RAPID REACTION — Purdue

I’m going through this thread. Reading comp much or knee jerk reaction?

Think twice before you insult fans and stick to the argument.
Lol stop. Your post i originally responded to never said nor implied this thread only. He's getting bashed everywhere and you know it, but your knee jerk robotic response is the same no matter what is actually being said. The obsession is so over the top at this point it's strange

We are now 107th adj offensive efficiency according to bart

The funny thing is these last two games have an average defensive rating of 93.7, which when extrapolated out over an entire season would rank 15th nationally (I do think todays mark was more about Purdue missing open 3s than anything Rutgers did). The offense just conveniently fell off a cliff in that stretch, particularly cruel

Our defense has been solid the past couple games with the exception of letting virtually anyone cut to the basket for an easy layup or dunk.

Of course Dylan is a complete shell of himself these two games.

GAME 16 PURDUE: I don't care anymore

Who cares?? Pikiell is a coach that develops and doesnt need star recruits. His best seasons heave been with under the radar guys, that’s what he will need to get back to

It’s ridiculous you claimed he “gutted our program”.
Why is it ridiculous to say he “gutted” the program. The program had decent momentum coming into last year, he’s lost 15/20 games and has positioned Rutgers as the answer to a Trivia Question given his disgraceful ineptitude coaching a team with two lottery picks.

Can you please let this community know what Pike would need to do to effectively gut the program? If he burned down the practice facility as a demonstration of his solidarity with Pat Hobbs would that do it?

Get Real buddy.

GAME 16 PURDUE: I don't care anymore

Don't we want it to be gutted? The more players who return the worse at this point
Yes, if we had confidence he could do better. After misses like Simpson, Woolfolk, and Reiber , he tried to upgrade and couldn’t do it. I have zero confidence he could assemble a good team in the new NIL/portal world.

The Sad Truth

Would Pike really want to walk away from a 💩 ton of money?

Also as a competitor, would he really want to leave after his worst season ever?

I'm sure Pike believes in himself and wants a chance to turn it around

Good news is in the portal era you can overturn an entire roster in one season

Bad news is that it'll be tough to recruit after this year, NIL money, and past history of low hit rate on transfers

If I'm Pike, I'm going for long athletes who hustle and play D and finding a rim protector rebounding 5
I think this years recruiting class was him going back to the length. Grant, Dortch. Next years class also. He still needs a big though, but better to find those in the portal.

Only Rutgers

Not what I was doing at all. Just asking a question. Didn’t Painter start somewhere? You brought up a specific culture that we always criticized Pike for. He went offense and now we’re all pissed.
what offense

what he did was hand the program over to two players renting a space for the season to showcase their skills for the nba
