Duke Will have its whole staff at the John Wall Holiday for 2024 PG Dylan Harper

[Greene Rice FIG]

Watch and see sir.

Hopefully nothing to ser

 

[SirScarlet]

Just off the top of my head, in the last year he has started threads:

Before the Purdue home game last year, he started a thread saying that we would get destroyed and it would be the “beginning of the end” for Pike. We won.

Sometime in that same timeframe he started a thread saying that Kenpom predicted us to go 2-18 in the Big Ten. This was incorrect, both because he misinterpreted Kenpom’s website which did not predict that and also because we went 12-8 in the big ten

He posted a thread at the end of this season that said that we had less talent currently than at the end of the Eddie Jordan era. Eddie Jordan’s last team was #279 in Kenpom. We are currently #23

He posted a thread stating that Oregon would run its offense through Jacob young and dominate. Oregon missed the tournament and finished #82 in Kenpom. Jacob Young averaged 12ppg a year after averaging 14.1 at Rutgers

I don’t know if @kyk1827 roots for failure, but he demonstrates it with every basketball related post

But he says he is 90+% in his predictions!!!

Lol

Show your receipts kyk...at best you're batting .500...AT BEST

I asked this yesterday, but didn’t get a response, why is Dylan better off being coached by scheyer than Pike.
Kyk keeps talked about how great of a program Duke, and they are… but that was under coach K.
In the 2022 recruiting class, Duke got 3 of the top 5 guys in the country. Guess what, two of those 5 star guys Duke got are averaging under 7 points a game. I understand players don’t get drafted based on stats, but it sure as hell doesn’t look like Scheyer is getting the full potential out of them.
So again, why are we assuming Dylan would do better under Scheyer than under Pike?

The reason for the low scoring probably is caused by a squad full of 4/5 star elite recruits who are all competing for playing time.

 

[Scangg]

He’s shifting the argument as we speak.

Kyk is the king of moving goalposts

No is saying Duke is some terrible option and that Dylan would never go there or should never go there

People called out the absurd comparison that choosing Rutgers in basketball is the same as a QB choosing Rutgers in football as if Rutgers basketball is some dumpster embarrassing bottom dwelling disaster like football is.

That is what everyone called him out on but he keeps saying it's bc he said Dylan would go to Duke. That's not what people were calling him out for but he is so clearly and obviously wrong about it that he pretends people are all idiots bc kyk thinks Dylan is going to Duke.

That's not it. If you want to think Dylan goes to Duke, fine go for it. He might. We'll see. But stop pretending that's what people were all calling you out on. It wasn't.


He also said he would grt a vasectomy if Rutgers finished over 5th so something else to keep an eye on if have a good season 🤣

I think I'm closer to the accuracy level that kyk thinks he is, especially when it comes to player evaluation. I was high on low star recruits like Eugene, Caleb, Mag, and Woolfolk that got widely bashed when they committed

here is a post from BEFORE Eugene committed in 2016. It got 1 like.

Not impressed by the offer list but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the video. Blocks shots. Looks big and strong. Excellent court vision and passing. Decent handle with some drives to the basket at that size. Hit some threes. Would love to see this kid commit. He's not completely polished but not sure what some of these other posters are looking at with some of these comments

2017 freshman year when kyk was saying he would love to see Eugene transfer and was horrible etc...

Eugene was brought in as a bit of a project. People calling for him to go are just clueless. He clearly has the size and athletic ability to compete in the B1G and has shown some flashes and ability to get to the basket but struggles finishing around the rim which he will undoubtedly improve on. He had an excellent spin move in the post during garbage time. I see him as a contributing role player.

Many can't see potential and project forward

The comment about the first year team having more talent than this year’s team is the one that really takes the cake.

 

[B0ski]

Jason Williams didn’t have a brother here that was Rutgers royalty. We’re not ripping the family here.

If Dylan doesn’t come here, we’ll move on. We have a system after all.

Agreed but was responding to KYK stating a 5 star would never be ripped for choosing Duke over Rutgers.

Yeah...early on I would debate takes with him then stopped when it become clear there was only an intent to "be right"...

