Btw.. unlike many posters here I do not mind any of the threads about former Rutgers players like EO, Kiss, JY, Paul etc. I like seeing what they are doing. So an update thread about Former Rutgers One Year standout Rutgers grad Cam Spenser doesn't bother me 😄
Cam graduated, so he deserves credit for obtaining his Rutgers degree having credits from LOM helping him earn his Rutgers degree and that's a fact that needs to be recognized, not ignored
I’d probably find it less annoying if it wasn’t the second Cam Spencer thread created this week.
Cam's offensive rating, a statistical measure of a player's offensive production, has blasted to #1 out of thousands of division 1 players. A month ago, Cam ranked #7.

Cam's game is peaking in the right place, a UConn shirt, at the right time, the March before the NBA draft.
Recently, mock draft experts are adding Cam to mock draft boards.
When Cam entered portal last year, most TKR posters believed Cam was chasing $. I disagreed, arguing persuasively and accurately Cam was following his older brother Pat's pursuit of the NBA. A few weeks ago Pat - who played less than a year of college basketball and is 27 years old - made his NBA debut with the Golden State Warriors.
A lot more than one.
He owes it all to Rutgers and Pikiell. Hope he gives bigly to the RU NIL.Cam's offensive rating, a statistical measure of a player's offensive production, has blasted to #1 out of thousands of division 1 players. A month ago, Cam ranked #7.

Some of those seem to be on your side but ok, fine, more than one. Has this not been hashed out enough already?
You are correct. Some TKR posters predicted correctly Cam would be difficult to replace, and I want to highlight these comments too.
Pike erected-- huh, huh. He got to the top of Pike's Peak!!!!
I didn’t bring him up . And I don’t think it’s “stirring up shit” by bringing up one of the guys
Are you drunk ??
Loyola also had a guy Cam played with, Santi Aldama, go in the first round, and he is actually doing pretty well in the NBA.
I didn't say you did.
If people were posting about Cam Spencer because they are truly happy he's doing well, then fine. I don't really care but I have no issues with that. But as far as I can tell people are more often bringing him up around here to either (a) rehash arguments from last summer about how difficult he'd be to replace or (b) take thinly veiled (and frankly nonsensical) shots at Pike.
You are speculating why people bring him up . I bring up the facts. Facts matter.
NBA scouts literally don‘t care where you are playing. If you have talent and potential, you will get drafted, even from the lowest levels of college basketball.
I'm with you on him being a Rutgers graduate, and if he makes it to the NBA, we can say that Rutgers has a Rutgers grad in the NBA.
Ha true, but Cam is now popping up on some draft boards, and it is because he is playing for a team that runs its offense that is very conducive to his skill set. Notwithstanding that, I still don’t think he gets drafted, probably can get a G league invite, but can make more money in Europe.
The OP of the thread made a catalog of the previous comments about Cam. Perhaps I am speculating as to the motives behind the thread(s) about Cam but it's speculation that has pretty good evidence behind it.

It's no different than Rutgers claiming Jonah Jackson as a Rutgers grad, even though he grad transferred to Ohio State and Ohio State is listed as his college with ESPN.
Well, maybe it's a little bit different because Jonah spent the majority of his career at Rutgers, but Rutgers claims Gus Edwards, and he only spent a year at Rutgers to get his graduate degree.

I am not a fan because of facts.

Grad degree? I don't have time to look it up. Thought I saw something in Wikipedia.
I didn’t see anything confirming he graduated.
I don’t think there’s a lot of hate here. I think it’s a lot like what happened with Jacob Young where a few posters kept bringing him up over and over again in a way that provokes a negative reaction. Even then, I see basically zero hate in this thread.
But that is how he is listed in his bio. He has a master's degree in public transportation management with a focus on buses. 😜
To the jury has decided based on a mock draft prediction? Btw, I have no stake in the game, but the true answer wont be known until the draft/freee agency shakes out.
