I've seen enough,the future looks bright.

Sure, I would like to see one or two more wins, hopefully no more blowouts, but by and large,I think we've found our coach to lead us out of the abyss.I really think,this class with hopefully a seasoned Junior college transfer or two,might make this team a NIT team as early as next year being a 18 -20 win team. I wonder if any players are transferring after the season to possibly open up another spot or two?

Even with no further changes, have to like 4 seniors, Williams, Johnson, Freeman, and Sa. Sanders a junior with the JUCO PG and frosh Baker solidify the back court. Need an upset in the next 3, plus a win over Illinois, and possibly 1 in the tournament. Then NIT next year is a real possibility.

Bringing the same players back who can't shoot will not get Rutgers a NIT bid which now requires around 20 wins..

True, but Baker can shoot, and bringing in a true PG frees up our combo guards to concentrate on improving their shooting.

I really don't think most people realize how far behind we are in talent level. We don't have single guy on the roster that can consistently shoot and you need at least 3 that can make some shots. We also don't have a truly competent post scorer, sorry but Freeman has shown to be undersized and inconsistent.

I really like this new coaching staff and how they have the team playing but we really need more talent. I am skeptical the JC PG and Baker are going to have the impact some are hoping for. That means we need to wait for 2018 and even if we recruit well they will just be freshman.

I do not mean to be negative but we need more than just one player to get us to the NIT next year. As JMM said, NIT requries 20 wins probably and the talent level besides Sanders is full of bench and role players. RU needs legit Big 10 talent. Hopeful it comes for 2018
