Meh. Rutgers did not have anyone on the B1G all-conference third team for the 2018-19 season, or the all-defensive team, or the all-freshman team. Geo Baker earned Honorable Mention honors but honorable mention is a long way from second team all-conference.not even second team all big10??
Do you have even a remote idea how hard it is to be even second-team?not even second team all big10??

Not unrealistic. On paper things look promising. But in the end you have to deliver on the court. I would take an invitation to the Dance led by a solid 9-10 man active rotation (all contributing in some way on the court) over a person on 2nd team All-B1G and no invitation to the Dance. I think the team would too.not even second team all big10??
If Rutgers averages 70 points per game,I think a winning season will happen and players will get some individual recognition .My utopia Rutgers blueprint has balanced scoring 1 thru 5.....if we score 70 then it is 14 points per slot. If top guys get 30 MPG then you are looking at 10.5 PPG. Not making any conference teams....at least from a player standpoint
The Iowa board is more on the Rutgers train bc they needed a miracle heave to beat us at the buzzer then got stomped the second time aroundMost of the disrespect comes from uninformed media. It's one thing to select all-conference players, but it's another thing to choose how teams will finish when you don't pay attention to teams outside the top 3. I was on the Iowa board, and they can't believe Rutgers is picked to finish 12th. Their fans think Rutgers is inside the top 10. But you do have some fans who are haters like Minnesota who continue to believe Rutgers ain't sh*t and will never be sh*t.
I'm ok with that. We put our foot on their throats, and now they are showing a little respect. That is what Rutgers has to continue to do if others are to stop talking BS. I like to see Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Penn State next. Those teams are there for the taken.The Iowa board is more on the Rutgers train bc they needed a miracle heave to beat us at the buzzer then got stomped the second time around
This list of list of the Top 30 (non frosh) players in the country has freshmen in it.+1. Someone on the National CBB board posted their list of the Top 30 (non frosh) players in the country. Seven (7) are in the B1G. This conference has a lot of high end talent. Making 2nd Team All-B1G is HARD. Kids like Anthony Cowan or Kaleb Wesson may make Honorable Mention All-American and NOT make 1st Team All-B1G.
Here is the list:
Big Ten (7)
1. Cassius Winston, Michigan State
8. Jalen Smith, Maryland
14. Lamar Stevens, Penn State

Izzo gave Eddie Jordan respect.Izzo gave RU much respect. He knows RU can give teams a run for their money.
Young will be the difference maker. Especially agains Winston, Simpson and OSU.. Defensively he's solid.
Nobody said Eddie was as good as Pike. That would be insane. But Izzo did, in fact, state similar things re: Eddie. https://www.nj.com/rutgersbasketball/2016/03/tom_izzo_eddie_jordan_rutgers_michigan_state.htmlLol.. Did RU almost beat MSU when Eddie was here. RU was up by 11 at one point and just emploded or out coached. RU had Izzo a little nervous during the game. .Did Eddie produce the caliber of players RU has now. I'll wait.
I don't really care about these awards. We need to win enough games to get us to post season. Harper looks like he has a really big future ...
Looking forward to having our name called on March 15th slightly after 6 pm
Maybe you get lucky and Rutgers plays in Albany, NY......and then booking hotel/airfare 30 minutes later

I do live in Florida. I might be covering the first two rounds in Tampa. I usually get some extra work when the tournament is in Florida.or Florida and we can stay at your place....assuming you live in Florida
All that matters.I don't really care about these awards. We need to win enough games to get us to post season. Harper looks like he has a really big future but we need to win before an individuals get real recognition.

This is true. When Izzo praised the job Pikiell had done, I told people not to give it too much weight because he said a similar thing about Eddie
