Wasn't recognized and this was ignored >"Rutgers rushed for 2,279 yards, its best total in the Big Ten era, most since 2007 and 10th-highest mark for a season in program history. The 175.3 rushing yards per game ranked third in the Big Ten for the team's best placement since joining the league."

I’m aware …

I’m also aware our defense is 17th out 18th on kenpom among big ten teams

So…my hunch is we will be focusing on defense and rebounding a bunch next season in the hope the class of 2026 adds more offensive backcourt threats

I like to see one portal player …spend the money on a 2 year swing guard that is good for 12 plus a game and can shoot 37% plus from three …..

Then roll with mark and powers in the back court and add class of 2026 kids

That should equate to about 2 conference wins with that roster.

Is the premise then that HC Pike has the worst luck in the world and just happened to end up with an entire roster of guys who didn't significantly and immediately develop into better players?

That's quite the coincidence.

Who under Pike has really developed into a better player? Ron and Caleb certainly. Myles too. Geo was interesting. I thought he played his best early in his career and never seemed to find another level. Or even really reach that one consistently. PM never really got much better. Cliff was so raw he had to improve by default. But he never developed any offensive game. There have also been so many recruiting misses that most washed out early in their careers. I am sure there may be a few others that I have missed who Pike did develop, but it feels like a really short list over 9 years. I am not sure the notion of Pike as the great developer is really as true as people want to believe.

The disgrace is a pacific time zone team in the B1G. Quite frankly it is a disgrace that we have to be in B1G and conferences should be by geography to keep traveling time and costs down.

Would be nice to put the genie back in the bottle and do this all over again.

Carino is mad that he has to stay up past his bedtime

One of the most incredible things I saw last season was Stanton stealing second base.
Even now I have trouble believing what I actually saw.

I believe that's called "fielders indifference".😄

There are 6 teams in the Eastern Time zone. Scheduling should NOT be that hard.

RU has played 6:00 games at home, so why can't the four teams in the PCT, when playing the teams here have 6:00 tip offs? 9:00 is much more manageable. When those four teams are playing in the EST, its a 9:00 tip off our time when in the middle of the week.

Considering these games are joined up with a second game, one mid week and one on the weekend, its really shouldn't be a huge difficulty.

It's for TV.

BTN gets three games in one night, 6:30/8:30/10:30.

It's all about content. Fans that have to get to a 6:30 tip in NJ rush hour be damned. Fans having to stay up past midnight to watch a game be damned. All about the greed at the top.

Everyone

A non-story. Perfectly appropriate tip off time.

Putting aside Richardsons kid and how much more impactful he was than Derkack, please explain how Jamichael Davis was the best player against Princeton, given what lee and jhe other player did to RU

"This is a nice transfer to get out of the portal for the Scarlet Knights who had trouble running the ball in 2024".

Now I know we run it more than most, but we had the 2nd leading rusher and the third most yards in 13 games in the B1G. Where do media types come up with this sh*t?

Expansion to 14 is idiotic. There are 4 rounds. Max it out at 16. Byes are really unfair in my opinion for football. There are not enough games to objectively compare two resumes and make a decision as massive as that. An extra game when there are only 12 games to begin with is a very big deal. Everyone in the playoffs should play the same number of games. At least in my opinion.
