Thanks,Dave.

Pikiell always gives a shout out to the RAC and the fans. He has identified the payers.

Gotta like that. Lots of good stuff in there.

Sa has a frame that oozes with potential. If he is tuned in, he can become a contributor.

I think at this point, still 65-70% chance Sander comes back.

You will see a lot more people leave with the amount of money the d league will be paying next year. I hope whatever any of these kids do, they find the best opportunity for themselves.

Sounds like he has high expectations for Sa next year who was a disappointment

Dave,
Do you make anything out of Pikiell mentioning Karl Hobbs? Sign he is staying?

 

[MV9000]

Hearing Deshawn is working on his shot, Eugene is looking big and ready and a few other players are training hard is great news. Also think Mike Williams has a huge year.

Excellent interview because it addressed many of the issues on fans minds,

I found the hobbs mention interesting also. Made me wonder when the interview was conducted

Also, there was some chatter/predictions on Sa transferring...i would say coach's comments put them to rest (personally, i like Sa's upside and we need size/length so i am happy)

I don't make anything out of it either way. I don't know exactly when Aaron talked to Coach.

 

[RU82]

Good things have a way of happening to people who work as hard as Pike.

 

[SkilletHead2]

Would have loved to hear what Pike would say about shooting. I know he mentioned it, but it would have been nice for a direct question on that. Just a suggestion.

Great interview, Dave.

Thanks!

Love Coach Pike!

The best news this off season is that our coach and staff will not be "outworked" when it comes to recruiting and rebuilding the program. We can only hope they realize the fruits of their labor. Hopefully, some players see the benefits of working with a quality staff.

Great interview, Dave.

Thanks!

Love Coach Pike!

Thanks, but this is all the hard work of Aaron Breitman.

Thanks, but this is all the hard work of Aaron Breitman.

Great job Aaron Breitman!

I found the Sanders answer interesting. Normally you will hear coaches say or insinuate that they will help the player make the decision.

My internal odds are at 62.5% he comes back.

I think the sheer amount of high level HS players who have mentioned Rutgers in one way or another when it comes to recruiting is certainly a positive. The link below has to be encouraging to any Rutgers hoops fan.
