Anyone catch Cam’s game vs UNC tonight? Trash talking Bacot and firing up the fan base with huge fist pump. oh, and the teams leading scorer. Remind me again of the posters saying he was too slow and couldn’t create his own shot ? Amazing how good he looks in a real offense that emphasizes player movement and ball movement.
OT: Spencer tonight
- Thread starter MCKnight2004
- Start date
He looked good for us too many nights.
2nd highest scorer on top 5 team in the country. And Hawk will probably still say that Pike pushed him out. 😂
The boards favorite real estate agent said he sucked 😂
Some said pacheco not real back and wouldnt play at good prrogram either
Rutgers self denigration a real thing.

Probably?
More like definitely lol.
If Pikiell himself came on here and told Hawk that wasn’t true he would fire back with a minimum of 20 paragraphs trying to state his case,
People denigrating Spencer have zero understanding of basketball. 2nd leading scorer on a top 5 team, who also contributes in many other ways, but he couldn't have helped RU this year?
HAWK says the combination of points we get from Simpson, Davis and Noah replace Cams scoring…..RU is lucky to get 15 points from the Three of them combined, nevermind his 3.5 assists per game also tops Any Of our guards
Spencer was good. No one denies that. Curious if you guys also stalk your old HS girlfriends on Facebook too?
He’s not here. Move on.
He’s not here. Move on.
I don't know. Does he have another year due to COVID? He's not coming back regardless.
He didnt want to be here. Get over it already…
Wasn't it one poster? I know he accounts for about half the words posted on here, but it's just one person.
Guy hung us out to dry and every time he has a good game we get a new thread of someone longingly saying “Wow, look at him”’
our best player last year, period. And you can’t blame him for upgrading his situation

Another epic fail from Hawk. If you can't see that Spencer is good at basketball, you clearly don't know basketball as well as you think you do
It’s certainly frustrating that he’s gone; would have been an important piece this season, but play hard this season, and hope Dylan commits tomorrow. That’s what really is important now.
Simply posting to say just how good and important of a player he was. And it explains why our team is struggling To score And play well. Despite what some might think, You just don’t replace our 3 best most skilled and most experienced players, Cam, Paul and Caleb.
Cam is a baller. 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on the biggest stage against North Carolina. UCONN is really good and could make another final four this year.
Sad that he is gone but good for him to display his talent. He'll play at the next level.

Watch him on UConn running off screens and very active away from the ball compared to how he would set up camp here and hope the ball found him and you're like 75% of the way to seeing the issues with our coaching staff.
Wait you need to rewrite this into 10 paragraphs to explain to him how wrong he is.
I always find it interesting/weird when someone would come in this type of thread and say, “who cares? Move on. Why do you care?” etc etc. Why are YOU in this thread, and posting in it if you don’t care or have already moved on?
Obviously some of us care. It’s a message board where fans talk about fan stuff. This 100% a normal RU MBB conversation because the guy was here 6 months ago, lol.

He’s better at UConn because he’s not the focal point of the offense and isn’t relied upon to consistently create his own shot against the other teams best defender
Yup, exactly.
Some said he wouldn't be able to play in Rutgers fast paced up tempo offense 🤣
What a joke. He's thriving on a faster more up pace offense at UConn
That’s the amazing thing. There has been a handful of posters who said we were better off without him and the majority have pointed out it’s not the case and that he didn’t want to be here, yet we get another thread on this crap. Why don’t we just start an official Cam watch thread for the year and be done with it? These threads are pathetic.
He felt that playing for UCONN and in the Big East would help develop him into a better player, same as Omoruyi felt Oregon would do for him.
Would you guys take this squabble to Hawk's DMs?? Where's that "beating a dead horse" GIF when you need it?
He's the best player in the country......no one can stop Cam Spencer....his play is the difference between RU being in the Elite 8 this year and hoping RU will be making the NiT......I hope RU can make the NIT again this year without Spencer carrying RU on its back like he did all of last year.
He was a 1st team All B1G player, along with Zach Edey, Hunter Dickinson and 2 to 3 other NBA lottery picks who went to the NBA......RU fans should be fortunate enough to have landed the Patroit League leading scorer the year before......they defeated numerous Blue blood programs like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas and UConn last year for the All B1G and All American Spencer......he's THAT good folks.....he turned down the NBA draft combine and a chance to compete after his elite and unstoppable season at RU.....turned down NBA millions to instead hit the transfer portal to play at UConn.....
I think UConn is going to apply for a franchise opportunity in the NBA, since the Big East profitability and exposure for their sports programs, is now high enough that they can join the NBA...... Adam Silver is overseeing their application, based on Spencer's play, elevating the downtrodden UConn program. I think they can compete with the Knicks and Nets right now. I'm going to buy my Spencer jersey right away, it will be worth a lot of money down the road.
I wish I had more time to explain how critical a loss Spencer was to this program. He earned such a building block status, helping RU reach new heights with our NIT appearance last year......didn't fans know that it had been almost 15 years since RU (lead by Spencer) was even good enough to qualify for the NIT.....
We had to schedule and try to defeat the likes of Seton Hall, Temple, and play 2 games vs the mighty Minnesota Golden Gophers....Spencer was so elite in those contests (especially the toughest game of all, at Minnesota), it's just too bad the rest of the RU team and Pike and staff, couldn't hold up their end of the bargain and forced Spencer to lose vs those powerhouse programs.
Not sure what I'll do now that he's gone. I heard that all the recruiting is in trouble now because he transferred out. We'll never get any talent into the program that's better. I hope one day, UConn won't be able to just pluck the players from our roster, hopefully their NBA application gets approved and we won't have to worry about losing any other players to them down the road.
I also heard Dean Reiber put up big numbers the other day....maybe it was Jalen Miller, can't actually remember....one of them scored some points, the game was on ESPN 3 or something like that.
It's just unfortunate that when we made the NIT last year that the NIT wasn't even held at MSG anymore. It's probably better off that we lost in the NIT to Hofstra, it would have been expensive for the RU fans if we made the NIT finals, it was held in Vegas. At least Geoff Billet was able to actually WIN his NIT games back in the day.....his team was actually able to win enough to get to the NIT finals and MSG. The rest of the RU team Spencer played on last year, wasn't good enough to support Spencer and his 1st team all B1G play.
I hope one day, RU will actually be able to recruit another guard that's as close to Spencer's abilities. Hoping that day arrives sooner than later......

I dunno. Half the posts seem to be attacking Hawk before he even posted in this thread and a bunch of others are taking shots at Pike. Seems like these threads are really more about bashing on other posters for the previous opinions they expressed and Pike for shortcomings after losses than anything else.
This is what it looks like when someone is soooo wrong about something and won’t have the balls to admit it folks.
Take note.

Let’s face it, Geo’s got nothing compared to Hawk on basketball analysis. He barely wrote a sentence. 😂
Just further proof of Pike’s inability to properly utilize offensive talent. Better change the philosophy if you want to take next step
UConn will have played Kansas,North Carolina and Gonzaga as out of conference opponents this season.They clearly have the talent to compete at the highest level of competition and are now the top basketball program in the northeast replacing Villanova.
I'll take this nonsensical response as an admission of defeat.
Has to attempt the strawiest strawman that ever strawed to still try to make himself right in his own head. Tough to watch
