    When will CBB coaches get together and decide something needs to be done about this portal mess?

    The comp paid to college coaches and the size of their organizations should absolutely be on the table as well. You need to start the discussion at the BOG and President level to have any chance of change. I am not going to hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

    At what point as a Head Coach do you stop recruiting high school players?

    Very soon. You see certain football teams taking less HS kids. It’s even easier in Basketball where the HS kids may have to start at lower levels and prove themselves.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball wing Gavin Griffiths enters Transfer Portal

    We can blame Pike for the current state of affairs but any coach at RU is going to struggle in the environment. You think he likes this situation? You can’t build a program anymore just a one year roster. Until there are major structural reforms that put athletics back in its proper place at...

    Princeton Grad Student F Zach Martini Visiting Tomorrow

    I listened to the most recent pod where this guy was discussed. He was being compared to a guy from Southern Illinois who is going to DePaul and the part of the argument in favor of Martini was that the Ivy League is better than the Missouri Valley Conference. Not sure that is true. More well...

    I doubt it. Have you looked at the transfer paths some basketball players have taken?

    No. 17/18 Rutgers Men’s Lacrosse Opens Big Ten Play Sunday Hosting No. 13/11 Johns Hopkins

    Terrible sequence giving up that 5th goal. Stroller was getting intense pressure and then finally gets rid of it and they guy can handle the one hopper cleanly.

    NCAA Tournament Sunday Discussion Thread

    I have not seen Colorado play much at all this year, but wasn't #10 Williams supposed to be their best player and a high NBA draft lottery pick this year? He did not start the second half (fouls?) doesn't seem to be doing much from a quick look at the box score.

    NCAA Day 2 Thread

    Seems to me that we finished right in the middle of the conference. I guess other than being ahead of Minnesota, that was about where we were expected to finish. Could it have been better? yes, but I think the teams performance in the conference and NCAA tournament moves the trend line back...

    G League Ignite folding at end of year

    I thought this was interesting. Because of the proliferation of NIL, the NBA has decided it no longer needs to incur the cost of offering an alternative for 18 year olds who cannot enter the draft until they reach age 19. While these teams were not doing well record wise in the G League which...

    Wednesday Night Hoops Thread

    Colorado/Boise an offensive game that only a Rutgers fan can appreciate. They both seem to be trying to make UVA feel better.

    Ace and Dylan Recruiting Transfers...Allegedly

    Huh? Other than maybe Cliff, I am assuming this is all desired roster attrition. The problem is that unless we have a significant bag I am not sure we should be expecting proven D-1 talent to replace them. The names mentioned on this site based on who has entered the portal thus far suggest a...

    Ace and Dylan Recruiting Transfers...Allegedly

    Isn't college athletics great? Two guys who are projected to be here a total of 9 months are the general managers of the 2024 roster.

    Basketball Mawot Mag will enter the transfer portal

    I thought last year the rumor was that Hobbs was trying to lure him Georgia Tech after he left. He had already flipped Ndongo.

    Basketball Cliff Omoruyi to enter Transfer Portal

    What has Cliff done here to suggest he can be the focal point of an offense? I do think there is a decent chance that another coach is going to make this staff look bad by just getting him to be more fundamentally sound on both ends of the floor. One reliable post move and the ability to pass...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball C Antwone Woolfolk to enter Transfer Portal

    I was curious on how Reiber and Miller did at Charlotte and Oral Roberts this year so I looked. up their stats. Neither did very much to help their team. Both were in the rotation but not starters and the offensive stats were pretty bad averaging about 3 points a game. A bad RU recruiting...

    Teams Opting Out of NIT to Focus on Portal

    Not sure why you can't do both. At the end of the day, for many kids ,it will come down to the highest offer given an equal opportunity for playing time. The players will decide the pace of commitments to other schools not the programs. Technically, don't these kids have spring semester...

    Is HC Pike really going to turn heel?

    I think I am done with this. Like I said, I don't get the love fest for this kid purely based on watching the quality of his play for the last 4 years. I am not losing any sleep over who Pike has as his 13th guy. If it makes you feel better to have him sitting on the bench then fine. If he...

    Is HC Pike really going to turn heel?

    I don't equate "a solid back end of the rotation guy" with the last guy on the bench. Who has a rotation that goes 13 players? My initial comment in this thread was that I don't get all the love for OP. Everyone is posting their thoughts about who stays and who goes and there seems to be a...
