Let's be honest.....my confidence level of him being within 5% of being a 25% shooter is pretty high. I a a statistics minor and i realize my reasoning would get me a F
Pikiell Sucks
- Thread starter richthedentist
- Start date
If want to blame someone then blame two players , Cam Spencer and Paul Mulcahy because they put coach Pickel in a difficult position. Some of these guys will look better next season but going forward with injuries and inconsistent play will be it this season so buckle up.
I do think the way the Big 10 schedule happened hurt Griffiths' PT. Against Michigan he can go against Will Tschetter. Against Maryland he can go against Jamie Kaiser. Wisconsin and Northwestern are not wildly athletic.
Meanwhile teams we played early like Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Nebraska (add Wake Forest and Mississippi State too) were much more athletic on the wing.
Mine would be very low. He's definitely over 30% from 3 if he had a large sample size. He was 46% and 36% the last two seasons
Yeah I don't really understand GRF here. He's 32.1% career. Why would you put him on the range 20-30%?
Not a good coach lol you can’t be serious right , go look at that man’s win total at this program compared to others and come back with your facts
Don’t blame them … blame the short sighted staff who never thought they would leave. Did you support NIL? Or in favor of establishing a pay for play system? No this is on Pikiell, staff and Rutgers NIL funding.
Because i am being emotional and he missed the last few.
Youre right but people dont wanna hear it. For example, power rankings wise, big ten football was down this year. Since theres separate divisions, we look at fpi power index rankings. Rutgers football finished 7th. Which means if it was bball, thats a tourney team. But no one is sucking schiano off for finishing 7th after taking over a MASSIVE rebuild. But in pikes 4th year when he finished 10th amongst big ten teams in kenpom people wanted a statue built.
People have much higher expectations of schiano than pike. Not sure why.
If they are going to decide to leave don’t play games with the back and forth thoughts, both of them had plenty of time to inform coach Pickel of there decisions , every other player did without the fish and games , one of them ended up coming back and what makes matters worse is Paul Mulcahy positioned status never changed lol , still playing off the bench and remember he went figuring he could be a full time starter you know that guy lol but never happened.
What does Woolfolk bring other than a warm body to spell Cliff ? He’s not even half as talented and valuable as Reiber was.
Oskar is definitely a better three point shooter than the backcourt chuckers we have, plus he’s tall enough to get rebounds on a team that desperately needs help there.
Not saying he’s among the most talented players we have, but he does help address glaring needs.
They hated Greg Schiano from day one. Why? They saw him as a Joe Paterno Penn State guy and not the up and coming 32 year old with more experience than many others. We sucked his first 3 years … we had little money , no infrastructure , no chance to get to this level. Our leadership other than Bob Mulcahy was poor. Talent was limited. He wasn’t the choice of some former players and that is just a fact… they felt he did not respond to their suggestions for where the program’s direction should be going . More than most realized in the general fanbase . Fans loved his energy but doubted he would ever succeed. People still fing cry about him bringing 80 recruits to a National TV game…RU kidding me? Pikiell will succeed and Schiano will succeed but it takes $$$$ now more than ever.
If coach Pickel had enough time to find the right replacements then this post wouldn’t be here , he had to settle for what he could find and obviously it’s not working out how ever he has some good players coming in next season and the only thing that concerns me is the loss of big cliff , other wise they will be fine next season and like deon sanders quoted !! You better get me now while you can lol
Watch who you calling moron idiot, you don’t see me calling anyone names on this post so don’t be so disrespectful unless that how you’re parents taught you to be knucklehead.
I would tend to agree with you. My one problem is that Pike went after Noah before any of the Cam and Paul stuff happened.
Noah has been terrible. Makes me question if Pike would have found anyone better if Paul an Cam had left earlier.
Yeah true but remember most of the batch was gone from the portal and Noah was the only one good enough to get at the last minute
You do know the guy’s name is Pikiell NOT Pickle…know the name before making your posts….
Coach Plickiell is a fine coach and Bob had terrible parents.
There are no typos, there are only the Real Fans who know the coach's name is Coach Stove Pickle and those other morons with subpar upbringings who think it is Pikiell.
Can't believe nobody screenshotted Eugene's "coach Pikeil" Instagram farewell
O
At least he’s had some very good games. We’ve really moved the goalposts for Gavin. Now we celebrate 11 points, 1 rebound and less than 5 turnovers as if he’s the next coming of Dan Waterstradt (RIP) or Jamal Phillips.
If Noah has been terrible, what does that make Gavin and Woolfolk ? What term means worse than terrible ?

If Cam and Paul stayed it wouldn't have mattered as much though. Noah would just be at the end of the bench behind Paul Cam Simpson JMike Gavin
Problem is with Paul and Cam gone, we were counting on Noah being a legit B1G starting PG and he's not anywhere close to that unfortunately
I dunno. Wondering if it was because he wanted a higher level of ball security due to a combination of PSU Defense and RU making a lot of unforced errors with the ball.
This wasnt the 1st time we saw ball pressure. Only explanation is to hide Gavin on D
What was the infatuation with Noah Fernandes? It pissed off Paul and likely caused his defection. That initial
portal bumble in turn has ruined Cliff.
We never needed a pg, we needed a glass cleaning big and a shooter. Those additions should have been doable in the portal with the exit of Jalen Miller, Dean Reiber, and the ever useless Oskar Palmquist.
As far as figuring it out, I still think Mag holds value for next year, we shouldn't alienate him and it seems like Pike is trying to give him some rest. After seeing his backstory and beautiful host family from Napa, these are connections you have to keep.
GG should be starting the rest of the year. And J-Mike will be on the roster with Ace.
Everyone else is expendable assuming Pike has a proper plan for the portal. We need more CJ Gettys, Cams, and Yeboahs to pair with the dynamic duo
This years portal crop is a gaggle of Souf Mensah’s.
Lastly, Pat Hobbs needs use his law degree to make some noise about the ncaa sitting on their hands about Jeremiah Williams.

Noah was brought in first when all options were on the table…the Williams’, the Swedish boomerang who still sucks, and Ogbole were the portal pickens in July after late defections and waiting for cliff’s nba decision.
It’s not debatable. Only a clueless moron would think Greg Schiano (whom I like very much) has had more success than Pike.
I realize you have a hyper focus on Gavin on D, but their guards were the driving force that beat us both on O and D (with help from a 1-17 6% from 3 point effort). I think that GG was guarding O'Boyle. IMO Pike was reacting to their guard play which caused a significant amount of points off of turnovers and was also able to effectively keep RU guard penetration to a minimum. When we did get to the rim Wahab was an effective rim protector .....getting past that we missed a pass or some gimme layups (as usual).
