Listen to Richie’s podcast. The kid is worried about PT next year as he should be if we succeed in bringing in a handful of proven players. It’s out there on the podcast for all to hear. This isn’t about a NIL check somewhere else which should come as no surprise. Gavin doesn’t have the resume for a big payday at this point. Those speculating otherwise are likely not correct.

This is long on hyperbole and short on facts. Sounds like she is being fed a lot of BS by Neocon warmongers.

Sure, this could be terrorism but she doesn't know shshit.

By the way, I’m not one of the guys that beats the “Rutgers doesn’t run an offense” drum.

If you watch the NCAA Tournament, MOST of the teams run the same sets we run — high ball screens, pick and roll, dribble penetration, iso ball, and the occasional down screen. It’s just that the tournament teams have better offensive players who can shoot from the outside and have the touch to convert shots in the paint and at the rim.

There are only a few teams that run highly complex offensive sets.

I can understand that...but unless it's something crazy I'd hold on to Gavin the risk vs the possible reward makes me think you should hold on to this asset.

I happen to agree with you that RU runs an offense and it's talent, but I'm not sure any of it is debunked by this post. A good player is a good player, they get theirs. Many of these guys saw their #'s go down because they went to teams with more talent.

Eugene's offensive numbers at Oregon were far above anything he put up at RU, a TS% at least 5% higher than anything he'd done and his Efg% was like 10% higher. He doubled his 3PA rate and shot it much better.

Montez TS% and Efg% were both a decent amount higher at St. Johns than they were at RU

Young's career year was his final year at RU, no doubt

Mulcahy and Johnson weren't guys that shoot, they were both more facilitators.

Most of the above is probably more a result of maturity than anything else.

Breaking news.....a myth is being debunked with actual evidence that doesn't support the fans who think "RU doesn't run an offense etc..."....In order to make such a wild claim, shouldn't there actually be evidence supporting that item??

Here are the actual facts....there have been 5 known or relevant RU players in recent years who hit the portal.....and in almost all of them, the players produced at the same level OR their efficiency or production went DOWN after leaving RU. I won't bore you with the stats, the 5 players are

Myles Johnson
Montez Mathis
Jacob Young
Paul Mulcahy
Eugene Omoyuri

The argument that Eugene somehow learned offense at Oregon after a full redshirt season, while learning how to actually play basketball without doible dribbling as a freshmen, is pretty funny. So take Eugene out and all 5 players saw most of their efficiency or numbers decrease after leaving RU....that doesn't support the "RU doesn't run an offense, if others are doing it elsewhere, why aren't those players and their numbers increasing......HMMMM

Let's take a more recent comparison, since others claim that UConn "adjusted their offense.....they did not.....they adjusted and shed poor guards who were 4* kids and weren't efficient like Rashool Diggins (Umass) and Corey Floyd Jr (Providence)....which brings me to the horrible part of Cam Spencer....don't look, you may be shocked

Spencer stats for the most part are identical to last year, which collpases any argument about coaching, offense or anything, because Spencer numbers should be WAY better at UCONN, right?? WRONG.....

He averaged 10 shot attempts per game last year at RU....same 10 shot attempts per game at UConn this year

From 3.. .Spencer shot 43.4 at RU....he shooting 44.0 at UConn...

PPG 14.4 at UConn.....13.2 at RU...

Same minutes per game....31.5 RU, 32.7 UConn...

89.4 FT at RU, 91.5 at UConn with the same number of attempts per game (not a lot)

4.5 RPG at UCONN, 3.8 at RU

3.6 AST at UCONN to 3.1 at RU

Once I factor in that UConn is the overwhelming favorite and Spencer has the best roster kr supporting cast, does that support the argument on "Pike doesn't run good offense"??

I'll wait to see where the drastic difference in production is, to support that argument. The fact is, it is NOT a lack of coaching, it is talent on the floor.

If fans want to bang poor recruiting, go for it.....but if a 4th and 5th year senior season for Cam Spencer is essentially the same, the argument is essentially useless.
