I think Zap was quoting Pike about Williams and O.What happened?
Basically just focused on the Celtics playoff run at this point…
I think it has been reported he only has 3 to play 3 so no benefit.This year is likely shot. We are not good. Maybe keep eligibility.
Hyatt has improved actually.Pikiell‘s “news conferences” are jokes. He says nothing meaningful and, indeed, misleads, e.g. ‘we are getting help soon.“
He should take a listen to Tom Izzo who tells it like it is, good or bad. He told us that this is an 80 point team. Derek shoots at 20% in a game and he compliments him. Has Hyatt improved?
Barkley? I’m not sure he could rebound a missed cookie-dunk into his milk at this point.😂The help:
Sheridan was granted his 10th year of eligibility and Charles Barkley was given a dispensation ,erasing the fact he went pro,so he can use hie last year of eligibility after he hits the portal and comes to RU
Mike - thanks. Knew you’d appreciate some great lyrics. 😂
Take a chill pill.We might have the silliest or most umappreciative fanbase in all of CBB.....OR never actually pay attention to anything the NCAA does or doesn't do.....how can anyone even discuss Pike, when you're dealing with a morally bankrupt and corrupt organization like the NCAA offices??
Yet, we have fans taking shots at Pike, who's total job description, is to speak to the positive aspects of people and players, even when it's truly not warranted.
On the eve of essentially the 1st national broadcast ever at RU for the RAC, which essentially completes another of "this will or could never happen at RU", this is the nonsense on this board.
A bunch of whiny, soft comments about Pike is low-rent and disappointing but in a way, not surprising.
Lol. Should the theme song for this year !
Yes, let’s hang the kids out to dry. It’s not a podcast when the coach is at a presser.Pikiell‘s “news conferences” are jokes. He says nothing meaningful and, indeed, misleads, e.g. ‘we are getting help soon.“
He should take a listen to Tom Izzo who tells it like it is, good or bad. He told us that this is an 80 point team. Derek shoots at 20% in a game and he compliments him. Has Hyatt improved?
Take a chill pill.
The entire premise is the NCAA is screwing us.
Nothing to do with Pike, other than he said we’ve got help on the way
maybe folks are just looking for some positive news and something to potentially get excited about for THIS year. Getting them out there and perhaps helping to win some games down the stretch would be welcome given our end of season downtrends last couple of years.Pike can say whatever he wants, it's up to you and others after 8 years, to know coachspeak and how to interpret each item said. We all know what the NCAA is about or isn't about. The NCAA is not about the student athletes and never have been.
My point remains intact....RU has literally no downside to this year or situation.
A) Recruiting is the solution and is on the uptick....
B) we have the best home court advantage and venue in all of CBB
C) we have nothing to lose today, with the 1st national audience, leading into NFL Championship Sunday. If there is a sports day to play on, it's today.
D) I've watched enough CBB to know one player simply getting into foul trouble can change a game....and so can am injury to a player. That's how I view "help is on the way",....whether Williams or Ogbole play today or at all this season, isn't changing what opportunities are around the corner.
Just turn up the volume today at the RAC and let it rip....with nothing to lose and a national audience and people hearing for the 1st time today, that RU has a Top 3 Recruiting class, matters.
Opportunity is just around the corner, time to get amped up about things, not worried one second about when Williams gets cleared....but I will say if and when he does, it's another piece to the puzzle now and beyond this year. Not a savior but solid enough to improve this roster.
This entire diatribe has nothing to do with the NCAA dragging their feet over Williams to the detriment of our team and the young man.Pike can say whatever he wants, it's up to you and others after 8 years, to know coachspeak and how to interpret each item said. We all know what the NCAA is about or isn't about. The NCAA is not about the student athletes and never have been.

No more than 5 wins…. we can keep it close but that isn’t what Rutgers needs. We don’t have a true go to guy that has stepped up.If they’re not back by Wednesday then they aren’t coming this year.
I get not throwing them in vs our 2 hardest games but pretty much every game after Purdue aside from @ Purdue is a winnable game.
Not saying we’ll win most of them but we could win any of those games
