Ace is the only guy on the team who has consistently played at a high level. He was hurt early and rushed back from injury to ensure he was there for his team.

In my opinion Ace is to be applauded, he’s playing his ass off while being supported by massively flawed Frankenstein roster.

Shelby wouldn’t call it a Frankenstein roster. Frankenstein has useful traits. This is a ‘festering, dog diarrhea in August’ roster. No ambiguity.

Shelby can’t find suitable words to describe what next year’s roster looks like so far.

Grant is the only legit plausible Big10 starter on the roster now, including Sommerville.

College Coaches Call to Action to Save Wrestling

This, ^^^^^ Rutgers does a great job promoting wrestling. They are also very active in inviting youth teams, HS teams to their home duals(and a very steep discount)
Click to expand...
Yep. People can make fun of the Costco boys all you want. They’re social media stars and some of the most viral content creators right now. Inviting one of them to a match is an innovative way to connect to people who otherwise might not know a thing about college wrestling.

Is this team uncoachable?

I don't see the evidence that the team is uncoachable or doesn't buy into coaching. Ace takes a lot of midrange shots because Pikiell doesn't realize he shouldn't be doing that.

Other than that I see two freshman who are good enough to be major pieces on a good team (and yes this includes Ace now who has improved dramatically but this unfortunately had coincided with Harper being unable to play effectively) and a bunch of other players who are emphatically not. Michigan State has 8 players that are better than our third best player and those players are not the ones who supposedly can't be coached because they are going to the NBA next year.

Exactly. What “coaching” is Ace not listening to?
I must have missed where the rest of the team is shooting 3s all game but Ace is shooting mid-range 2s and messing up the plan.

If anything, Ace is following the coaching perfectly.
Every year we are towards the bottom of the Big Ten in 3pt attempts.

Does anyone really think the staff is looking at advanced offensive analytics and telling the players where they should and should not be shooting based on their particular heat maps? Or getting players shots in the spots they excel at?

It's already a well-established fact that God is not a fan of Rutgers Athletics. Unfortunately, it looks like his son is following in his footsteps.

Well we might say the same about Notre Dame.
Touchdown Jesus left the National Championship game early and was no help when he was needed most.
Also the final score made it look like God wasn't smiling down on the imitation Irish

As for RU : I say it's the devil's work that chaos usually shows up when the program starts looking like it is becoming one to be proud of .

Not defending pike it’s his roster and the negativity will obviously be severe but I think people will recognize that not having Harper functional is kind of a big problem.

Yea obviously, but he was there and it was still obvious (and the results were such) that even if he didn’t miss a single play, this team was very unlikely to make the dance.

And nobody is going to look back and care being quite blunt. We don’t get another chance at it. The opportunity to dramatically change the ceiling and course of the program will be gone.

If one believes the assertion that the AD search begins after new president is hired, the interviews would begin last this year, possibly October or November.

Amy Towers said the prez search would begin this month and take nine or ten months. That takes us to September or October.

The new prez will have a lot on the plate but with athletics a priority I expect the AD search to commence soon after the new prez starts.

Let's say the AD search takes 3 months. Then, Rutgers will welcome the new AD in early 2026.

Early Big Ten football starting quarterback rankings for 2025 season:

It’s a shaky list at best. While I don’t think AK is a great QB, I would take him over at least 3 of the guys listed in front of him. It a Wisky article, so keep that in mind. I like AK better than Edwards (Wisky), Chiles (MSU) and Mendoza (Indiana). Saw Mendoza play for Cal a few times, a little similar - I think AK is the better passer. Also, I don’t think Allar is the best QB in the B1G. He gets a lot of hype as a 5 star QB in HS. He looks the part, he isn’t that accurate a passer. In fact, put AK on PSU and I’m not sure their offense looks different. I like RU’s offense for next season. Have a solid core returning on OL. Think the WR group will be the best in at least 10-15 yrs. Now have a few TEs. A good group of RBs.

This. In addition to Strong and Duff returning we have several very highly recruited WRs coming in. Look for immediate impacts from 2 of them. This group will be as good or better than the 2006 unit.
