Lathan Sommerville/Rashod Kent

But Ollie Bailey was listed at 6'7, (meaning 6'6) 25 pounds lighter and definitely didn't have as good of foot work and his free throw shooting was only average...................Sommerville's free throw stroke looks excellent.......so not a good comparison...........I know your premise is that he scored in double figures in his first handful of games...........but from a talent perspective and just the overall scouting/eye test of his skill set early on...............there is a lot to be excited about.
Somerville is way to slow being bogged down by his need to immediately put the ball on the floor when catching. At least 3 times last night where he did this. A little disappointed that the staff had now had him for 2 or so months and he hasn't been programmed correctly.

Basketball Rutgers fends off NJIT behind Destiny Adams' career game in foul-filled win

Nope, didn't watch a minute, so what impressed you so much about a low D1 team that was 12-18 last year and 4-12 in a weak conference? While this is a new year, last season NJIT played two high D1 programs and lost by 47 and 44 points respectively, but please enlighten me on why this was a valid test and why you're so optimistic about 2024-2025?
You said, like implying it would be a waste of time to watch the game , , why should you care
what Choppin has to day about it.
Obviously you made yore mind up about this years team without the benefit of seeing them play and it would be a waste of time trying to explain to you how the team seems like it might be better than last year and might start playing conference h=games more competitively is why fans like Choppin like to watch the team play .
Those who really don't support RU WBB might wonder why the RU WBB team has people supporting them and wanting to see them play because they are not winners (yet)
That's because we hope to see improvement , even if the wins against the better programs will be hard to get

RAPID REACTION — St. Peter’s

Yes . They got 1 call right. Stop dying on this hill. Everyone in the arena saw how bad the refs were tonight and it wasn’t both ways . If was almost all in favor of St. Peter’s and almost always against Rutgers. I hardly ever in my history of posting discuss the refs when usually there are tons of things to point out why a team won or lost. Last night was blatantly one sided bad.
case closed then

OT: Airport sightings

Not a name RU football fans may know, and not airport but ran into former RU women’s hoop player Vicky Picutt in NY Penn Station about 10 years after she graduated and she was heading back to Philly where she was asst coach - maybe Temple??
Picott is an assistant head coach at Houston now. She's been around as an assistant coach all over the place over the years. Never saw her play in person as it was the Greztz era.

OT: Airport sightings

Walking through EWR this morning catching a flight to Portland, ME and who do I see but Shamus from WWE

Guy is huge, but didn’t look in the mood to be bothered, so I left it alone as I didn’t feel like getting laid out at 7am

Other famous people I’ve seen on planes or in the airport include

Jack Cust - MLB
Trech (naughty by nature)
Dolph Ziggler - WWE
Henrik Lundquvist - NHL
Matt Simms - NFL
Some big ass kid that went to Tennessee in CLT
VT d-coordinator in Roanoke
Tons of FSU guys / recruits at TLH
Marty from ESPN
Vanilla Ice

All were super cool sans the VT guy, especially Ice and The King - I even felt bad for calling him Henrik No Cups during his playing days

What say you, any famous people you’ve seen in airports or on flights?
Hah, good thing you didn't bother Sheamus fella or you woulda been on the business end of a Brogue Kick!!
