Here it is in black and white. Pike is coming off a second year, without making any postseason, coaching a team with 2 top 4 NBA picks. If you are now a kid looking at the roster, we are returning 4 kids (maybe one starter) and 4 freshman. You then have to evaluate how this team is going to look, and not one portal kid has signed.
Could you come in an get immediate starting minutes? Of course. But unless we get 4 legit Big 10 starters, this team coulld very well finish at the total bottom.
Kids were waiting for the results of the Dylan and Ace team, and it didn't work out.
I'm not sure how Pikiell reinvents his success at Rutgers. He may need to do it elsewhere.
I know he wants to go back to playing hard nose defense, but that's not going to work when you have young kids playing 23 year olds.
