From the day Ace committed until the 2024-2025 portal opened pike had 400+ days to build the NIL war chest

Factors impacting Rutgers disappointing season:
1.Harper flu illness and ankle injury
2.Failure to recruit a experienced center that could score and defend
3.Coaching staff failure to install a half court offense based on player and ball movement instead of iso offense
4.Williams lack of consistent scoring as the third scoring option
5.Initially poor rebounding and foul shooting
6.Abysmal 3 point shooting after 3 transfers brought in specifically for that need
7.Bench scoring was lacking until recent games.
8.Losing games to Kennesaw State and Princeton
9.Home court advantage at the RAC and MSG hasn't resulted in enough league wins
10.NIL and transfer portal a non success
11.Absence of AD and University president assistance to ensure this season with high media attention would be a success

From the day Ace committed until the 2024-2025 portal opened pike had 400+ days to build the NIL war chest

Pike needed a n Athletic Director who would do his job & support raising NIL money, something that Pat Hobbs refused to do
Bingo Hobbs and NIL were not peanut butter and jelly and definitely peanut butter + jelly + gold ( I see ya Snoop). This has been said multiple times from folks who know on the board and yet like so many other things it hasn’t sunk in yet for many. Our AD just when NIL was getting going and needed to be embraced did not embrace it. Put us in a further hole when combined with a non giving fan base.

Hmmm shouldn’t we have thought Simpson as a sophomore would get benefit of doubt. I don’t recall him getting that benefit.
Slightly better rebounder? Simpson triples Davis rebounding. 4.4 to 1.3
Steals Simpson leading.
Simpson and Davis identical shooting percentage from field.
Simpson much better from three and the line.
Wonder how Simpson would have done with assists with Ace? Anybody on St.Joes as good as Ace or Dylan? I do wonder how Simpson might have done. Will never know.
Does sound like a victory lap after two games.
Glad JMike improving. But lots of cherry picking stats too if being truthful.
