If I remember correctly, and I don't always, their instagram was pretty reliable last recruiting cycle--transfer cycle.
Take a look at what Ryan Young is doing for Duke. I think any high major is in trouble if Cohen is playing 32 minutes a night for them, but skilled interior scoring is a big asset.6'10" 220, doesn't shoot 3's, not a good free throw shooter
seems like a decent passer 2.5 asst/game, good career improvement
8 rebounds/game in one of the weakest conferences where he's likely the biggest guy on the court every game
I'm skeptical
I think you’ve confused yourself as a critic or commentator, not a fan. If it’s a fun event cheering your team on, maybe that’s ok.Yes . Because as fun as 2004 was for us fans , it’s not what this sport is about. This season is a complete disappointment if we don’t make the ncaa tournament

He'd hit 3's and dunk too. A whole different level of athlete and Reiber isn't even good for us.Do we not know if Reiber could put up these type of numbers if he played in the NEC?
Wolf has dunks and is impressive in layup lines, not Cliff but he'll get dunks in games.With that being said Wolf doesn't have a perimeter game, is undersized and plays below the rim. I LOVE HIM AS A BACKUP CENTER.
Generally speaking the very best NEC players can be rotation pieces on high major teams. Quincy McKnight was a decent guard for Seton Hall. The senior version of Peter Kiss could've been a player at the high major level (if you ignore the personality). Elijah Mitrou-Long went from Mount St. Mary's to Texas (he was inefficient at Texas, but he was also inefficient at MSM) and then was a very good player in the Mountain West. Cane Broome was in the rotation for some very good Cincinnati teams.Do we not know if Reiber could put up these type of numbers if he played in the NEC?
Ralph Agee had an 89 and a 94 offensive rating at SJSU. Cohen's is 118. Yes there's a difference in caliber of competition but that's not a good comparison. Agee also had a MUCH lower usage rating. Cohen was getting up a ton of attempts every night, even against teams like Ohio State, Butler, and Miami.Ralph Agee was an undersized big who played below the rim and didn't have a perimeter shot.
You can check him out here... the good and the bad (#33)He'd absolutely be a fantastic backup big, but I don't think he'd be able to do what we need out of our starting center
What year was her final year?CVS turned it down her final year.
Let’s go!I hope people realize that the NIT finals are not at MSG, it's in Las Vegas.....

With the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field, the NIT is not nearly what it used to be.FWIW - Pikiell won the NIT with Uconn in 1988. It's still a pretty big deal to Uconn fans who were Uconn fans at that time.

The clock ran down to zero and Murray Williams, who had chased down a loose ball, flung it high in the air, toward the unreachable rafters at Madison Square Garden. “It was just such a feelin…www.courant.com
How'd be get 30 against Miami and 18 against Ohio State? (both on 16 shots)Shooting translates
Post play when you're used to being the biggest player on the floor at a lower level? I doubt it.
I only watched his 40 point game highlights - but look at where he's catching the ball he’s not getting it there in the Big Ten
I did not know that. Is that new? Because of the Regional Finals there I suppose..hadn't put that together.I hope people realize that the NIT finals are not at MSG, it's in Las Vegas.....
I didn't see the games but 10-13 from the line vs Miami helped and Miami scored 91How'd be get 30 against Miami and 18 against Ohio State? (both on 16 shots)
MSG chose not to bid on NIT. It was drawing 9000 or so and losing money there. I don't think Rutgers is looking at Cohen. Once again on to Ivy kids with eligibility and the bigs at Princeton, Dartmouth and Yale. Look at the success of these players:I did not know that. Is that new? Because of the Regional Finals there I suppose..hadn't put that together.
Didn't Kiss get like 60 points against Seton hallHow'd be get 30 against Miami and 18 against Ohio State? (both on 16 shots)
the tournament was already 64 in 1988With the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field, the NIT is not nearly what it used to be.
True. But the expansion only came in 1985 - doubling the previous 32 team field, so it took a while for it to crumble the NIT. Adding another 4 teams to the NCAA's in 2011 did not help.the tournament was already 64 in 1988
Agree NIT lost it's cache over time, but it came with the NCAA taking at larges IMO
Cliff can get Nil $$ during the Rutgers basketball trip overseas this summerCliff can't use NIL $ for other than charities. You would think he may need to go pro for the money .
Definitely took some time to take it down. And I dislike the 68 team version as well.True. But the expansion only came in 1985 - doubling the previous 32 team field, so it took a while for it to crumble the NIT. Adding another 4 teams to the NCAA's in 2011 did not help.
I think it's been hinted here before, but probably the main reason we are going is for Cliff. He will get his NIL money while he is there. It's like a loopholeCliff can get Nil $$ during the Rutgers basketball trip overseas this summer
Also all the players get a cost of living stipend but it’s not much compared to NIL money
If he stays the 4th year I'll offer my firms services to file his returns.Isn't Clif going to have file international tax returns if he's receiving payments from organizations or companies while overseas?
That seems more of a hassle than it might be worth.
