One of my favorite Rutgers players was Eli Carter who scored over 30 points defeating top ranked Florida at the RAC.His leg injury curtailed his college career including transfer to Florida.
Does anyone have the list of players who came back from the 80s 90s 00s

Kinesh???? 😂 I think you meant Tenys. But I did see Bobby Blintz and Larry Latke there yesterday.
No mention of Eric Riggins? One of the few bright spots in the Littlepage era
I don't know where they've been taking lessons, but the Rutgers Athletic Department has become a class act. Just a great day yesterday.
Give Hobbs credit for picking the right game to have all of these guys back and watching RU and the RAC.
He played pro there and I think he’s in their bball hall of fame. Don’t ask me who else is in there!
There’s a great photo of Herve celebrating but Melo in the background with a smirk on his face as if he’s saying, “Did you call that?”
Glad they got the former athletes there, but it was poorly done. In the past, when many have been introduced, they would line them up first, and then announce the names as they stepped forward one by one. It didn’t take any more time, and we could see who was who.
There is very little time and getting these guys to line up in order is like herding cats. They did a fantastic job choosing to include everyone. Hobbs warmly greeted everybody and I don't think slipped the donor pitch in once. Very well done. The general good feelings will pay dividends. I've gotten on them in the past for cutting corners and coming off chintzy (checked to make sure that word had no racial, religious, or ethnic connotations because it is 2024), but RU is starting to look like an actual big time B1G program.
another thought would be to bring back the living coaches (ex Littlepaige who would likely get booed)
ok..let Craig be the warm-up band...Bob (comes on a stick), Bannon (comes naked), Eddie (tries to rebound) , Gary (who might miss it due to a storm), baldie (who might also get booed) , and Rice (who could toss balls into the stands).

No. You don’t have to get them to line up in order. Just take a step forward from wherever you are standing when your name is announced. No time involved. And we could see who is who.
A day or two after 40th anniversary of his game winning buzzer beater against ND in the meadowlandsChris Remley was out there on the floor today. 1985 Draft pick of the Celtics... Mr Irrelavant for that year, and I also heard then announce Matt Madlinger
'85 NBA Draft Revisited: Mr. Irrelevant
Chris Remley was the final player selected in the historic 1985 NBA Draft. But he never made it to the NBA.www.vice.com
He was such an underrated great player for us if there is someone like that. He was awesome during that NIT final run.
Not OT because he worked with a lot of the guys mentioned here. I’m reading this thread sitting on a bench outside of a clothing store in Sarasota today as my wife shops and a guy sees my Rutgers basketball shirt and tells me he coached basketball there and starts up a conversation . Jimmy Carr , worked under Bannon ( he called it madness), Waters (a shame per him) and Freddy (his words- shitshow). Nice guy, still follows the team. He was pumped about Wiscy and thinks we have a run in us. Head coach at IMG now.
We should all wish Jimmy well. No one should have to endure what he and his family went through all those years ago as far as son, He also was here under Rice. Truly remarkable to be here under 4 different regimes.
If Inman came back and did an NIL event where he read his Steak of Turmoil post, it might be the biggest fundraiser since the drive to hire Schiano
Two of the best players to ever play on the Banks, played a couple of years together, and then played 7-8 productive years in the NBA: John Battle and Roy Hinson. Those guys should be back and regularly. Battle was a hell of a guard, and I can still picture Hinson rising way above everybody to reject shot after shot. Two of the greats.
Hinson was best shot blocker I ever saw at Rutgers.
Battle was at the Iowa game last season. I got to shoot the breeze with him prior to tip-off. It was his first time on the banks in many, many years. For those who don't know, he's now a pastor near Atlanta.

Thanks but it wasn’t him
Think it was Byron Joynes.
And if so - Byron lost a ton of weight
