Dylan Harper's Latest Instagram Post? Is he done?

I define fine as you can play.

There is a difference between being hurt and being injured. Dylan has a rolled ankle. Hes fine.

Kyle Monangai played this season after sustaining two broken ribs in september. Hes a dog though and plays through pain.

Dylan is protecting draft stock while playing for a team with near 0% shot of making the postseason
Dude FFS he sprained his ankle. If it's a high ankle sprain then he honestly might be done for the year. That's a 4-6 week recovery unless you take a steroid or something close to it.
 
JaMike just played the best game of his college career…7 pts on 3-6 shooting, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover…and I don’t remember him getting stuffed at the rim once. Steve Nash would’ve been proud.
He keeps going like this he’ll be called Amazon ‘cause he be distributing all day.

Hes fine. Just being overly precautious for his financial future. He’ll be back soon.

This makes zero sense.
He’s played multiple games obviously no where close to 100 percent.

Dylan’s only thought is helping the team and combining with Ace to shock the world when he’s healthy.

This. People keep projecting this shit into Ace and Dylan that they don’t care about this season because they are making lots of money next year.

That’s bullshit man, these guys want to win. There’s no chance Dylan is shutting it down for business reasons. If it was like two games left in the season and the ankle was iffy and we were 100% out of contention? Who knows, maybe, and I doubt anyone would blame him at that point. But it’s not happening now.

People can be highly paid and still care about winning and in fact I would imagine this describes 99%+ of highly paid athletes. You don’t become a highly paid athlete by chasing the money.

You don’t get it because you’re a UNC fan kingzzz.

This is a Rutgers Basketball message board, remember?
Go away lurch haha it's 10 games left in his Rutgers career. It doesn't really matter because Rutgers isn't making the tournament. You got to see Dylan play alot why all this panic if he decided to shut it down. He's literally packing up and headed to the NBA in 10 games. Pikell put trash around him and Ace.

You go away bro.

You’re a phuckin UNC basketball fan on a Rutgers message board asking why we care whether Dylan Harper is playing.

Go to the UNC board and discuss their (notice spelling of “their”) pitiful season with all of your buddies over there (notice spelling of “there”).

Total clown, as usual.
 
Any truth to the rumor that he actually first tweaked his ankle on the walk from his apartment to Jersey Mike's to watch RU/USC when he had the flu?!?!??!?!?! Many here said he should have stayed home with some nice chicken soup and got roasted for it. Sad...

(yes that is sarcasm).

Rutgers maintenance didn’t salt or shovel outside Harper’s apartment from his path to the RAC
 
I get people want to see him out there but honestly this season is over. It's ashame Dylan and Ace won't be able to experience the tournament. I don't do the dramatic post type thing but pikell failed them. Would have been a great look for Rutgers to have 2 of the top freshmen killin it on a big during march madness. These guys lived up to the hype but the players around them just weren't good enough. Does it really matter if he plays again it's 10 games left and he's headed to the NBA i don't get the panic around this there's nothing to play for

If the rumors are true about this new postseason tournament run by Fox in Vegas paying out NIL and/or providing NIL opportunities, that could put an interesting wrinkle into players considering shutting it down because the NCAA tournament is out of reach.

Lurch don't be so upset you never like anything I say. But always feel the need to respond. I'm only saying it's a few games left of he sits out it's ok there is nothing left to play for.

Not a bad idea overall because that NIT tournament use to be good at the end of the season. Now alot of teams decline to play in it.

Davis got stuffed at the rim once, 12:37 to go in the second half.

Here are the baskets from his assists.

1st half:

Bailey 3 pter
Bailey 2 pt jumper
Bailey alley-oop

2nd half:

Martini 3 pter
Acuff 2 pt jumper
Bailey alley-oop on the break (that was GORGEOUS!)
Acuff 3 pter
Acuff layup

It's encouraging that half of his assists weren't just passes to a red-hot Bailey, but getting others involved, too. The alley-oop passes to Bailey were great. Then there was his alley-OOPS lob to Grant that went in. I'm pretty sure that was not intended to be a shot.

One turnover and one stuffed shot (I figured I had forgotten at least one stuff) is still fantastic. It’s much better for him to collapse defenses by driving and then finding open people…and Bailey is the top priority “find” for sure.
JaMike does several things at a high level and hopefully he can continue to get better at finding people instead of forcing things. His relative lack of size makes this more difficult unfortunately…so he needs to penetrate with his “head on a swivel.”

You’re the one that’s a UNC fan spending time on here and telling me to go away from a Rutgers Basketball forum.

And you’re also questioning why Rutgers basketball fans on a Rutgers Basketball forum are interested in Dylan Harper’s status.

lmfao.

You’re really not a bright dude.
 
Per a recent interview Dylan will be back when the ankle is fully healed.Question is, will it be toward the beginning of February or the middle to end of the month? If we can steal one of the next two games with RAC MAGIC and go on a run, maybe maybe we sneak into the Tournie by getting enough quad one wins?

"Fully healed" ankle sprain can take months.
 
It is. Just as taking the opposite side would be 100% speculation.

I wouldn’t say it’s 100% speculation to think he’s actually hurt.

- He clearly got hurt at PSU.
- He could barely walk against MSU at MSG (biggest basketball venue in the country) and stopped playing.
- He was in a walking boot at Northwestern.

Lot’s of evidence to suggest he’s actually hurt, so no it’s not 100% speculation.

So now we can't question anything. The sky is falling because Dylan is injured and not playing in a few games. Stop being so concerned with me that's the part that's crazy u respond every time lol 4 page thread here comes Lurch upset at what I said it never fails 😂. So emotional you can't help not responding to me even if u wanted to

You’re the one who first told ME to go away. I’m not going anywhere - I’m a Rutgers basketball fan and have had season tickets for years. It makes sense for me to be posting on a Rutgers basketball forum.

Go over to the UNC board for basketball to discuss your team.

And just stick to giving us nuggets from your PeeWee and 7v7 football circles.

That’s what you’re good for!

Agreed, it was the best game of his season for sure when you consider the level of competition, too. He scored 11 with 7 assists against Columbia, but that's not a B1G road game. Three steals against NW, too. Let's hope that is not a one-off good game and he continues to show growth while Dylan is out.

His passes are so good they go in the basket if they don’t connect 😊😊😊

On the other end, though, his eight points was kind of a farce. 3 at the end of the shot clock, the lob to Grant that accidentally went in and the uncontested dunk in transition when the game was effectively over

yup, nba teams want players who don't care about winning--they want to pay a guy millions cause he doesn't care.

He has tried to play while injured or not at full strength multiple times this year. It makes sense to wait until he is more healthy. PG is not an easy position to play with a high ankle sprain.

All important scores, especially the dunk at the end that iced the game for certain.
We don’t have another guard in enough control of their bodies to complete the beautiful two man passing sequence setting up the lob jam for Ace.
