I know... I said that they were pretty bad in my post. But it was a nice overall game and double double by Jacob regardless. Some people like to point out when he has a bad game, so I mentioned that he had a good game today. Thursday's game vs Colorado will be tougher.
So you’re saying tomorrow he will have:
4 PTS 1-11FG 0-4 3PT, 2-4 FT, 2 RB, 1 AST, 0 STL (4 TO) ?
So entertaining, but so inconsistent.
Who knows... Colorado has been playing well lately, so maybe your prediction won't be far off, but I hope Jacob has a decent game. He had 11 points on 5-15 shooting in a home loss to Colorado in January, and then was Oregon's leading scorer with 21 in Oregon's win at Colorado 9 days later.
Apparently, JY's growth plates haven't fused yet. Amazing work by Oregon's strength, conditioning, and growth program.
Shooting numbers down across the board. Steal rate down. Assists and turnovers both down, owing to Oregon using him off the ball more.
I don't think there's any case to be made that Pikiell misused Young, unless you think Shaka Smart and Dana Altman also misused him. Young was an electric athlete but only an okay basketball player.
In Jacobs’s defense, the offense was run through him and he dominated.
I hope that JY enjoys watching the big dance this year!
No reason to be killed. Nothing warranting a lock is included. It will die a natural death. This might be the last time it’s brought up.
We made the dance! The highest profile unexpected transfer did not. Pretty cool story! And I love you JY! Hope you come back and get honored at the RAC one day, no hard feelings!

No Young, no NCAAs last year. And he always brought 110%. I don't think his time with Oregon went quite as expected, but he deserved to start every game on a high profile program and got that opportunity. Best of luck to the man.
Thread should live. It can be taught to future posters on just how wrong someone could be.
Or he quit on us because he thought the grass was greener.
I would have liked to see JY in the dance. He is the type of player that can get hot and carry a team.
Grateful for everything he gave here and wish him nothing but the best. No need for Rutgers fans to be joyful he missed. We made it. Just celebrate that

He didn't quit. He was going to go pro and changed his mind.
You can call it what you like but he was a member of our team and was gone the minute the buzzer went off against Houston.

Truth is we missed jy and jy missed us
I love what JY did for us and him as a player but I am still not sure we do better this year with him. Must a maddening player and we already have a lot of them.
You were still very wrong about Pike not getting the best out of him but let's just enjoy that RU is in tourney for back to back years.
Oregon is a #5 seed in the NIT vs Utah St

NCAA basketball: 2022 men's NIT bracket revealed as Dayton, Oklahoma, SMU and Texas A&M get top seeds
The 32-team tournament culminates with the title game at Madison Square Garden on March 31.
Clearly they were not near the bubble at the end. I won't pile on JY, he was my favorite guy to watch on last year's team because of his style of play.
Despite Oregon's hideous colors, it doesn't strike me as unreasonable to point out that on the evening of March 13, 2022 - the grass does look greener on RU's side of the fence.
I am just shocked by this. When you are misused and then the offense is run through you, which leads to your world domination, this should never be the result. 😉
…the NIT (on the road) 🤣🤣
whatever that posters name is probably punching air and mad we are in the tourney. F U bud

Unnecessary. JY was a key player for last year's NCAA bid.
This is not a pile on JY but on this poster. What a f’ing dummy this guy is. You’d think someone that watches so much basketball would have any semblance of what he is talking about.
instead this guy showed up a couple years into pikes tenure and thinks he’s red Auerbach. News flash…. Maybe the guy that brought a program from the dead knows what he is doing.

Loved JY when he was here and didn't wish him ill will at all, but like I said in another thread on this, I didn't want to see him and Oregon making the NCAAs. Call me selfish, but I just don't want to have people (and current/future RU players) thinking that the grass is greener elsewhere and that they will benefit (from a team success perspective) by leaving. I want players who want to succeed at Rutgers. Excepting guys who transfer for playing time (Kiss, e.g.) or for personal reasons mostly (Myles).
Delete this OP before you further embarrass yourself
I decided to look up both players current stats ( min. played & ppg ) and compare them to last year. They are nearly identical. I guess the coaches at Oregon and St. Johns don't know what they're doing either.
JY
RU - 30.1 mins played, 14.1 ppg Oregon - 30.5 mins played, 12.1 ppg
Actually scored more with slightly less playing time while at RU
Mathis
RU- 21.2 mins played, 8.3 ppg St. Johns - 24.4 mins played, 8.2 ppg

Kyk is wrong a lot though. He doesn’t like pikiell and that blinds him.
every post is a post to either directly or indirectly bash pikiell. Hence why he really only comes around in bad times
I will always root for Jacob (and Myles and Montez) . They helped us get our program to a new level . Same with Peter . Those each chose , each for different reasons …a different path for their future.
The negativity here from some ,
Both against the transfers , and against the staff , is ridiculous .
Have some freaking class and respect for all parties ….

I didn't even realize it was a Kyk thread since I have him on ignore. LOL
This is exactly why in another thread I said he has become a troll. Sure he is an RU fan but since beginning of Bball almost all his threads are direct or indirect swipes at pike that purposely provoke the rest of the board.
