Holy smokes!!!

D1 wrestling is such a simple formula = great coaching, lots of NIL money, or both. We don’t have either although I don’t think SG is a bad coach he’s just not the guy to take on DT and Cael in a family’s living room. There is so much talent within a 3 hour radius of RU we should be a top 10 program every single year.
Can't disagree. NJ wrestling imo is top 3 or 4 in the country. Rutgers might not be as big of a giant Cael was seeking to awaken when he went to PSU but Rutgers imo is one that could and maybe should always be in top 10 and some years challenging to get a trophy. They pack their matches with fans. Have nice facilities. The foundation is certainly there.

We watched Latham for an entire season

Did he always pass the ball when he was double teamed, or did he try to score himself?
Did he take three point shots with a percentage of around 10%?
Did he ever look for an open teammate?
Was he a rim protector or was he consistently lost on defense?

The bottom line….not a good teammate, but worse, a selfish one.
He was a frosh that any decent coach would be able to correct, mold over the course of a season. Nothing new.
He played the coach for what he wanted and got ..

Interesting tidbit about revenue sharing

I'll get back to you on that. It's in the NIL link I've posted at least 4 times now. As I said the first 85 don't. Over that yes.

If I'm wrong please explain this to me..


$2.5 million of (the $20.5 million) can go into increasing scholarships,” Alford said.

Within the House Settlement is a provision that allows schools to increase the number of scholarship opportunities to the full roster of players and count up to $2.5 million of those scholarships towards the $20.5 million cap. Rather than 85 scholarships in football with 20 “walk-ons” with no scholarship aid, FSU has the option to now fund full scholarships for all 105 football players if it chooses
Oh, I didn't know that the additional scholarships count against the cap -- thanks! I wonder how many schools will use up their cap money on scholarships for kids who are not that likely to turn into starters.

OT: Fonseca: Lathan Somerville has strong initial list

Who said Pike can't evaluate talent. Seems like a bunch of his players have or will be sort after.
"Sought after". Agree that Lathan, at least, is a big loss. Makes you wonder at the BB knowledge of some on here. He was our third best offensive option (could argue for Acuff) and worked hard. He was only a freshman and to be thrown in to B10 play and handle it the way he did deserves praise, not derision.

Do any RU baseball fans remember Maximus Martin?

He transferred to Georgia State two years ago and had a mediocre year. This year he transferred to Kansas State and has exploded. He is leading the Big 12 in home runs with 11 and is fourth in batting at .429. He is leading the Big 12 in slugging percentage by a couple of hundred points and is seventh or eighth in the country. I know he was not popular with his teammates here, so I can’t be too upset he is gone, but damn!! This guy has one fewer home run than the entire team and has a slugging percentage equal to the two highest on the team put together. Adding one of the 10 best overall hitters in the country to the lineup would’ve been nice!

Among last year‘s transfers, none of the pitchers are doing anything. The catcher, Jackson Natali, is hitting well up in the 300s but wearing out the backstop in Cincinnati. Scotty Young is doing well as a part-time at Old Dominion.

Tbh a lot of psu posters have clowned on RU but I don’t pay attention to who. The main culprit is Matters tho even tho he claims to not be a RU hater lol.
Yeah... he's definitely known for that. I play off of it with him from time to time because I find it interesting that he trolls them so much while most of us are indifferent. That may change if Rutgers becomes more of a threat. I always did agree with you that PSU fans should want to see the kids we don't get go to programs like Rutgers instead of teams like Iowa and OSU.

OT: Coach Prime lands record-breaking contract extension with CU Buffs

Uh oh. How dare you compare any other program to Rutgers!
Rutgers is and has always been a unique situation and can't be compared to anyone else in the world!

Funny how the experts are educating you about Colorado.

It's actually really funny.
If anyone tried to say Syracuse and Donovan McNabb had "stain" still they would he laughed at and mocked.
"That was 30 years ago. Nobody cares. Current players weren't even born."

But Colorado and Eric Bienbiemy are still relevant 35 years later.
Flags fly forever

Nobody gives a shit about Syracuse because Syracuse never won anything of significance

Deion went knowing there was potential there, and knowing that if he came, the money would flow in

It’s cause and affect from the previous success they had, not because he likes sking or had a special affinity for Ralphie

Recruiting

Never heard that about Dean. I have never seen him pout or not give max effort in the room. The staff has never said a bad word about Dean he hasn't been an issue at all.
Heard this directly from someone who has wrestled with Rutgers/SKWC but is not a current team member. Have also heard this among shore conference wrestlers around the time Dean was at Vianney
