Pikell Just Sucks

auburn may be an exception…let’s use Rutgers as a base case.

Ace and Dylan- NBA
Acuff, Martini, Hayes, Williams- no eligibility.

Let’s then assume that the other 6 with eligibility choose to return and you have four freshman. If he can’t recruit two ridiculous scorers from the portal this years team will feel like 1976.

In short, if Pike can’t make the portal work he can’t be successful.

Not really - no 1 team in America Auburn.. only 3 transfers. 7 kids returned.

It’s not all about transfers and one and dones.

It can work if you have more NIL and a coach that maximizes talent. Pike has tried to build teams in the past that resemble Houston’s roster construction and play style (great defense, decent-to-good offense, great rebounding, etc.), but he’s just not as good of a coach as Kelvin Sampson.

It may be at hot take but the two tournament years for RU we would have easily been a single digit seed with a better coach in both of those years

The Nike difference.

Is it Nike or the RU AD?

It’s hard to find certain Rutgers gear and even when we had Nike they still kept it vanilla OTOH their Tier 1 programs always had a ton of stuff. I always figured it was something screwy with the licensing fees.

Try going on any of the Lacrosse supplier websites and looking for Rutgers gear. I can buy for all the Big Ten programs except for Rutgers.

In my opinion if this game was at the RAC where it should have been Rutgers wins…

NO more conference home games on a neutral floor!!

Not if we played and shot the ball the exact same as we did today. Have to disagree. If you tell me we play at the RAC, if Dylan is 100% healthy and that we don’t have long stretches of having no ability to score any points, then maybe I would agree. But, Dylan would not have been healthy at the RAC, Ace couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat today, and the team had long droughts of not being able to make a field goal and don’t see how that would be much different if we were at the RAC.

Sit Dylan

BOCA93
Dylan has been snakebite this year. I asked this in the game thread but how many other teams have had a 20pt scorer (not to mention the best player on the court nearly game) sidelined for 6-7 conf games? I agree with OP. Rest him and bring him back only when he’s 100%. It’s a F’ng shame we haven’t had him at full strength this year
