So many "Johnson's" hahahaha. You gotta put the first initials because I am confused.

I still think, and I may be proved otherwise, but I think Daniels starts at PG - at least in the early going.

Hoping Mike Williams improves. Talked to him in class this morning. I hope DJ improves as well.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

For recruiting purposes...

Sr (2)...Daniels/Lewis
Jr (1)....Freeman
So (4)..Foreman/Williams/Doorson/N Johnson
Fr (6)...Sanders/K Johnson/Laurent/Diallo/R Johnson/Goode

I think the goal for the Class of 2016 is to sign a SG and a PF....

 

[jellyman]

The transfer, N. Johnson, though a Junior, will STILL be a Junior in 2016-17, alongside the current rising sophomores.

And Mike Williams told you.......................?

What is the opinion of those that have seen Diallo in practice?

 

[DocRU]

Key word here is depth. 2-3 deep at every position. Less minutes per player should translate into more energy expended on both sides of the floor. The Princeton style which relies so heavily on motion and cutting, should be more effective. And defensively, the ability to extend comes into play.
Talent level and learning to play together is crucial to success of course. But having 12 scholarship players to work with is huge for a program that was devastated just 3 years ago.

 

[chriswasky]

Mike didn't tell me anything. Didn't talk Bball

 

[wasiman]

While you sit out a year as a transfer is your scholarship counted for the year you are not playing ?
If it is not counted than there may be room for a player like Ellison.

Nigel Johnson counts - we are done unless somebody leaves

Someone doesn't necessarily have to leave. For example, one of the players could become a walk-on for a year like...

I keep looking at this roster and thinking of Major League:

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Maybe, but we have no shooters and there's nothing more important in today's game.

 

[MADHAT1]

Maybe, but we have no shooters and there's nothing more important in today's game.

Goode is supposed to be a good shooter, but needs to prove that and earn meaningful minutes.
Ryan Johnson also has a rep as a good shooter, but needs to prove he is
Williams shown potential , last season, but need to [prove it on a constant bases.
Sanders is supposed to have a shot, but as a freshman PG , needs to get used to college ball before proving he can be a scorer.
Laurent is supposed to be a pretty good O player who can hit the outside shot, but as a freshman can't be counted on to do that on a constant bases.
There are more questions than answers concerning Rutgers players shooting ability, but there are some of those players that might be the answer.
