Dylan deletes Rutgers from instagram???

I am so happy Pike is our coach. I think he has done the impossible and turned this program around........

I have concerns that the coaching staff may not be maximizing things from an offensive standpoint. Will the staff have the ability to integrate 2 outstanding pieces and turn us in to a good offensive team.

In 1 half he aborted the preseason talk and started benching people (it really worked for Simpson) for defense. He keeps talking uptempo and wanting to score 80, but what we se doesn't match that.

Gavin isn't getting looks. Hyatt is taking the most shots. If we are being honest with ourselves Cliff doesn't have the offensive toolbox he should have in Year 4. I blame Cliff and the staff for that.
Lots of players plateau in college, because the time you spend playing basketball and working with coaches is limited. Cliff may also have a little hangover from his efforts to get drafted, and may be a little disappointed and demotivated to be back.
 
FWIW - a different trainer (not the one I mentioned right before the summer) associated with Bosco at my boys’ AAU club told us last weekend he heard it’s going to be Rutgers (my boys ask all the time). Again - I have no idea how much intel these guys actually have but this one has actually trained both Ron and Dylan over the years. He once showed my boys some film of it to get them excited about their own training.

This doesn’t mean these trainers associated with Bosco (mainly they run training sessions for some of the JV kids I think) know anything. But these were guys who laughed when my kids first asked a while back if they thought Dylan would pick Rutgers. Last year all of them thought it would be Duke.

Think it will happen at the RAC this month either way, just hoping it goes our way

well if he announces at the RAC I would assume he wont commit to Duke

although THAT would be the ultimate troll move. LOL
 
Personally, when he kept pushing his commitment date off, and was wishy washy, I started to think he’s not coming here… if he really wanted us, wanted to play with Ace, he would have done it. He has reservations obviously.
Yes, no problem wanting on Ace to ink it.
Plenty of other reasonable reasons to delay still. But longer it goes more my concern rises.
 
Jay Williams committed to Duke but then showed up at Rutgers Midnight Madness event.
He had spent the previous six months or more working out in the RAC. I knew guys with access back then who saw him in there regularly and I even saw him multiple times when I'd go pick up tickets. The story is he WEPT in the car the entire ride home from Duke because he knew he'd have to face Bannon after putting a very public dagger in his back. His mother made the deal with Coach Rat Face.

Never Forgiven. NEVER.
 
To me it's a little bit pathetic that fans become so - there must be a word for it - fanatic, yeah that's it, following every tiny speck of minutiae regarding what teenage kids think or don't think about where they're going to college. I'll be ecstatic if he signs and disappointed if he doesn't, but can't be bothered to worry about it until it happens. I do think he signs, though, based on everything I've heard.

Every coach and recruiting service in America follows these kids and interprets what they post (or don’t post). Sure, they’re not fans but it’s still grown men worrying about teenagers. I doubt they find it pathetic. Haha.

Also, with NIL now a thing, I doubt adults cutting checks for teenagers to go to certain schools find it pathetic what they’re posting either.

And FWIW I don’t follow the stuff and have found the DH process exhausting.
 
IF….he’s playing games, that’s not cool. Trolling your potential fan base not a good look..
I think it’s great and wish more players would do it. What’s a bad look is fans and/or “analysts” obsessing about recruiting to the point where they stalk the kids on social media.

These kids don’t owe us fans a goddamn thing. They don’t exist for our pleasure or for our entertainment.
 
Did you receive a high school diploma?
Your making a point?

(The forum software really, really, really didn’t want to let me use “your” there, which was hilariously ironic and makes me wonder how people can ever get it wrong).
