Hey, I'm sure you truly believe everything you say. I saw a graphic but I don't know how accurate it is. Have to be careful what you believe on the Internet but according to the graphic pilots, engineers, mechanics and air traffic controllers are still at least 80% white. Not sure about the CIA but I'm willing to bet that the CIA and every other agency is majority white by a overwhelming margin. You may think that minorities are taking over but that's only because they are paraded out on the front lines to show off the diversity of the company or agency. The spokes person, you guys see black people on ESPN, some shows even have nothing but black people working them, you see black coaches and black quarterbacks in football. All of that is a culture shock for you and I get that. But just as you say china is influencing people or entities to want to be more diverse. I can say outside nations are taking advantage of a society trying to integrate different cultures within one America. And I have just as much evidence of that as you have...

Lol. You really don't know. This is all conjecture. I have friends with family members currently in the AF. Their son just got into the AF academy. One family member who is actively serving (female pilot) strongly recommended that he should not become a pilot because they were so biased in selecting/promoting anyone other than white males.

Hmm Bo said on FRL that his offers were no where near the $5 mill rumors and that it was laughable although he wished it were to be true.. he said all 4 finalists had comparable offers…

If it really was 5 million I guess he was just saying in front of the cameras it wasn’t true for some reason.

Iowa likes to keep a lid on the ridiculous money they’ve been throwing around , especially with Mineo always putting the numbers out there every time a new transfer goes to Iowa , I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked Bo to not out them

Believe we were 12 last week too. So no movement after the Minny loss.

My stat line in the last 11 games is

30 assists to 5 Turnovers
6.6PPG
2.7 APG,
10 of 29 from 3 PT range (34.5%)
19 steals (almost 2 steals a game)
7 of 12 from FT line (58%)
22 minutes a game.

I dont think it matters that JMike is a starter or not, as long as he generates that type of productivity next year, he's then a reliable bench player, at worse.

The question would be strictly on whether he can maintain the trend line of shooting 34% over 30 to 35 games next year, with more shot attempts.

I am fairly certain that Lino Mark can generate 7 to 8PPG, 34% from 3, 70% from the FT line in 20 to 24 minutes a game. Add another guard that also shoots 34% from 3, and RU is much better next year.

Right now, RU has Derkack shooting 26.3% (10 of 38) from 3 and JWill shooting 22.6% (7 of 31) from 3 and in a dozen or so games last year, 5 of 24 from 3 for JWill in 2023-24. That's 12 for 55, which is very tough to overcome (21.8%)....

Keep in mind, Tyson Acuff is shooting 37.5 from 3 this year (23 of 61)....so we don't necessarily need to find some elite 47% 3 point shooter to be effective, just not 22 to 25% range.

What makes Derkack and his skill sets so enticing is he has 3 games (ND, MSU and Ohio State) where he's 8 of 14 from 3....in all the other games, he is 2 of 24 from 3.

It's about being somewhat consistent or reliable. JMike has 11 games where he's trending up, but he also has another 10 to 14 more games this year (depending how things go) to solidify those numbers.

RU 78 IL 77

RU 76-73. Our most complete game of the year

I would rather be 15-7 with new players than 11-11 with players I recognize, but for a given record I would rather recognize the players.

Thus, I would overall prefer more continuity of players even if that doesn’t mean I want 100% of players to stick around 100% of the time.

Well said here.

At the end of the day, it’s about fit. Schiano and Smith have worked together successfully, and should continue to do so.

The more I think about it, the more I like this hire. I hadn’t really followed Smith once he left. It sounds like he did a great job in his one season at Duke after he left us and then chose to take some time off to spend with his family. Why are some folks referring to him as a “dud”? Throughout his career,his first year track record as DC has been excellent everywhere he’s gone except the Covid year. And we have a great pipeline lined up. What gives?

Not sure if that is "Vitaminwater guy" Mike Repole in the image or not, who by the way sold Bodyarmor for more than he sold Vitaminwater.

What I do know is the NY Post reported last night that Mike is matching NIL contributions to St. John's collective up to $1 million. Donors giving $25,000+ get dinner with Mike and Rick. $10,000+ gets donor and 2 guests access to MSG luxury lounge for entire next season.

Would be nice to see Rutgers athletic department and the school's larger athletics donors generate excitement and publicity like this.
