Pike Enthusiasts

Given last year and the utter disgrace that is this season, what’s the rationale that Pike deserves to keep his job?

Yes…..I understand he’ll be here till 2030 because he’ll hold us hostage for the $3.5 million a year Hobbs promised.

He’s earned it. Huge many huge wins. Sold out RAC. Trips to Vegas, garden. Program hasn’t been in a better place.

Plus we have no AD to make that decision. lol

But he’s earned two years to get the team back to where it was.

Ace and Dylan Attitudes

We all know its not gonna happen this year. But if he doesn't straighten this team out I believe next year he's gone.

Agree 1000%. Pike needed to find players to compliment Dylan and Ace. But I just don't understand Dylan's lack of effort last night at times, especially defensively. It was an embarrassment. TV announcer called it out. Tape of this game won't do his pro selection order any good. That's for sure and his Dad ought to light into him over it.

He’ll get two years after this. He’s earned the right to fix the team if he wants it.

OT: Favorite Bingeable/ Weekly Show Right Now…

Season two of The Night Agent is now available on Netflix.
For those who don't know, Night Agent is based on a book, and the author (Matthew Quirk) is a Jersey guy. I stumbled upon the show recently and binged it on long flights, then looked into it more and realized I grew up going to school with the author in Monmouth County. Small world.

JMike

I have not been a big JMike fan, but he has converted me here recently. He plays more under control than before, doesn’t make as many negative plays as he once did, and is getting better at making shots near the rim and jumpers. He plays more in control than JWill who just recklessly races around the court like a squirrel on Meth chasing around for a nut. At this point, just start JMike and flip JWill’s minutes to JMike and JWill gets the number of minutes JMike was getting off the bench.
Hello!

Pike Enthusiasts

Nope, being in the BIG has been monumental for RU. OVER 78000 APPs for Rutgers new brunswick is unreal.The academic reputation of the BIG will never be given up.
That's great...how much are we going to ask NJ residents to pay?

Not sure how accurate this is.....
The Garden State lost 20,820 tax filers and $5.27 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI) during that 12-month period, the foundation said

Not to make this too political.....and i am on the other side.....what happens when a political candidate for governor says he/she is going to go through the state with a fine tooth comb and get rid of wasteful spending and lower taxes. Do you think it is going to be OK for NJ tax payers to be paying $50,000 for a backup center for the Rutgers basketball team?

Pony up or Shut Up

Next month starts Free Agency, or the transfer portal, or whatever you want to call it, and Pike needs all the resources he can get. We need impact players, not schlubs who take up space. Impact players cost 💲, which we don’t have enough of. Maryland fans ponied up and the majority of their scoring is from transfers.

Maryland Transfers Point totals From Rutgers Game
Rodney Rice- transfer from VT - 19 pts
Selton Miguel - transfer from South Florida - 17 pts
Ja’ Kobi Gillespie - transfer from Belmont - 14 pts

Our transfers are not contributing enough because we chose from the bargain bin. They are too inconsistent. The performance on Court is a reflection of our support or lack thereof and We are reaping what we sowed.

I knew we were F’d as soon as we lost Cliff. Only to watch him languish on the bench. This year, we must hold on to Somerville, and add the appropriate complementary players. Get the right players and we can get back to the tournament next year.
Al, I appreciate your RU fandom. But this is a crap post. The problem is the coach 100 percent.
