A and J Williams as a bigger backcourt tandem would be interesting.
They do it all the time in professional sportsYou mean “team guy” on the basketball floor, correct? Because “team guys” in the locker room don’t spend all off season being the face of the program and waiting until the eve of the portal closing to walk out the door. Because we had team guys like Ron, Geo and Caleb who stayed.
Didn't you hear. Pike pushed him out of here per @NewJerseyHawk
Disgusting that hawk spread that fake rumor about a college kid.
He made the winning shot to defeat highly ranked Purdue on the road.He also made the winning shots in other games.Spencer is having a terrific season with UConn because that they run a half court offense that creates open 3 point shots for all the players.I liked Spencer's game a lot and miss him but against top teams he rarely had his best games.
So your saying pike prioritized Mag and others over Spencer.Pushed out is a little harsh.....just not a priority over 2024 recruits. Not everyone deserves top dollar as a 1 year rental over players who have been RU players from Day one out of HS......not worth the cost IMO.....Mag and others were prioritized, sorry this disappoints you.
Cam would instantly be our best offensive player by 10 foldCam Spencer is really good despite the nonsense Hawk is somehow still willing to spout about him
Not necessarily. Having Mag for next years group is more important than having Spencer for this years current team. The ceiling is much higher next year . Even with Spencer this years teams ceiling was a bubble team.So your saying pike prioritized Mag and others over Spencer.
That would be a terrible job by Pike.
Yup. They never stop attacking coaches. After games , during games and before games they do their kindergarten act. After a win they tend to shut up. The biggest abusers are the bs experts especially, for me, the guy that writes 5 page essays. You know many really effective people will tell you it's easy and weak to do the blame game.. I've said it often many of them contribute with their mouths and nothing else to help RU.All the RU MBB board experts have once again proven themselves to know very little to less. The newest craze ( knocking Pikiell’s coaching ability) … if it’s not Greg Schiano or Steve Pikiell it will be the wrestling coach… baseball coach…
To put it another way, we had games where the other team overplayed him, because he was the biggest threatHe made the winning shot to defeat highly ranked Purdue on the road.He also made the winning shots in other games.Spencer is having a terrific season with UConn because that they run a half court offense that creates open 3 point shots for all the players.
Wrong. Mag fits very well w/ Ace & Dylan next year.So your saying pike prioritized Mag and others over Spencer.
That would be a terrible job by Pike.
He got the intel from our coaching staff who supposedly made similar comments after the game. I think the gambling might only be a half year suspension now.Andy Katz is an idiot. What is the reasoning behind thinking he'll be back? Didn't the NCAA come out with guidelines requiring a season-long suspension?
You wish you made the money and had the job he does. Katz didn’t make this up. He was fed the info by Pike or B Knight. Those two guys are the one that leak info. Brandin leaked stuff at the last cc meeting also. Someone put it on the sight and a moderator confirmed it. It happens at every program.Andy Katz is an idiot. What is the reasoning behind thinking he'll be back? Didn't the NCAA come out with guidelines requiring a season-long suspension?
He reported what our coach told him.Andy Katz is an idiot. What is the reasoning behind thinking he'll be back? Didn't the NCAA come out with guidelines requiring a season-long suspension?
One the one hand, there are good reasons why they left. Neither Paul or Cam are going to be in the NBA or are independently wealthy. So getting a 500k payout is a literal life changer. And RU couldn't match it. It's legitimate to point out that they shouldn't have waited so long. I agree, but I can also speculate that neither Paul or Cam really knew or had on their radar the NIL riches that they could get for leaving. So I don't think either of them planned to leave or they would have done so sooner. They were poached with offers we couldn't match and they couldn't refuse.You mean “team guy” on the basketball floor, correct? Because “team guys” in the locker room don’t spend all off season being the face of the program and waiting until the eve of the portal closing to walk out the door.

Katz is far from an idiot.Andy Katz is an idiot. What is the reasoning behind thinking he'll be back? Didn't the NCAA come out with guidelines requiring a season-long suspension?
With the portal you can't rely on expectations two years down the road. Think the next year.Wrong. Mag fits very well w/ Ace & Dylan next year.
Yep, he has two years after this one whether he plays or not.Yea I could be wrong but wouldn’t he be using a year of eligibility this year whether he plays or not? He already redshirted last year at Iowa State
Very consistent other than the big dropoff in his 3-point shooting percentage in his second year. Hope he’s improved in that area.JWill statistics from Temple:
2020-21 (true freshman):
2021-22 (soph):
- Started all 16 games (season limited by pandemic), averaging 32.6 minutes per game
- 9.3 ppg on 43.4% FG overall (53-122) and 32.4% 3-pt (11-34) -- tied for 3rd leading scorer behind stars Khalif Battle and Damian Dunn
- 4.1 apg, and A/TO ratio of better than 2-1 (65a, 30to)
- 3.6 rpg
- FTs 65.% (31-46)
So this is a very consistent player who can give you 9 or 10 ppg, about 4 apg (very good for college), and 3.5 rpg, but not a high-volume shooter or scorer. FTs need work too. Hopefully all aspects of his game have improved since he last played two years ago, but right now -- assuming these stats translate -- he would be our best guard.
- Started 21 of the 22 games in which he played (Temple played 29 games total, so he must've had an injury), averaging 31.1 minutes per game
- 9.5 ppg on 41.7% FG overall (75-180) and 23.1% 3-pt (12-52) - 3rd leading scorer behind Battle and Dunn again
- 4.3 apg, and A/TO ratio of about 2-1 (95a, 59to)
- 3.5 rpg
- FTs 63.2% (48-76)
Yeah I’m certainly not going to spend time to find the litany of posts you made about Cam after his transfer, but the above is definitely a major softening by you.Pushed out is a little harsh.....just not a priority over 2024 recruits. Not everyone deserves top dollar as a 1 year rental over players who have been RU players from Day one out of HS......not worth the cost IMO.....Mag and others were prioritized, sorry this disappoints you.
Not to mention any Katz bashing on this board should be strictly prohibitedKatz is far from an idiot.
Absolutely right !Not to mention any Katz bashing on this board should be strictly prohibited
Katz was a 1 one PR machine for RU
