Greetings from Piscataway. Day two of full practice for Rutgers
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Hyatt with how he played overseas.
Fast? We're not going to recognize our team if we are playing fast on offense! I would like a Nolan Richardson-like 40 minutes of Hell type revival, if we have the depth and horses to pull that off. The press can be a weapon with Mag back at point and Cliff protecting the rim deep, if our other three defenders are quick enough to create havoc. Add in an attacking mindset to quickly get and take good shots, including a lot of 3s, and whoa nelly!
Should we queue up Run Rutgers Run, born to run?
Not if you know to read them. Jerry was spot on last year with MAG "looking impressive in practice". Carino does know what he is looking at.
Jerry’s a good guy but he’s no better of a talent evaluator than the average fan. Which is to say he’s not good at it.
He told us Reiber was the starting 4 as well
Blessed to have seen that team.
Many years ago when I was in Boston I saw a car with the following Massachusetts vanity license plates: RU312
(For those who don't know, 31-2 was RU's final record in 1975-76)
I've always wondered if it was a fan, someone connected with the team in some manner, or meant something that had nothing to do with Rutgers.
This is repeated often here.
Carino just reported what Pikiell was running in practice. He was running the first team lineup with Cliff and Reiber on the court at the same time. Blaming Carino for reporting what he saw is a little off base.
Good writeup. Pike feels the need for speed.

Not blaming him per se, more pointing out that you can't always take what he says as gospel. For what it's worth I typically enjoy his articles.
That was a great piece by Carino. Lots of good info. Hopefully we put it all together and get into the dance on a "transition year".
My guess would be one of the players that were already on last years team
Only because it would seem more natural for it to happen
Don’t need to. I remember just last year when he predicted that Chol would have a place in the rotation. Almost every year he has a prediction that falls completely flat.
Nothing against the guy. I just know that he’s no better at evaluating talent than I am, and I’m not very good at it.
Nothing he said here seems to be about evaluating talent though. It’s about the style of play he’s seeing in practice.
What Carino is saying aligns with the way the team was playing during the overseas tour. Nothing is for certain until the season starts but everything we’ve seen thus far tells us that this team is going to play a very uptempo style of basketball.
Mag at the point on the press. His crazy athleticism and length made the press a true weapon. No one could replicate him there. He was a true disruptor.
Did we point switch last season? I don't remember it from last year but saw it in the games in Portugal and on the practice video. Interesting change, maybe we didn't want to switch with Caleb/Paul/Cam? Or maybe the guys are just more demonstrative in pointing this year.
Yes indeed, this is what I meant. Best defender I can recall at the top of the press. Quick, strong, athletic, bouncy... he hassles the inbound pass, then can quickly trap whoever receives that... what a nightmare for the opposition!

"The Scarlet Knights ranked 264th out of 363 Division I programs last season in tempo"
Can somebody translate this stat for me? How is it measured?

You can find tempo or possession stats online without much problem, but you can also calculate them easily for your self if you want. The formula is just:
Possessions = field goal attempts – offensive rebounds + turnovers + (0.475 x free throw attempts)
To be fair to Carino last year, he did the report on Reiber at the 4 early, like this report, and I think that seemed to be the plan going into the season until Reiber had that injury between Carino's report and the first game. Pike went in a different direction to start the season and Dean's playing time or role never materialized again.
