Foreman Transferring
- Thread starter RutgersFbFan
- Start date
Underachiever, can't finish at the rim, but still hurts, already have no size. Best friends with Mike Williams, would hate to see Mike follow
Trust the process,sir. I think we will be fine. I would like to see an assist from Mike Williams. It is not like we had a 20 win team last season.
Got damn. Jordan. I hope you enjoy your money and keep your marriage. Still, I feel a little duped.
Just confirms what we already knew, Eddie did nothing here, but waste three years of everyones time. There will be more transfers to come, but I will trust Pikiell In the rebuild
Van macon, I believe. He recruited most of NY. Oh well.Next up. Who wants to compete?
For real. Jordan wanted to be the head of coaching and nothing else it seems like. Head coach has to recruit as well.
Where is two or three assist from a guard?I like Williams, but unfortunately I believe a lot of our roster is replaceable. It may be a complete rebuild, and I am fine with that. I like Williams, but I see a lot of driving with his head down. What the says to me is that you want yours, and are not looking to pass.
Not the type of player we get to the tournament with.
It's a loss because we are unbelievably thin up front right now but Foreman was an extremely limited basketball player. On the one hand it's good that Pikiell will have some scholarships to hand out and not be locked in for two more years for players that don't have a big upside, but next year is going to be REALLY rough unless we can bring land a front court graduate transfer or two as reinforcements.
Bullock is upgrade over Goode and hopefully can get a good player to replace Foreman. To get an assist people have to make shots. And how many good passes did Sanders make where kids fumbled the ball out of bounds?
Even though Williams was also a Van Macon recruit, there have been encouraging tweets from William's father about the new staff. Shields, I agree, I want Williams to stay, I love his toughness.
If Goode and Foreman are the only transfers, that's something that we can certainly deal with and not suffer setbacks. Let's hope it ends with these two.
Williams had to guard kids 4 or 5 inches taller than himself. Remember Ohio State game where kids he guarded had to be 5 inches taller.
This is our thinking? That any player with a flaw shouldn't be here? Mike Williams is a tough defender willing to do the dirty work and is the kind of player who would seem to fit with Pike's vision of guys who just want to win and fit in. There are plenty of NBA guys who have certain limited skill sets - how can you expect perfection from a college sophomore?
Not our thinking, just mine. I am just saying, there are going to be transfers. We are not coming off a 20 win season. I am not going to have any kind of emotion about this. I like Williams, but I would like to see him transform his game a little bit. I would not want to see him go, but a rebuild is a rebuild. Rather build it Pikiells way than anyone elses.
People beat me up for my opinion about retaining Shoes, but I want to be able to field a team next year. Thiam will more than replace Foreman, and it is so important to keep Thiam on board now after this news.
Williams and adding Bullock gives us some toughness which we need. Thiam needs to come, now will get major minutes.
I could see Bullock playing that three or four spot. At the three he would add some nice boards. If freeman stays, he is at the 4 and hopefully Shaq at center.
We will see though. I trust Pikiell will recruit another two players.
Looks like Jordan was even lazier than I thought.
Look, Williams isn't superstar, he's undersized, and his shooting has been disappointing but I think most fans appreciate his toughness and he will still get playing time and has a role on this team. I'd be disappointed to lose Williams. He was at the Pikiell press conference and mixing it up with his kids so, to me, that's a sign that the guy wants to be here and is invested in the program.
I cannot go as far as call the guy lazy, but it seems like he wanted to come back to his alma mater knowing he would make more money there than anywhere in the NBA. Also seemed like he didn't use his assistants a ton. Just from what I saw behind the bench. Clearly was not ready for a rebuild. I am starting to think he was more of a guy to come in and change the stigma Rutgers basketball had.
I can. Looks like he didn't recruit, wanted nothing to do with rebounding and defense, didn't attend events that he should have, paid no attention to details on the court, and blamed circumstances and players for his failures...that's lazy.
The part that annoys me, and this happens every time after a coach is gone, we NEVER see these reports while they're here and as fans have no way to truly evaluate what is going on with the building of the program. I love Jerry Carino but the only real press reports of the "laziness" of the recruiting was the one ZagsBlog article a few months ago. However, those of us that attended the Court Club meetings could get a sense of Jordan's lack of involvement by the way he answered questions about how the recruiting process works.

We really need to start getting and developing 4 year players.
some of these comments are laughable..maybe the same posters who said "dont worry" when Flood couldnt get Jersey kids to commit in football.."Flood will just find great kids from Montana that want to be here"..meanwhile the talent level dropped to an alarming bottom level on Football to the point it will now take Ash several years to rebuild to even compete against B10 squads..Losing Foreman hurts..
is there a worse individual program in the country than Rutgers basketball?
-can't field a full roster
-nobody goes to games
-coach won't recruit or teach fundamentals
-constant blowouts
-awful facilities
-constant roster turnover
-Cleveland browns level of coaching changes
-recruiting couldn't be any worse

Comparing Flood ability to Pikiell is just as funny,lol.Very different coaches as far as the resume goes.
that's just not true, there is talent on the football roster that was terribly mismanaged.
Would you say Robert Martin, Hicks, Patton, Agudosi, Grant, Bless Austin, Dorian Miller, Cole, Turay, etc are not talented?
We're thin at LB which is true, but otherwise every position has plenty of talent. They were outschemed and not developed to their potential
Can we not bash the kid here. It's very low and classless. Bash Jordan all you want but show some class.
