Thanks. Nothing on Issa but what can he say under the circumstances.

First question -Star Ledger - sheesh

Not surprising. SL is looking for something juicy to sell papers not a bunch of coach speak about the team.

Just want to note that I tried to ask a question on if the team was down on having to play in the first round after all the talk of getting the bye and after playing well. Didn't get through.

Looks like Issa was officially kicked off team today per article today:

“A Rutgers University basketball player was kicked off the team Monday after he was accused of slapping a woman in the face a half-dozen times and swinging a kitchen knife at her when she refused to give up her cellphone.”

This is worse than I thought it was gonna be. Not good if true.

I had heard a watered-down version of this. This is worse than I thought.

Uh, I believe that’s called a journalist doing his job.

Does Pike use the now available ship on 2019 or 2020?

The dream scenario would be Massoud and a grad transfer athletic 4 in the 2019 class.

The dream scenario would be Massoud and a grad transfer athletic 4 in the 2019 class.

Massoud is a pipe dream. First off you need Manning to be fired. Then you need Massoud to ask out of his LOI. Then you need him to pick Rutgers at a time when other major programs who are scrambling for a guy will be all over him. Not happening.

I wouldn’t be so sure

The fact his brothter is RU bound (and I believe saw the basketball atmosphere vs PSU?) gives us an advantage over many other schools

That's the spirit we need....!!.....:chairshot:

Better than my spirit.....after seeing LSU news.

Would seem to be pretty far from a pipe dream as there is first, a good chance of Manning getting fired, and second, its been pretty much acknowledged all along how much he and his brother want to play together. Doesn't sound like a pipe dream to me.

I think this is the first time I agree with Chow. Not saying it's going to happen, but I wouldn't call it a pipe dream.

Perhaps his brother playing at same school competes with “strong ass offers” at other schools.
