Pikes brilliant strategy

[darkcheck]

Set the bar so low almost any big ten wins next year looks like overachieving. Seriously, we’re back to start. The chance to achieve “the next level” after a few years as a bubble team is over. We didn’t capitalize on our 2019-2022 success. We failed in the recruiting dept til last year and then blew our chance with a great recruiting class in 2024. No plan, no accountability and poor use of the portal (don’t cry for more money the errors started with Ewin who we could have afforded). For those thinking next year can be salvaged with good use for the portal haven’t really paid attention to Pike and the portal so far. We’re at square one and to get back to bubble status will take at least 3-4 years as it did before for Pike. The problem is this time around you can’t get three stars and hold them for 3-5 years. We may be staring at another 30 years of no ncaa bid. Enjoy the ride.

yep.....16-15/7-13 with an overacheiving lunch pail team will get him another or 2 as the sycophants shout....he is getting back to his style..give him more time to turn things around.

even now half the board refuses to criticize him or the players and try to find every excuse in the book as to why we sucked this year..in fact they still dont believe we sucked and just 6 close games away from making the ncaa

the vegas performance was an aberration...a complete mirage that tainted everyones view of how bad this team really was.

We have failed in the recruiting dept before 2022 even. Souf Mensah says hi.

There are plenty of real examples of bad recruiting you can use. Going with an end of bench guy he brought in as part of his first full recruiting class just seems disingenuous.

 

[newell138]

Pike Peaked a few years ago and in typical Rutgers form it was during Covid when the post season got canceled.

 

[megadrone]

Hold these thoughts until December. Then we can say the same about football.

Except he was brought in to do more than that.

I wonder what the RAC will look like in 30 years ?All those championship banners waiting to be moved to a sparking new arena .

Probably a better way to say it is half of the board continues to make excuses for him.

It’s worse than square one. When pike started, we didn’t have NIL. Now we have no NIL $, a clueless coach who can’t recruit, and almost no potential returning players that anyone would want. This next season that we have to suffer through will set us back more than an additional year.

 

[fluoxetine]

The idea that we are in a worse place now than we were following the trifecta of Fred Hill, Mike Rice, and Eddie Jordan is ****ing retarded.

No one but a very vocal few on this board thinks that…lol.

But I agree. What a dumb opinion

 

[Shelby65]

Pike Peaked a few years ago and in typical Rutgers form it was during Covid when the post season got canceled.

And Schiano, who almost everyone adores, peaked just when three of the four teams he never beat left the conference.

 

[cm_13]

Except he was brought in to do more than that.

Ah so we’re just making shit up now. Got it.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

There is a sone things to consider here

1.) with the revenue sharing and the immediacy of the portal , the combination allows teams to get their program retooled faster than ever …which I think

2.) will lead universities to be more WiN NOW and …shorter coaching contracts .

No reason to sign a coach to anymore 6-8 year contracts out. Predicting it will be reduced to 3-4 . Pay may go up for shorter terms ….

 

[rucoe89]

Football will finish 7-5 or 6-6 but that is not unexpected given their schedule and rebuilding this year. At least they show directional promise compared to where we came from in 2019.

Why is it ok after limited success in 5 years for the football team to have a rebuilding year in year 6?

But god forbid pikiell have a rebuild 3 years after a tourny bid.

The criticism pike receives compared to Greg in this board has always been head scratching to me

Pike is in year 9 with a six year downward spiral.

Greggy is a clown and cost us the citrus bowl and has never won anything. Fired after one season on the NFL, fired as a DC from OSU, fired from Tennessee before he started. He doesn’t deserve to be here.

 

[fluoxetine]

lol six year downward spiral

 

[RUDivision]

lol six year downward spiral

- Covid year his best team
- Made tournament won 1 game (Pike lost Houston game)
- Play in game
- self destructed NIT 1 seed lost at home
- losing season
- losing season , struggled to make conf tournament with 2 top 3 picks , lost first round of BTT

Pretty simple Floux

Maybe some analytics or luck stats can make the facts seem better

The last six seasons include three* NCAA teams and like the 2nd team out. It is, sadly, the best six year stretch of Rutgers basketball since like the 70s. You’re trying too hard

 

[RUDivision]

I just listed his last 6 seasons and heavy year he has gotten progressively worse and accomplished less each year. Facts

 

[RUDivision]

1 NCAA team 1 play in team

Let’s be factual it’s not 3

 

[fluoxetine]

I mean do you think he’s in cognitive decline or?

 

[fluoxetine]

No, **** that, if you want to even be a little bit honest about this he gets credit for a 2020 tournament team. We were projected for like a nine seed there was no realistic way we weren’t making it.

And the first four is also part of the tournament whether you like it or not.

 

[RUDivision]

His career at Rutgers is! Each season we have accomplished less and done so littered with coaching, recruiting, and Portal mistakes growing exponentially

 

[needmorecowbell]

I can’t laugh hard enough at this. 😂 my goodness you have lost your mind? Or you never had it. They won 1 big ten game when Pike took over and no one was at the RAC. The place was empty and they got destroyed every night. You are nuts.

 

[RUDivision]

No, **** that, if you want to even be a little bit honest about this he gets credit for a 2020 tournament team. We were projected for like a nine seed there was no realistic way we weren’t making it.

There was no tournament! You want credit for 2020 great then he does not make the play in game in 2022 because all the Covid kids would have been gone.

It’s ok he’s not a good coach! Excuses will continue to mount.

Next year we will have a losing record but will be better defensively and all the Pike apologists will scream are defensive numbers.

It’s over it’s easier to just accept it

 

[fluoxetine]

Again, is there some mechanism making him get worse?

If my next 6 golf rounds are 74, 76, 77, 80, 81, 85 should I conclude I am slowly getting worse at golf?

 

[fluoxetine]

There was no tournament!

**** you troll. I’m not sure why I’ve given you the time of day for so long but this is the dumbest shit ever.

His teams abilities to win games . You know the major reason he s paid to be here?

Golf great! Your analogy is flawed because you’re using 6 rounds to compare to six years.

The right analogy is if your GHIN over 6 years not rounds. If your GHIN went from +2 ,+ 5 , +7 , +10, + 14, +15. Then yes you are slowly getting worse at golf.

 

[RUDivision]

**** you troll. I’m not sure why I’ve given you the time of day for so long but this is the dumbest shit ever.

Floux if there was the 2020 tournament which I said was Pikes best team then those kids graduate and 2022 doesn’t happen. Can’t have it both ways

 

[RutgersChow]

It’s worse than square one. When pike started, we didn’t have NIL. Now we have no NIL $, a clueless coach who can’t recruit, and almost no potential returning players that anyone would want. This next season that we have to suffer through will set us back more than an additional year.

Firing him will cost us a lot of money. This is a business. How much will it cost us to keep him?

 

[fluoxetine]

If your GHIN went from +2 ,+ 5 , +7 , +10, + 14, +15. Then yes you are slowly getting worse at golf.

Technically that means I’m getting better and in fact might be the best golfer in the world.

 

[fluoxetine]

Floux if there was the 2020 tournament which I said was Pikes best team then those kids graduate and 2022 doesn’t happen. Can’t have it both ways

Ugh, dude. There is something about you that makes me believe you are sincere. I think it’s because you defended Geo on NIL which I honestly did respect.

Every team had the advantage of extra covid years so I don’t think this logic makes sense.

 

[RUDivision]

Remove the plus but you get it

I really don’t know why some of you can’t make a point without using extreme hyperbole. Just makes you look ridiculous. No one is happy with this season. But some of you say the craziest things. 🤷‍♂️
