Thanks Zak. The tweets vanished by the time I went back to post a link.
The great thing is we will see if he’s right .
I give knight credit, his tweets are better than coach speak . The boheim stuff is classic
That these tweets disappeared is interesting. Save this screenshot and we see if Kent’s source is good enough for knight
Coaches shouldn't be talking to fans on Twitter or message boards - kind of unprofessional IMO.
Maybe RU72 shouldn't be posting undocumented or unnecessary medical related information in regards to the program.....or maybe the information isn't accurate.
Not everything should be posted on Twitter for public consumption, when there's no way to confirm its accuracy. Coach Knight bodied him and none of the information is relevant to the upcoming regular season, everyone is expected to be ready for the season.
It's an overseas trip with no TV coverage or knowledge of the competition and duh, mentioning Mag as not playing on the trip isn't exactly news, is it??
Pretty much a given that neither will be playing overseas considering each are rehabbing… so nothing enlightening from Richard.
speculating, guessing when someone may be ready to play is innocent enough and no one should take offense as to someone else’s opinion. Imo
Don't worry about what Richard Kent says. Worry about getting the ball inbounds against the press. LOL
Yes
I mentioned my opinion elsewhere that guard play is our biggest question mark and that is certainly part of it
No issues with what kent is posting . He is not just some “fan”. He’s an insider/journalist. I look forward to his info.
Also, liked the way knight responded . Like I posted earlier , it was cool the way knight responded to boheim earlier this year .
Let these guys go at it and sit back and enjoy the show.
It is enlightening because of knight’s response . His response infers a doctor may differ with kent
Is this speculation and guessing or someone claiming to have “insider access” to medical information?
There never seems to be a designation (perhaps on purpose so they can project to have inside info about everything).
Even people with inside access are reporting the speculations of others
And this type of info should not be premium at this point, far off season
The insiders could easily be wrong on either and of the guess, unless the player is days away from returning, then their opinion has merit, being so close
I don't care if someone claims to have inside info on this type of news. We are talking about estimates of an injury with a far off deadline
I appreciate all info, and again, anyone saying Mag should be back by a date is giving their estimate
Maybe he's sick of the self serving bullcrap.
I agree, it appears to me that Richard has a good source/sources but his updates have some of his own opinion mixed with actual scoops. The nuggets in his posts are on a spectrum, however they aren't spelled out specifically what is what, and maybe purposefully. Appreciate the information but have to be careful discerning between the two.
I just don’t get the Richard tweet. It’s over 3 months until the Princeton game and anyone claiming Mag “should”be ready to play in that game is way off base. I would think neither drs/trainers have any idea at this point. Knight’s response indicates that Richard has some credibility on RUBB and needed to be challenged. Unfortunately, Richard’s tweet this time is poor judgment.
I’ve always found him posting info to be curious given what he does for a living. But, perhaps I have him confused with someone else.
These guys have different roles, and they are both doing their jobs. Richard is a media figure, and he provided an update that one of our key players should be back to start the season, so breaking an interesting bit of news for Rutgers fans. Brandin, as Mag’s coach is just protecting him from any undue expectations, as he should.
Off the court, coaches can't seem to win no matter what they do or say. Fans roll their eyes at meaningless "coach speak" but also complain when they reveal too much or get testy on twitter. Personally sports is all entertainment to me - so I have no problem with Knight's tweet.
Well, I think one thing is clear, Knight isn't Richard's source... Unless Knight is using reverse psychology on us!😳lol
Kent and knight also probably don’t go to the same doctor !
I am pretty sure he wrote a book on Vivian stringer .
He also breaks more rutgers news than other “media figures”
Many of us have written a book or two that doesn't qualify you as a " media figure "
Can you site a couple of the stories he's broken that actually were correct? Seems he's been wrong very often or innuendo or was spouting bs already out to the public.
Can you tell me what books you wrote ? Would love to read them