I think the last genuine back and forth ended with him trying to tell me Derrick Henry would be an NFL bust...lol

Exactly.

So now if Dylan commits to Duke kyk will go on to tell everyone on how he was right.

That was never the discussion/debate in this thread…it was the comparison to a top QB in football and his constant crapping on the basketball program and Pikiell.

 

[Scangg]

The best part of that thread was when Geo came in and made fun of kyk's take for being so ridiculous 🤣

 

[RU84]

Gotta send a bus load of Rutgers students there.

 

[Scangg]

Kyk adding additional bad takes in that thread too.... ripped Pike for turning down Quinnerly and Muhammad

Muhammad
11.9 mpg
4.1 ppg
1.4 rebounds
.067 3% 🤣
.327 FG% 🤣

Quinnerly
18.8 mpg
6.1 ppg
4.1 assists
2.1 rebounds
.27% 3% 🙁
.31 FG% 🤣

Both shooting horrific. Quinnerly at least decent with the assists but 31% from the field is really awful

Maybe, just maybe... hear me out... Pike knows what he's doing. Just something to consider

Ill say it again, a 5* bball player choosing RU over Duke is like a qb choosing RU over USC.

We aint finishing top 4 in the big ten so my vasectomy aint happening.

Didnt u predict something absurd again this year for bball?

You projected Eugene as a role player LOL. He shot 34% as a frosh playing the 3 and couldnt dribble.

Would love to see what u said about souf and bullock

Edit: OOOOOOOOF. Just searched your souf receipts. Theyre BAD. Hahah i wont post them out of respect

Ok, I am going to wade into this debate one last time.

When you have a team of young kids, it is not how you play early in the year, it is how much you improve during the year and play at the end. Last year North Carolina lost a lot of games early, and then came on strong in the tournament to get into the final. Duke is also playing a vastly more difficult schedule than we play, they have already played Kansas, Xavier, Purdue, Ohio State and Iowa, and they are still ranked #17. Don’t be surprised if their ranking creeps up from here and if they make a big run in the tournament.

And heres your receipt for bball season prediction:

13-7 B1G
5th seed B1G tournament
1-1 B1G tournament
23-10 overall
5th seed NCAA tournament
2-1 NCAA tournament (Sweet 16)

You predicted this team would win how many conference games, again? I know you added one more win on because of Spencer. So your locked in at 5 conference wins total including the BIG tourney - right?

Pike’s first team finished with the 231th ranked offense and 70th ranked defense by the way. You just doubled down man, so now go ahead and explain how our “less talented team” nose dives to a level that resembles that in the metrics.

 

[RUInsanity]

Soft minded, yes. They went insane during the blm shit, it was quite embarrassing.

This post pretty much sums up for everyone what you're really about.

 

[biazza38]

This post pretty much sums up for everyone what you're really about.

Imagine thinking a team that broke a 30 year tournament drought, had that pulled away from them because of Covid, and then played a season being isolated from the student body and said “f it” and made the tournament back to back years is being led by “soft minded” guys? Lmfao. He’s such a clown when he says stuff like that

Role player was right and said he was oozing with potential constantly and he blossomed into a stud. You said he wasn't a D1 player and he made the NBA. You were so ridiculously wrong lol stop

Souf I thought would he a quick solid PG that could penetrate and dish and play tough D and be a pike type player. Got that one wrong. I can admit a bad take. Prob my worst one but nowhere near the level of your bad takes

I think I cosigned someone's else's prediction saying that sounded about right bullish case. We would be undefeated or 1 loss if we didn't have injuries and epic ref screw job

Meanwhile you're predicting 3 wins last year and 5 or 6 this year. Just really really inaccurate

If I was kyk I would say something like I'll get a vasectomy and give 10k if you can find anyone who posted a more wrong prediction of 3 B1G wins last year

 

[Scangg]

21 wins 11-9 upside for more

75% chance of at 17

Injuries to bigs especially Myles would be the fear of down season.

