OT: Drones over NJ?

What happened was it was always a dumb public hysteria spurred by viral claims with no basis in reality. Listen to her statement. Hobbysits, recreational, etc. Additional sightings spurred by "curiosity." 99 percent of the sightings were planes lol. We learned that NJ is full of extremely dumb people.
God you're so stupid. Take the L

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

So then why are Simpson and Woolfolk on other teams ? NIL LoL ? Shelby will tell you why. They were informed there’d less playing time with the incoming freshmen and the pursuit of shooters and offense improvement generally. We also know why Davis was retained.

So no, this dumpster fire isn’t due to NIL shortcomings. It was due to changing the philosophy away from defense and ridding the roster of those kinds of players (keeping only Davis unfortunately as a favor to Ace) and adding 4 stiffs who are too slow and can only hit wide open jumpers which the offense doesn’t create for them anyway since Ace and Dylan are only looking to compile gaudy ppg for the draft.

Since the two stars are not paid with RU NIL (were free to RU) of course we had enough to target better players than we got.

The issue isn’t that we changed the defensive philosophy. It’s that we don’t have adequate personnel to execute our new more offensive oriented philosophy. We don’t have enough kids who can score.

Had we had adequate NIL, we would have landed better transfers and would have had more players who could consistently score.

I was thinking the other day, what happened because they just disappeared even tho I don't live in a no fly area.

All I've seen for many weeks is the occasional one going out over the ocean and back,

Ace wasn't playing well back then though so we were pretty much a one man show. Like we are now. The fact that we are playing at basically the same level over the past month as we did over Nov/Dec is actually evidence that there has been a lot of improvement since we've essentially been missing what was our best player by a wide, wide margin.

Now that's not to say everything would be all roses if Harper were healthy; we still dug ourselves a pretty big hole at the beginning of the season. But I think it's pretty reasonable to think that the team, as of 1/28/2025, would be at least a bubble quality team with a healthy Harper.

THE OFFICIAL 2024-2025 NET RANKINGS THREAD

the reality is our net was bad around 84 after the Ohio State game before Dylan was hurt or flu ridden

had we not f'd around and found out by losing to Kennesaw and Princeton, the record would be 12-8 now and there would still be path
Wasn’t Dylan also healthy for the bad win v Seton Hall. That’s a NET killer too no?

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

Why was everyone we brought in a complete MISS?

BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE BUDGET TO BRING IN LEGIT TRANSFERS!!!

Look at the transfers St Johns brought in.
- Center from USC
- Guard from Seton Hall
- Forward from North Texas


So we rolled the dice and brought in kids, from the bargain bin, whom we thought had Big 10 potential. This year, our luck ran out. Tough to find a kid with Cam Spencer impact.

The way we’re choosing players from the portal, it’s like we’re playing craps. This year we rolled a 7 out.
There’s been transfer misses from before NIL. From before Spencer.
