Cam doesn’t seem to be a Mick Cronin type of player but who knows? Maybe Cronin is looking for points with Jacquez and others graduating.UCLA, where Cam's former coach at Loyola is an assistant.

Possibly he had more than one conversation about NIL with RU and we said that was as far as we could goIndiana lol. He didn’t let Rutgers even counter. F that guy
Anybody here would do the same thing. Can't blaime the guy for looking out for his future. Not like he's going to tge NBA.I hope Quitta Cam ends up at Georgetown so we get him at The RAC.
He apparently didn’t give a chance to match, so no, not anyone here would do the same thing.Anybody here would do the same thing. Can't blaime the guy for looking out for his future. Not like he's going to tge NBA.
Lol you don't have to warn me about Cooley. But unfortunately this is the way things are done now. You better make sure all you're players are happy. I like Pikell but he got caught sleeping on this one.He apparently didn’t give a chance to match, so no, not anyone here would do the same thing.
Cooley gonna Cooley though.
Agree on that. It is what it is, probably a good lesson for everyone involved. Still very unhappy with Cam mostly based on timingLol you don't have to warn me about Cooley.

Not according to reports . There was no conversation never mind more than one.Possibly he had more than one conversation about NIL with RU and we said that was as far as we could go
Then better offers surfaced and he did not want RU to counter because he felt he was not being taken seriously enough
A slight attitude thing
I should clarify that there was probably a conversation or two early on, not now, and he was given a NIL deal that was not enoughNot according to reports . There was no conversation never mind more than one.
And on the flip side, schools are processing more players out as well. It’s a two edged sword. On one hand we a pissed when a guy leaves to upgrade, but we look favorably on three guys leaving so we can upgrade….the whole model has changed.All players are now one and done. The best part of college basketball - watching a guy develop over 4 years - is over. Now every game it’s gonna be “didn’t that guy play for us 3 years ago?”
but after proving himself on a bigger stage then he had at LOM Cam decided to go for the cash and since RU's NIL money wasn't top dollar ,Spencer decided to leave RU and go for the a program that offered more cash than Rutgers could afford.When are we going to learn that you have to do what it takes to win? Dog eat dog. Take nothing for granted. Rutgers is a soft touch. How can Cam not be here next season? Wasn’t one of the big reasons that Cam was a good candidate for us was that he could shoot and had lots of intangibles and had two years of eligibility?
If he goes to UCLA or Miami, then so be it. Going to UConn would make me sick. Oklahoma I can't see being a serious contender.Looks like we may lose our second grad transfer to the Bruins...

20/20 hindsight. The Rutgers program has to anticipate the rationale you just provided and do what it takes to keep proven contributors in the fold. Just from the timing of his departure you have to admit we were caught with our pants down.but after proving himself on a bigger stage then he had at LOM Cam decided to go for the cash and since RU's NIL money wasn't top dollar ,Spencer decided to leave RU and go for the a program that offered more cash than Rutgers could afford.
Cam Spencer is doing what he feels best for himself now, just like he did when he left LOM.
Rutgers can anticipate players leaving because of the price is right NIL deals, but if they can't pay what it takes, all the anticipation in the world won't keep the player unless his/her connection to Rutgers is unbreakable.20/20 hindsight.

Good possible call with Cam. 😂 Is Cam also an engineering major? 😂Looks like we may lose our second grad transfer to the Bruins...

Whatever major he is, he presumably tied up a spot in one of our grad programs until a few weeks ago…Good possible call with Cam. 😂 Is Cam also an engineering major? 😂
More like $250kIt has to be Georgetown. He’d be so foolish to go somewhere not in his home Maryland radius. He had a good thing going at Rutgers and lots of post college possibilities that Pike could’ve helped with whenever he was done playing. He’s taking a big chance here. Sure - he gets a one time $90k inflow - but let’s say he suffers an injury that hampers his next season but sucks up his eligibility. He has no brand then at his next destination. He’s not a priority for the one year rental coach. He’s on his own to build his post play career from ground zero then. I guess kids just don’t see past the immediate present.
