through their tasks at at a steady pace - if they had any shred of a spike of a sense of urgency - it would probably be more linked the generic general time frame for the start of the official organized college basketball practice season.... meaning that if they had any inclination to say 'oh, let's push to wrap these up in time for the beginning of their practices' - (and I doubt that they really give it much thought) - the time frame that might come to mind would be that general mid October date - not the Rutgers MidKnight Madness on 9/29
For example - Big Blue Madness, the first open practice opportunity for UK’s 2017-18 men’s and women’s teams, is slated for Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.
most will be clustered around the October 15th date.

Yes, those who arrive first can grab the best seats. It's mainly geared to the students, though. The biggest drawback (to a guy like me in his early 50s) is the annoying music blasted at unnecessary decibels during most of the night. I'll probably still go, but I may bring earplugs. Also... get off my lawn. [laughing]

#MidKnightMadness
#MidKnightMadness is just 3 days away.
Time to announce the next two competition contestants❗️
Dunk: Deshawn Freeman
&
3-Point: Jake Dadika
Not at this time, no...
This sort of thing just has to wait until we win something, at least as far as the CC goes. Those dinners and banquets are tremendous for those who attend, but a trainwreck financially.
In order to do something like that again, we'd have to be virtually assured of a high number of attendees...Tough to make that happen right now...Even with the positive momentum
PiscatawayMike, I fully understand your points on the high noise level and I am much much older than you. I am looking forward to tonight.
Going with wife tonight and she loves the loud music (me not so much) and hoping we see plenty of RU BB fans joining us!!!
Please stop by the Court Club table in the lobby for a chance to win a official Rutgers game basketball autographed by RU legend and 2017 RU Athletics HOF Inductee Quincy Douby!
Free to enter, and select entrants will walk away with a free Court Club t shirt!

There’s supposed to be a new practice facility announcement on the big screen tonight. FYI.
That’s strange. Guy quit on the team and he’s at a public event for the start of the next season while he’s supposed to be getting ready for a season with another team.
"Dadika for three! Dadika!" Sweet old music.
Sanders won last year, let's expand what players we have beyond that for the fans etc...we all know Sanders can leap/dunk....
