Looks like a bullpen game on Thursday.

The only question will be if Leiter blows another one of if there is even a chance for a save?

If Carrasco is indeed starting, this could get ugly real fast.

I hadn't even realized you guys had signed Carrasco

The January 26, 1976 Targum reported that Paul Robeson, born on April 9, 1898 had died on January 23, 1976. He had won a four year scholarship to Rutgers and was the third black student the school ever had. “At one point, he was earning over $200,000 a year as an actor and concert singer and rivaled FDR as the American most respected by people overseas. He could speak 25 languages. A mountain in Russia (today’s Kazakstan) was named after him. Amazingly, many Americans in the late 1960s and early 1970s never heard of him… While Robeson was singing in Peekskill, NY in 1949, thousands of whites, spurred on by the local American Legion and newspaper, stoned the 25,000 people attending the concert as policemen idly watched. It was a disgusting display of America at its worst.” At that concert, snipers were seen on the hills surrounding the venue.

Some continuity is more important at guard. I’m hoping J-Mike will announce his plan to return soon. I know I’m in the minority , but I think that’s pretty important for us. He’s the most important player to keep. We need to surround him with scorers.

Anyone ever see the Mets in Boston?

Thinking about it.

I did, quite a few years back. I did a yearly trip with friends for about 5 years. One year, we did catch the Met's there.

Always a fun trip but my friends were cheap as hell. Stayed out of town at a "motel" nicer places but not what I would usually stay at. And they were not going to pay $$$ for beers at the game or at a bar and would always just keep a cooler at the room and sit outside drinking them. We always had bleacher tickets, so that was fun.

And it always cracked me up that no matter who they were playing- they were always selling Jeter Sucks t-shirts and would chant Jeter Sucks during the game- even when not playing the Yankees. I think that is why I hate our PSU chant. It seems so low level.

I don’t think moving “low skilled”manufacturing here en masse is a realistic goal. It’s also a cost intensive endeavor that would likely take 5-10 years for any company and a different admin could change the rules altogether and then what for the companies that made all those investments

I think that is absolutely the plan. Move most manufacturing back to America and revive the middle class and Midwest.

Saw that, he’s the only one to have him that high. Kiper posts more for clicks now then anything else.

Getting donors is part of job function of being a head coach. See what the mods have to say about Schiano getting funds.

Greg was able to get a lot of people who have zero to do with Rutgers to donate to the cause. They are truly deep pockets and it's a big reason why he had a top 10-15 portal haul and one of the best HS classes in program history.

Yes he is constantly looking for new avenues for more donors even with the current setup. The dude flat out gets it. If the AD can't help with NIL, he will do it himself.

You truly are laughable. Disagree with the Simp and he/she calls you Crackers. Weak tactic to attempt to have the Board join in with you.

It's part of the job now unfortunately. Schiano has said multiple times now a lot of his job is raising NIL funds and more of a CEO role.

Anyone else get the feeling that RUSpider is a Crackers alter ego

The RUT down 6%.

These two young men will be great successes in life in whatever they decide to do.

So he would have stayed at RU for $450K when Washington was offering him $900K........BS!!!

This time your not going to get away with saying I’m making crap up. Here’s the article which explicitly states that he’s a nice addition to their bench to spell Kepang:

Washington basketball adds Rutgers C Lathan Sommerville from NCAA transfer portal

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies have their first addition of the transfer portal in Rutgers center Lathan Sommerville.

uwhuskieswire.usatoday.com

By the way, I never said he has no chance to get the starting role. The guy he’s competing with only got 20 mpg on a Washington team that finished dead last. The point is the Washington media arm currently (as in real time market perception) projects him as the back up.

Click to expand...

In case your memory is not great , Great Osobor was their very good starting center this year. Kepang played as a back up. He is now in his 6th year and has been perennially hurt or gets in immediate foul trouble his entire career which started at Oregon. Osobor is gone.
Like most good teams Washington will have 2-3 Centers as today they signed some kid from Germany. As I stated before Lathan will either be starting or getting starter minutes. Kepang is more of an offensively challenged rim protector and I would not be suprised if Sprinkle played them together for some minutes.
By the way , it is not “I got you post “ but more actual facts and reality not what you post most of the time citing other sources. If Lathan got $900,000 because that is the present market value for centers with an offensive game then Pike didn’t understand the present market or he has someone better in mind. So far , we are no where near finding someone better. If Pike only wants to pay $400,000 for the center then the saying goes , “You get what you pay for “
