Dylan imo…. We win both games with him healthy

Recentering this thread… I think there’s a chance that we win both with Dylan playing, although I don’t think Ace goes for 39 alongside Dylan nor does he help our defensive rebounding incompetence much.

But ultimately this is what happens when you lose to, much less even fathom scheduling, games against Kennesaw State and Princeton. Guys get sick and guys get hurt during the course of a season, but its not really bad luck when you’re playing do-or-die games in early January

Pike just too nice

Yea Pike’s too nice. He let Martini play a lot against Princeton bc its his old team. Sorry this is big boy bball. I get not having him a complete DNP but princeton kept running picks to switch him to Lee and got toasted. Obviously Grant could have done a better job staying with Lee off a switch
Martini has not worked out. There is no way to spin it, but if he were to step up and be a huge value, it was probably vs Princeton. He obviously knows the team and offense. I would have relied on him too that game. The game plan to switch and not hedge or blitz on the pick and roll was a bigger issue. The roster has a bunch of one dimensional players and the coaches can’t put the pieces together or put them in the right spots. We are all searching for answers but there does not appear to be any.

Next Year

Dortch and Grant will have zero playing time tape to market themselves to go elsewhere. So unless they are real unhappy that that got zero run and have a strong relationship elsewhere, they should be back.

Lathan would be our most talented returning player and would be the offensive focus. But I can see him getting SEC NIL money

Desperately need to bring in experienced transfers in scoring and shooting next year if we are to compete, HIGH Major transfers! Cam Spencer is only low level guy that panned out
They will all enter portal. Watch.

Dylan imo…. We win both games with him healthy

Agree w everything you laid out! I think it’s more than the “flu”. Hopefully he’s back Thursday because as you stated JMike and Jwill are not winning us games
Some of this flu/ Covid crap has lingering effects and I know tons of people that felt like they got the shit knocked out of them for 10 days. The frustrating part is an 18 year old healthy person is still having the shit knocked out of him.

Dylan imo…. We win both games with him healthy

I certainly do know about his sickness and how it affected him, he was to sick and weak to contribute.
Your use of the words “making excuses” aren’t even remotely applicable to the situation.
Every human on this board feels terrible for Dylan and the obvious flu he had.
Not sure what you’re saying
I think the focus on the optics is stupid fan shit. He was game time decision at Indiana but the flu kicked his ass and he couldn’t go. He had 4 days to recoup but guess what the flu kicked his ass and he tried to play because he is a competitor but he was walking dead.
It is unfortunate , lousy for us Rutgers fans , lousy for the team. Costs is badly needed wins.
In order to have Rutgers win , we need a healthy Dylan to win. He was playing like the best player on the country. You do not take him off the team and realistically have a good chance to win , although ACE at Indiana almost willed us to win but got zero help from the supporting cast. He needs to become healthy and start attacking g teams again and then the winning will resume.

Eligibility Rules?

All possible scenarios given where this is headed. Next up players will sue pro sports and challenge the draft structure. Why shouldn’t a player be able to play for whatever team he wants and get paid as much as the highest offer? If a top HS player can pick his college and get paid top dollar, a top college player should be able to pick his pro team and get paid the max offer!
Pro sports leagues have anti trust exemptions which the NCAA does not have currently. So how they operate is allowable because of the exemption.

OT (Updated): The Saturday 1/11 Event Now Looking Like <1" with a Whiff Possible on the Low Side and 1-2" Possible on the High Side

why are using the term unlikely and why do you continue to use that useless NMB...its basically taking an outlier skewing the data

the ukie is a whiff, the euro is similar or even less than yesterday. The GFS is about 2 inches for central jersey and since it showed 2 feet a few runs ago maybe we shouldnt rally around it. The Icon is not a serious model. The CMC is on board but the GGEM isnt.

a potential for an event but its totally unknown at this point and just as likely to be a whiff as it is to give us 2 inches

Dylan imo…. We win both games with him healthy

What the hell are you talking about ? He had the flu and travelled to Indiana and wanted to play but minutes into the practice he realized he had no strength.
Pike expected him to get better between Thursday and Monday. Dylan wanted to play to help the team . It was clear to anyone in the gym he had absolutely no energy. Pike had him as a decoy in the three point corner almost the entire 15 minutes he did play but it was clear , he had no energy , no burst , no hops , could not beat down on defense. Extremely unfortunate because with ACE having an unusual off night a healthy Dylan would have been enough to win not just last night but against Indiana as well.
This strain of flu knocks the crap out of you and zaps your energy. We get very very unlucky as it appears Dylan and ACE are ready to tear into the league schedule.
We need Dylan back healthy , controlling things at the point , not in the corner as a decoy , and that will make things easier for ACE. Now with Acuff , Grant and Somerville let’s get some consistency and with our big dogs and anything we get from JMike , Jeremiah and Jordan is gravy because I have given up hope waiting for their improvement and just pray they limit their negative plays on the court.
