The hits just keep on comin’ with this season

 

[ajwsc1987]

Hoping he has a speedy recovery and gets back to full health, but man this season is a nightmare.

 

[bac2therac]

Season cant end soon enough

Good luck to EO on his surgery and recovery

 

[Rufaninga]

That hurts.

Rough, hopefully the rest of the teams we play have no large men on their roster

 

[Knight Owl]

Guess again.😬

Well you got Michigan with the 2 bigs twice , Maryland with the 2 bigs and Purdue again So that is 4 games for sure.

 

[biazza38]

I watched Maryland last night (with Queen & Reese), and you really have to wonder what coach was thinking when he constructed this roster

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I hate this season.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

So who plays the five when Lathan is on the bench?

 

[AdventureHasAName]

Taking into account reasonable expectations, this is the worst season of Rutgers Basketball I can ever remember (I'm 49 years old).

 

[koleszar]

Season was over anyway. The only thing left, was to keep games respectable and hopefully make the B1G tournament.

 

[RUfromNJ]

This season has been a nightmare.

Best of luck w/the recovery, EO.

 

[Smols]

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Can we get Wolfolk back lol

 

[lion1983]

So who plays the five when Lathan is on the bench?

Martini and Grant. RU does have a 6'10" walk-on.

 

[G- RUnit]

Kid worked hard and was improving.
Was becoming a bonafide rebounder.
Hope surgery and rehab goes well.
Godspeed and speedy recovery EO.

 

[rume]

Hope he is okay and speedy recovery.

 

[stribucher]

Hate to see EO get hurt but he was a disaster on pick and roll defense. Time to play 5 out basketball with Martini? I can only imagine how badly we will get out rebounded by Sparty, Illinois and Michigan State just to name a few.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

NJ Hawk will be happy.

Here comes Dortch.

Good luck to EO on his surgery and recovery

Please fast-forward to May 2025

Please… yours kidding right

 

[Scangg]

This was the other reason I said before the season only having Lathan and EO was risky. Could not afford an injury

I guess it's less depressing since the season is already a huge disappointment

 

[Zak57]

We're in the basketball forum and this was tagged as a basketball post? Also deleted the message from Rutgers about this in my post. Why?

 

[bac2therac]

Next man up

 

[RocktheRac]

We will need huge huge backup for next year because these guys especially big guys never recover fully from these injuries

 

[ajwsc1987]

Next man up

Realistically, who do you see as the "next man" in this cast? Martini?

 

[billgumpper]

Grant, this season is over

 

[bac2therac]

Zak and Dylan get more opportunities

No question it has been a nightmare relative to expectations. But it's still fun to watch Ace and Dylan perform. I started paying attention in 1983. They are doing stuff I've never seen a player in a Rutgers uniform do. I'm going to enjoy watching them play the rest of the season, even if I'm consistently disappointed in the final score. Given how much you care, you may as well make the best of it as well.

Season was already over

Im not having fun

Please… yours kidding right

Why would I kid?

 

[RUChoppin]

Get better soon, Ogbole! Gonna be a wild ride on this board the next 4-6 weeks.

 

[S_Janowski]

It could get really ugly when we play teams like Michigan and Maryland.

Ace is gonna need to be really careful not to pick up dumb fouls now.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Pike didn’t play Grant until recently which is mind-boggling. Who knows, maybe Dortsch can play too and was getting the Pike treatment. IMO this really isn’t a big loss. And we weren’t making the tourney anyway.

Along with Pike, Shaka Smart and Buzz Williams wanted Dortch. That alone tells me he has a good chance of enjoying a solid career.

Might have to burn Dorsch red shirt for a few minutes , along with Martini and ACE.

Probably at some other college the way things go these days
