Stop the Whining and Look on the Bright Side...

...Free shakes tomorrow at Shake Shack! That's about all I got. Too depressed to make any serious posts and not sure I'll even be going to the rest of the games, other than Iowa, where I happen to have 4 tix and am taking my wife, son and his fiancee, none of whom care about sports, in general, or even Rutgers sports - they just enjoy the spectacle of the game a bit and don't care much who wins or loses, other than rooting for RU because they know how big a fan I am.

JMike needs to be benched like Martini

I agree. Just because he's been value add over Martini, people are losing their minds

He's a true freshman who sat out his senior year of HS. He's giving energy and effort and showing some bball IQ. Nice controlled drive and dish to a wide open Derkack for example. 3-3 1-1 from the field 7 points 3 boards... pretty much our best player tonight. Miles better than Martini without many minutes on the entire season to develop

You're being unrealistic if you're bashing Grant and calling him dreadful

Play the best......

Play the best and be fair to the rest I believe is one of Pike's mantras. Was he being fair to the rest playing Ace in the last minute down 20? He's got 2 or 3 walkons who bust their a%s's ever day in practice. Was he being fair to them? And why was Ace even still in the game?

One other point that may piss off the mostly younger fans. Throw out future NBA potential and Phil Sellers is still the greatest Rutgers player ever.

If you go to You Tube and search the title of a favorite rock song and the phrase "and reaction" you will usually find several "young" reviewers listening and giving their opinions on what they hear. Unbelievably, they have never heard many of these songs (maybe bits and pieces from sampling or something used in a commercial). They love most of the stuff we took for granted growing up and also bemoan what they have to listen to today. I have to admit, it is interesting watching someone who never heard "Roundabout" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" light up with amazement at what they are hearing. Brings me back to my own time when I heard this stuff for the first time.

Yes, I’ve been watching the music “reaction” videos on YouTube for a number of years. It’s interesting to see their reactions to songs from 40, 50 or 60 years ago. Sometimes I actually get irked at some of the older people who comment on the reactions. Some get cranky and write stuff like , “how can you not know this song” or “how have you not heard of this band? “ My thought is if there were older people reacting to new music today, how many would know anything about the songs or artists? The vast majority of the younger people who react to the older music are very thoughtful and interested.

We are dearly paying the price for lack of recruiting for three straight years

Program desperately needs a General Manager for which player evaluation is essential.

As Shack highlighted - past few years of recruiting have been awful as has been the portal - sans Cam Spencer.

Yesssss.... I've said this a few times too. It is essential IMO especially since Pike isnt going anywhere

It goes easy on Pike in the sense it's blaming him for not adapting to the landscape well enough.

Really the issue is that he has a fairly awful record of identifying/acquiring talent, especially in recent years

💯 and since Pike isnt going anywhere, Rutgers should hire a GM to deal with the portal and NIL fund distribution. It's not Pike's strength

Only assistant coach who should return is Jay Young.

Knight is overrated. There is a reason why he has yet to become a HC

Thompson and Smoke are a dime a dozen.

If Knight should become a HC - Smoke will be his top assistant.

Pike needs to make CEO decisions at the end of this season - not decisions based on loyalty. .

If a coach can't get players that he evaluated and recruited to do the things he needs them to do then he doesn't deserve to lead them. Everybody likes to talk about how much a buyout will cost us. How about how much we will fail to make if we keep him.

Some coaches have longer leashes due to their previous success though.

GAME 16 PURDUE: I don't care anymore

At this point, those smaller programs have become feeders for larger programs. You get a kid to develop for 2 years, and then they hit the portal and cash in somewhere else. At this point the only programs that haven't yet fallen victim to this sort of churn are the Ivies.

He will be an asset on the court for sure, the offseason just didn’t sit right with me. I’ll get over it if he’s good and less than $1 million to keep though

$1 mil for Lathan?!?!

If that's true, Rutgers is hopeless forever