Admittedly I go for optimistic predictions and try to will them into existence at times

Nailed the 19-20 season prediction

I don't really care about these types of predictions though honestly. More interested in player evaluation takes

Kyk can go on and on and on ripping EO in threads relentlessly when I kept saying how he was oozing with talent

I was high on a lot of the Pike gems when people ripped them EO Myles Caleb Mag etc

I was one of the very very few defending Caleb after his rough start for example. He was a low rated recruit who struggled early. I said it was a confidence issue and he would fill out physically and be a baller for us when many wanted him gone

One me and kyk were on the same page about was JY when he struggled early but his talent was so obvious

I mean - obviously whoever made that prediction assumed Paul and Caleb would be healthy for the pre-season.

 

[Scangg]

I mean - obviously whoever made that prediction assumed Paul and Caleb would be healthy for the pre-season.

Obviously... kyk would have had the OOC prediction very wrong if Paul and Caleb were healthy, but now he's acting like he was right about the team and they just aren't very good

We'll see but it's coming from the guy who said Pike should be fired already but won't happen until next year

 

[Ru0822]

Idk why people give KYK the time of day...hes clearly delusional even when it comes to football. I remember him calling our 2020 receiving core the most talented Rutgers history...oh and dont forget that one time when he also said jonathan taylor wasnt any good.

 

[Tango Two]

[RUTrack94]

Would his draft selection be higher coming out of RU or Duke?

 

[bethlehemfan]

He never admits anything. Just doubles down on stupidity by moving the goal posts or pointing to some minor issue that misses the point.

He also said Gus wasn’t good and Martin was getting screwed. He had other terrible football takes. He’s pretty horrible overall with both bball and football takes but he’s a passionate football fan and hes entertaining. I don’t think people should be too hard on him. He’s got some obvious issues.

He aint coming here cupcake.

Haha i didnt predict 3 B1G wins last year. What i did though was misunderstand the kenpom prediction which had us favored in only 4 B1G games going into B1G play. After losing to lafayette and the lehigh performance i did think wed only win like 5 b1g games tho. There wasnt a soul who thought wed win 4 straight ranked games like we did.

In right alot more than you. Just facts

Lol in the season prediction thread it was well known caleb was missing time and his knee was banged up.

Another prediction nailed for me here. Lets see where the season shakes out. I do hope youre right on the b1g record and im wrong tho

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

yesssss!

Welcome to the Rutgers family Dylan Harper

Funny part is you could be wrong 99 times and right once and youll talk about the one. I could be right 99 and wrong once and youll talk about the 1. Female energy.

You predict dylan is coming here and if he doesnt then its silence. Fwiw i hope he comes here. With him gavin and another 4* we could make a serious run. I just dont think the odds are in our favor vs duke

No that's not what happened. The thread was Kenpom predicts 2-18 but you personally predicted 3 wins

I personally think 3-17. Between us not being able to score, have very little defense all around, and our inability to board, it is hard to pick out one thing we do well where we can bank on to beat teams

"I personally think 3-17" black and white. Clear as day. Just admit you're wrong

 

[Scangg]

Caleb was only expected to miss a couple games at first and Paul got hurt mid season.

You think we collapse and lose a 13 point lead in the last few minutes if we have our experienced PG? Very unlikely

The Temple game fairly obviously goes differently with Paul

OSU blown call so bad it cost us the SHU game due to the emotional blow to the team

Haha indeed i was wrong. That was also a post after a lafayette loss and lehigh miracle win.

Reality is I truly thought wed be a 5-6 win B1G team last year after that and i was wrong.

Also crazy to look back and see that going into B1G play kenpom only had us favored in 2 of 20 games. Miracle turnaround. We did something that had never been done in the history of college basketball in beating 4 straight ranked opponents as an unranked team

We must also recognize most deep down thought we werent winning more than 5-6 b1g games after the lafayette lehigh games. Heck even merrimack

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

KYK - just to clarify - since you reinforced your view that Pike’s first team has more talent than this one (with the addition of Spencer being good for 1 more win) - your still on record with a prediction of 5 total BIG wins for us including the conference tourney, yes? That would be one more than what Pike’s first team did.
