Cameron Spencer's parents with thinly veiled shots at the RU coaching staff and the Big Ten
- Thread starter Local Shill
- Start date
I tend to agree. There is always something to complain about. If he really wanted out why did he wait so long?
Many posters need to slow their roll on Mom and Dad Spencer. He is lucky to have concerned, involved, forward thinking parents. In fact I heard they, on Cam’s behalf, broke up with his current girlfriend and are about to propose, once again on his behalf, to a grad student well connected with ESPN in hopes on enhancing his NBA draft potential. Cam does have a say in where the four of them will honeymoon. Lucky Cam 😉
agree. just like this year Pike didn't seem to do anything to curtail the usual reckless shooting from you know who, but after the obligatory Cliff postup airballs the first two possessions each game last year, which took the term 'reckless' to a new level.
Lets assume NIL money was an important part of it.. if we pony up for Cam for one year.. do we miss out on some.. or even most.. of the guys coming in who may very well have been a package deal?
I wish Cam and family luck. Would have been nice to have him this year but with Mag's injury I don't know he makes all that much of a difference in the final results. I mean.. we lost in the first round of the NIT with him last year... and that is not a thinly veiled indictment of him... just means we underperformed with him and with a better cast than we have this year.
It's not as if UCONN is just any random program in the country either. Defending national champion and a top team in the country this season. Their success doesn't validate the entire Big East over the entire Big Ten. Rutgers beat Seton Hall. Purdue beat Marquette. IIRC I think even Michigan beat St. John's. We will see what happens the rest of March. As far as Spencer is concerned, I view it as he wasn't good enough to elevate Rutgers last season so instead of staying and working through it at the place that gave him his chance he ran to somewhere it was easy for him. I'd say I don't view him any more favorably as a pro prospect than I did last season. Possibly less.
i disagree. re: pro eval.....being the best player on a motley crew of good athletes on an at best average team is not the same thing as being the best player (or close to it) on one of the best teams in the country.
He'd at least get a bigger foreign contract, even if not a more favorable NBA look.
Edit....You realize that what your post did replying to my post just did as well, right?
Hard to turn down playing for the best coach in the country. Especially one who is being lauded for his extensive offensive sets.
This is stupid for multiple reasons. One, no one else is going to be to follow this point you’re attempting to make across multiple threads. Second, the claim “Hurley is the best coach in the country” is a lot stronger than “Pike tells his players what is expected of them.” The first is a strong claim that requires him to be better than 364 other people. The latter is claiming that a guy who has reached the highest level of coaching isn’t an extremely terrible manager.
You know you wanted to say this as soon as you asked a dumb question like “how do you know?”.
If you want to argue anyone is better than Dan Hurley right now after winning a national title and soon to be national coach of the year, make your argument. Don’t waste our time.
What is this like “I know you are but what am I?” Jesus you post like a 10 year old.
What?
The fact that you think the last guy to win a natty is “the best coach” and then I guess it will be some other guy next year kind of explains your terrible posting. For ****’s sake man, take a view longer than a goldfish.
I don't know of Hurley is the best college coach.What I do know is that UConn has five starters that can score 20 points which makes them difficult to defend.Their halfcourt offense with player and ball movement is totally lacking at Rutgers for a very long time.
You should know, you just did the same thing.
?
Oh no it’s so hard mathematically to win a post season tournament it has nothing to do with coaching ability it’s just large variance oh no oh no because of that I can never take a stand on anything oh no oh no
argue someone is better or join a math board
If you have someone in mind who’s won a natty, coach of the year, and took over 3 different programs in the crapper and improved them dramatically I will listen.

Wake me up in 10 years when he has that kind of track record of consistent excellence and we can talk about even putting him in the same tier as those guys much less tackling the unknowable question of “who is the bestest coach”
If the Spencers can't see the difference in class between Coach Pikiell and Hurley, I'm sure some of that poor judgement rubbed off on their spoiled rotten son. F$uk MR and especially Mrs Spencer and double F$uk Cam. He looked out for number one knowing what that would do to his team mates.

The guy never misses an opportunity to genuflect for Hurley, it’s odd.
RUSojo is one of this board's "one trick ponys". His trick is: Pick sucks. Pike doesnt run an offense. Rutgers dropped the ball not getting Hurley. Hurley is great
nearly every post he makes revolves around that theme.
Like all one trick ponys his act gets boring really quick.
Guy needs to be an equal opportunity complainer like the rest of us...
I don’t really have any issue with what the parents said. Guard play is better in the Big East. And he’s playing for the defending champs, showing he’s got NBA potential.
Modified the narrative slightly as necessary when facts proved him wrong?
Right. Got it. Thanks
Methinks that perhaps you don't understand what the term hypocrite means. My OP in this thread was what is known as an "observation"...which was then followed by my own insight (which you conveniently chose not to quote LOL) as to what Cam's mother might have been really referring to.
Fear not though for in case you might not have known, Google deploys free word definitions for you to get things straight in the future to help support your seemingly unending quest to be TKR's chief of the "Pedantic Police".
What I don't get is, it isn't like he entered the portal early or even on time, bc he wasnt sold on RU, and then Uconn was his best suiter.
He waited until after everything then got enticed by $$ and georgetown. So alotta this is bullshit.

His brother plays for the Santa Cruz Warriors and I get to observe him time to time. He too is intense, but his skill level and athleticism don't match that swagger he sometimes tries to show with that intensity. Plays hard though.
