No we don't. No amount of finger wagging on your part is going to make any difference. Everyone here understands what we are up against.
Dylan Harper Recruitment Update
- Thread starter malaka27
- Start date
I think he meant, to make college choice based on other factors, not NIL $$ as #1 driving force.
I think he is being unrealistic this kid is being recruited by there schools that are extremely hard to get into. He can’t make a bad decision if he chooses Us Duke or Indiana. He is wearing scarlet colored glasses.
Yup tons of kids grew up dreaming of playing for John Scheyer. Coach K isn’t there anymore. He was the draw. Duke is no longer Duke.
Every time there is a Harper update, someone, this time you, has to remind us that Duke is also recruiting him. It's tedious. We know.
I think it is highly highly highly unlikely that both players play multiple years.
These aren’t really solid high school recruits.
These are elite level guys who will get drafted early based on potential.
NBA scouts aren’t going to want them staying for multiple years. They’re going to want them working with NBA coaches ASAP.
I doubt he chooses Indiana because that would be really a bad perception outcome for Rutgers having another league rival selected.
Used to think that but after watching a segment on GLeague Ignite on Game Theory, I'm not so sure. The players are run ragged with social media engagements (at its roots - Ignite is a social media company) and the games mostly have been exhibitions in front of no crowds (I think this recently changed and they signed something in Vegas at the Dollar Loan Center). Yes they've had a few high draft picks (Green, Kuminga) - but I'm still on the fence about this.
I am in the minority here. Not terribly excited by having a one and done.
I'd be happy if we restock one and done players every year with other one and done's.
One and done would reflect the success of those players and thus go to NBA.
I would think we would be successful at winning games
Get your point but it’s not much different than portal transfers with one year. Only now we’re talking superior talent; whether it’s talent realized or talent overhyped would need to be determined.
And, blue bloods seem to do just fine with one and dones…
This is ridiculous!
Of course you want Harper if he is a one and done.
He is only going to Rutgers or Duke and is having fun,as he should taking elite visits.
I am not in love with either, but the one and done is different. The one and done is playing college basketball because they have to. The one and done goal is always next gear.
I really can’t believe we have guys who would rather not take a one and done
The few G league games I've watched portions of is basically playground ball with a ton of missed shots.
Any elite guy who wants to do that should have their head examined.
Not one of the games had enough people there that they would even point the camera at them purposely. Not seeing the attraction for a player with any other option.
Not true Duke continues to recruit and get elite five star players .
This is the big thing - how is 2025 recruiting looking?
We're are potentially hoing to be without Bailey and Harper(🤞). For as great as it is to get them, they'll be gone just as soon.
This is the reason the recruiting classes at Duke and Kentucky are always much larger than ours, they have to reload every year. So when we take 3 recruits, they are typically bringing in 5 or 6. Will need to put more money and effort into recruiting if we are headed down this path.
I have to be honest. After watching Pike with a bunch of underrecruited guys, I am curious to see what he can do with players everyone wants.
There have been many coaches that have succeeded with under radar guys and then fail with on the radar guys.
Yeah. Because what use do we have for lottery pick level talent at Rutgers.
Get that NBA sh1t out of here!!!!
It's a GUARD world. He cannot make a bad decision. Good luck to him and his whole family no matter what he chooses.
As of now we are in a very good spot to land Harper, if you read the tea leaves and every update of late, things are trending right
Don’t know who this is but I like it…
