I have little to no confidence Steve will find the level of player required to compete in this league now. After watching so much basketball these past few weeks, I see levels of skill, coaching and accountability in other programs we simply do not have nor seem to be able to produce. Pike is a bottom 3 coach in the BigTen and the product reflects that.

Um, other schools are armed with cash too, most likely still more than us. Nothing changes.

You know what other programs have that we don’t? Talent! No amount of coaching was going to turn our transfers into Big Ten Level Basketball players.

So whose fault is that? Steve is in charge of evaluating personnel and getting guys he can win with. Plus, I do feel like Pike and staff did a poor job getting the most out of the players we had. This team had enough components to be better than they were.

It's hard to believe that RU is playing the same sport as some of these teams on both ends of the court.

You can’t get guys you can win with if you don’t have funds.

We don’t have nothing. We just spent what we had on guys like Acuff. wrong decision.

Pikiell knows the program is in trouble so he tries to spin a narrative that with the NIL money available three difference maker recruits will choose Rutgers.Politi states 85% of last seasons scoring is gone and the response is emphasis on defense.Watching the tournament games successful teams are those talented at both ends of the court.I really feel sorry for Pikiell because he is a great guy and supporter of Rutgers University.At the same time college athletics are changing and Rutgers is now viewed as a bottom feeder.

And placating Lathan and not getting Ewin.

Bottom three - who are the other two?

This article and headline implying that we’re armed with a huge amount of cash is comical

We’re allocating some revenue sharing that everyone else has

Politi is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Changing your tune GW Lovesick of La Mancha ? A golden fieldhouse that would give Tutankhamun an even more glorious afterlife than his pyramid tomb will certainly transform football and basketball players from rusted, shot up tomato cans to future professional hall of famers ... just by looking at it.
