Court Club recap?
- Thread starter RUSCFORMERLYRULOU
- Start date
I heard someone actually asked Yeboah is thoughts on Prince Henry and Markel situation, to which he said no comment.
Best season in forever and this is what gets asked?
CC must have added an off-topic portion to the Q&A segment...this is what happens after @BKIn118 handed over the reins
I missed the meeting but this is what I was told was asked.
If true you can't make it up.
Sounds like a member who needs to be put on probation, LOL
If we give the benefit of the doubt, maybe the genesis of the question is about whether Harry has any eligibility left and does he have a good handle...now that he's trying to transition away from the royal life. If Pike can get him on the roster, maybe we can court QE2 for a mega-donation. That's all I got...
Seriously, what’s the matter with you guys?
The “Megxit” question was very funny, quite clever with Kwasi (so?) being from the UK. Got a lot of laughs, all in good fun.
Pike & Kwasi were there for about an hour taking & answering questions. The guy who asked the Megxit question also asked a hoops questions. All was good.

I guess you had to be there but the way it was asked and answered was quite comical. Coach Pike got a kick out of it too and was awaiting Akwasi's response. I am pretty sure he even pushed the microphone in Akwasi's direction too....lol The "no comment" got huge laughs. It was all in good fun.
As BKIn118...how should I be taking that? Good thing or bad thing? :)
It was awesome. Big crowd and Pike was pumped. Brought Akwasi along discussing his GPA , 3.79 and the teams GPA, 3.1 , highest ever. Akwasi talked about his adjustment and his love of Rutgers and his teammates.
Coach never lets you get too specific and no one including me had the balls to ask him about the play at 2 minutes left with Paul. I did ask about the moving screen emphasis and Myles and he agreed with me saying from where he has Myles coming from the low block to out high, it is the guards fault for not waiting and going too fast until Myles can get set. He actually responded hilariously saying “ were you in film session yesterday as Akwasi was nodding “ . He also agreed with me that the last one called against Myles was not a foul.
He loves his team, loves his bench and will not tinker with the starting lineup the rest of the way, when someone asked him about moving Jacob into the starting lineup. Loves the energy Jacob and Paul bring and Shaq when they come in and usually elevate us and definitely no drop off from the starters.
Really concerned all the time about keeping the players off their phones. Single hardest thing to do as a coach today and didn’t have to deal with it back in the day. Especially challenging where friends , family are hitting the players up and asking about playing time, etc. He seems to be doing a great job in this area.
He is taking the season a game at a time and is loving the journey with ups and downs and injuries and obstacles to overcome. Really get the sense he thinks this team is right there but he knows how difficult this league is as he recited a number of times that last week , Ohio State was still ranked 11th in the country but they were 13 th in the Big 10 to tell you how crazy good the league is this year and every year according to him.
Geo is likely a February return . Although the broken thumb is healing it is a combination of the healing and Geo’s pain tolerance because he expects that as soon as Geo will be back, the opponents will whack down on his hand to test it. So a process !
Overall, we have a great coach and a great person at the helm. He loves it here. He represents Rutgers the right clean way. He personally came around with Akwasi before the meeting and shook hands with all 100 people in attendance thanking us for the support. What other coach anywhere in Big time college athletics would do that ? Probably no one. He is a stud.
