For some reason everything is a week late in 2019
NCAA traditionally start this past weekend
Are we 52 weeks away from RU having their name called on selection Sunday?

With the addition of Yeboah ...Thinking that our chances to dance next year are a legit 50-50....maybe closer to 60/40

The goal should be the NCAA but if we fall short, the NIT will happen. I think Mulcahys presence is the difference maker but this is his first year so plenty of growing pains will happen.
Regardless of NCAA or NIT, the reason we should all be excited is that the 2020 recruiting class will have at least 4 openings and the post season appearance should translate to landing upgraded talent. We have upgraded talent now but I think it ticks up to new level we’ve never experienced at Rutgers.

Great get for us! I had a good feeling Pikes was going to close this one. Got a little worried when Young left for FU. I know he was the lead recruiter on Yeboah at Stony Brook. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves on dancing next year, but no question this team will be fun to watch & may be a great national story!
Well, for what it's worth..... We won't be breaking in five players next year who hadn't played in the B1G (Carter, Johnson, Mathis, McConnell, Harper Jr.) but will add a Grad Transfer (Yeboah), another transfer (Young), and at least one Freshman (Mulcahy). In my mind, we're ahead of last season already.
Yeboah and Young have logged minutes at this level (maybe not the B1G but the speed of the game shouldn't be a shock) and for some reason Mulcahy's swagger strikes me such that I don't think the game will be too large for him but it'll still be a transition.
So, given the five I first mentioned having a good year of B1G experience plus the trio we've added spells, to me, a lot of optimism for us, and a lot of headache for opposing coaches!
Let the Chaos, Mayhem, and Wide Spread Panic begin!!!!

I’d go 70% NIT or better; just under 50% NCAA alone.
Las Vegas would put it at 15-20%.
We need to beat the teams we are supposed to beat. We need to come out of the gate.

AND, Destroy Seton Hall at the RAC on 12/15.
There will be pressure with this one and USC. Not a lot of time early for new players to get their feet wet in a low stress place.

For change, we aren’t going to be an experienced team. Experience isn’t the issue, how fast we can come together and develop some chemistry.
Do not underestimate the effect of the European trip in June to jump start that process

We are very fortunate to be having this game at home this season. We need to pack the RAC big time.
If healthy there may be multiple players not happy with their role. Will be not an issue if we win.

Cart ahead of horse. If you had said "maybe" instead of "Will be" I would have been more on board.
For the record
I’m the one saying that we should have a 8 man rotation ... with guys 9 and 10 (one guy playing the 1,2 and 3 and one guy playing the 4 and 5) getting their minutes when there is foul trouble from players 1-8.
