Stop taking portal kids and follow Purdue, Wisconsin & Sparty

But why do I assume that? Last year we took the portal players we did because Spencer and Mulcahy left, for example. Did we want Griffiths to leave? Hell, did we want Simpson to leave?

"Retain your players" is great strategy.. if it's actually doable.

And it goes both ways.

Did we want Jalen Miller to stay?
Did we want Chol to stay?
Did we want Woolf to stay?

This whole strategy of "continuity" that everyone loves only works if the players are worth keeping.

Pike Enthusiasts

Sorry we are all upset but this is crazy. We are nowhere close to Jordan level. At least pike showed it’s possible to win here.
You don't know the worst of it and I liked Jordan. He had no discipline, no one went to class and we lost badly.That was a disaster, he had no control at all and Pike came in and turned it around. Like I said he still has a lot of earned good will that will last awhile with the board.

Pike Enthusiasts

A) he’s not holding anyone hostage.
B) he has proven to be a very good coach over the course of his career.
C) Rutgers owes him a lot of money
D) this season was a failed experiment. Given the chance to do it again everyone would still take Dylan and Ace.
E) NIL funds were not there for this year. Schiano didn’t have much either. Pike needs to embrace NIL (Like Greg did the past few
months) to get the right roster.
F) 2023-24 Pike got screwed with 2 starters leaving in May and the Mag Injury.
G) 2015-2018 he improved every year. 2019-2023 he built tournament quality teams. The past two seasons were unfortunate and a step backwards with departures and injuries. Progress isn’t linear.

He’s not leaving, unless he wants to.
The biggest negatives in regard to Pikiell is the inability to win conference games especially in recent years at the RAC.

Pike Presser

Saw it firsthand last night sitting behind the bench. pike was trying to coach and motivate but people weren’t into it. I barely saw much from the coaches
Most of the in game coaching is done by Pike or Knight in prior years. But this year the chemistry of the bench is way off. I sit behind the bench when I attend the games. I haven't seen Thompson or Williamson engage all year. On TV it's even worse because you can see their expressions and general disinterest in being there.

Do you agree with Mike DeCourcy?

Your guilt is showing, special status my ass. That's guys like you who act like experts and want to be treated as special since you think you know it all-- and that's my point.
What are you talking about?
By the way you show your cluelessness -- where did you get that shyt about academic donations,?
Uh, from your previous post?
And it's not only to sports but academics.

I give to both and by the way your so called minor league ( NIL) hasn't existed at RU until recently. I'm through responding to a duffus.

You aren't fond of anybody and you never post anything here that isn't bitching about what other people are posting.

Yes, my major reason for contributing money to a minor league professional sports program would be to help it win. If I donated six figures to basketball and this is what I got I'd be pretty mad.

Academics and nonrevenue sports are a different story but it's also a lot less clear why you think academic donations should give you special status on a basketball board.
