Dellquan Warren on why he picked Rutgers basketball, reclassifying and possibility of other visits

Dellquan Warren breaks down his decision to commit to Rutgers basketball.

Well this ain’t good. Says just cause he verballed to Rutgers doesn’t mean he’s closing his recruitment. Planning on taking other visits to other schools in the summer.

Sounds like he’s awaiting an NIL deal.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Well that's not very encouraging!

Looks like we are a placeholder for him.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Is this a case of "lock in a spot" then wait for something better?

 

[fatsam98]

Lol wtf. At least he's honest I guess

 

[RUmaz]

Would be very surprised if he winds up at RU. Seems the NIL will be the deciding factor.

 

[Ryanmt222]

He ain’t coming here and neither are Harper or Bailey

 

[fluoxetine]

So he's.. not committed? What's the point?

 

[fluoxetine]

If I'm Pike I'm not locking the spot down with comments like that. I would just consider him not committed.

 

[Zak57]

Weird. Usually in basketball one you commit you stick.

Pike won't be too happy with this.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

"Totally loved it at Rutgers, beautiful campus, I love the coaches' plan for me. But I want to be sure, and NIL is definitely important to me."

Sounds like Rod Tidwell. "Show me the money!"

 

[Rutgers25]

Not worth using precious NIL money on unproven high school players

Imagine if we gave Jaden Jones money out of high school…lol

[sct1111]

Dude looks like a very good player but he's not a 5 star guy that can fish around for 6-7 figure NILs.

But yeah sounds like we're a placeholder. I dont think Pike and coaching staff are going to like this.

Yea flipping is a football thing, but maybe now with NIL it becomes more common in basketball if someone swoops in with a better offer

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well

 

[Scangg]

Unfortunate comments since flipping is a football thing and not prevalent in bball

Interesting comments about a possible 2023 reclass too

 

[RedTeam1994]

Whatever

He either wants to be here or not

If he is not totally committed then neither should pike

 

[RUreallygoingtoeatthat]

Whatever

Is Pettiford still an option?

 

[zebnatto]

I have to reevaluate my understanding of "commitment."

Guessing that flipping may become more prevalent with NIL now in the picture. Kids might verbally commit but other schools then make NIL offers.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Was skeptical of a commit this early in the process. Wouldn't worry about it. Pike will figure it out

 

[RU_DIO]

N I L

 

[bitnez]

This kid is anything but committed. It gave me a chuckle reading his comments.

 

[GL113]

Just wants NIL money. Hope Pike tells him see you.

 

[MadRU]

 

[motel00]

Not even sure what the word “commit” means at this point.

 

[bitnez]

He ain’t coming here and neither are Harper or Bailey

And I thought I was negative. Ha.

 

[GORU2014]

That’s weird for basketball for sure

 

[kcg88]

His commitment came out of nowhere. The whole thing is weird.

 

[High Quality H2O]

From the article, it sounds like he liked Rutgers, but then didn't know how to say
"I like you but I still want to see other people."
And instead of saying that ^ he just "committed" on the spot to end the visit on a feel good vibe.

But he had a whole commitment video done. It didn't seem like a spur of the moment thing. But it was out of nowhere. I dunno.

 

[njxchange]

I have a question. He is open about hearing from other schools.
What about other kids who commits. Do they keep hearing from other schools also even though they are not open about it like DellQuan? Or do kids really just shut everything down after verbal commit?

 

[jkernpop]

Say what??? Hoping he ends up here because looks like a great player…

All the quotes from the article though lol! Best one: “I’m trying to make sure I made the right choice because I haven’t been to that many places so I want to make sure.”

Mentioned 5 other schools he wants to visit and said that NIL was very important. Also doesn’t know if he’s going to be 2023 or 2024.

Damn. Not actually a verbal commit

[cubuffsdoug]

Some people are questioning why Pike is still recruiting other kids (PG). Well, this kid explains why you keep your options open.

 

[patk89]

Not good. How do you build a class and turn down others if one of your spots if filled by someone saying these things? I have confidence that Pike can manage this and it might end up being a situation where RU says thanks but no thanks. Post the Harper commit, we will look attractive to many PGs.

 

[kt124]

well i have to imagine the coaching staff will be having a conversation with him about this real soon if not already

 

[Mr Magoo]

See ya. Next.

 

[RUDiddy777]

We’re not a placeholder for anyone. We’re a top tier B1G program.
