From CJ Gettys
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
CJ was a fan favorite for a reason. A one year guy that bleeds Scarlet! Thanks, CJ!
On this day and age its real nice to hear someone appreciative for something. I've lost contact with the program over the years but I think CJ was one of the key players if not kwu player in helping to get Pikiells program rolling at RU!
Offensively its not even close. CJ was a very good offensive player and a good FT shooter too. Defensively it's much closer. Shaq is better man to man, but CJ did a tremendous job of clogging up space in the paint.
terrible calls from Big Ten refs for awhile CJ Gettys edition
and of course...

Too often those that criticize Pike for recruiting Mensah and Bullock rarely praise Pike for recruiting Gettys. And they should . He helped lay the foundation for Rutgers return to respectability.
cj was a good stop gap player . I remember he took a lot of heat here for not fouling the Wisconsin guy (happ?) in the final seconds at MSG.
Shaq is much better on defense - not even close. Gettys was better on offense, but I think Shaq is capable of more than he's shown.
Gettys couldn't play man like Shaq did against Murphy but he did not let guys get easy shots in the paint
Doesn't matter. Different roles and needs. Both good dudes I'm glad played for RU.
One kid like him every year would be a great move. Hopefully Young is that kid next season. Seems like he's been a great help in practice this season!
