You get the sense that once the first big recruit commits , the skies will open up.....

Only need 2-3 studs and a good supporting cast to do very well ...

Nice But I've been around to long to get hyped up for a visit. We'll see how this plays out.

Getting 2-3 studs has been very difficult at Rutgers .Hopefully,Pikiell and staff can change the status quo.

yes that's true but his commit was so long ago it's had little effect and has not generated momentum. I've even seen discussion that he may reclassify as a 2017 recruit. In this latest round of 2018 recruiting Pikiell is pursuing consensus 4 star recruits ( even Reid a 5* recruit) and once someone from this group commits I suspect it will generate significant momentum and hopefully other top recruits.

Meanwhile Kentucky just got its 6th five star recruit and remains in the running for the final uncommitted 5*. Amazing how Calipari has made the one and done work despite needing to nearly reload his entire team every season.

And they'll win zero national championships with them. But seriously, that's incredible

He's a conduit to professional basketball. We're an institution of higher learning. $$$$

We are really an Institution of Higher Athletic Deficits. However, I believe Pike and Ash will change this historic trend.

That and $50M+ a year in 4 years time will eradicate that deficit as well.

I don't know why any legit one and done quality prospect would consider playing for anyone other than Calipari. His track record with players like that is unrivaled.

Don't we already have one?

We've been able to get those studs, but have had a hard time keeping them.

Yes, studs have transferred after 2 years but they were the only stud on the team and the rest of the team were complementary type players.The end result no NCAA bid.

Not true. Billet/Jones. Rosario/Eschenique come to mind.

Billet and Jones didn't transfer the same year and I'm not sure about the other two players mentioned.What I do know is no NCAA bid for over 25 years which is one of the most significant factors why studs don't choose Rutgers.

But still two players on the same team. We've recruited studs before. Just have to keep them and pile them class after class.
