RU vs (T)OSU Game Thread

Need to recruit better and hopefully over time, we'll see change.
Still believe Pikeill and staff have what it takes to become a powerhouse, but this is going to be a long process.

Doesn't need to bring in difference makers. Just needs to bring in B1G caliber players, even average ones.
59% to 40% (thanks to Jake and sa)
And out rebound 36 to 25...
Few fouls and only 10 turnovers..played hard for 8 mins.

Not going to sell any season tickets off this season. Crowds couldn't be much worse than this year so it will probably be about the same. The remaining diehards will show up as usual but no one else is going to be jumping on board.
The Seton Hall game was sold out as was the Purdue game. When the RAC is full it's a mad house.
the OSU post game ceremonies are something I do not think we will ever see at the RAC, truly believe that...not in my lifetime
Not my job to recruit. Bring in 3* guys like Valdir Manuel, not JUCOs with no offers or 2*s with NEC offers (Mensah/Bullock)
not really...part of Steve..part on guys like Corey who couldnt be bothered to show up either game..and who missed his flight...and not just Corey but a bunch of players...huffing and puffing chests because they beat SHU and then embarrassed by America East bottom feeders who cleaned their jocks
To elaborate, if a coach can't get even 3* players to a Big Ten school then some major questions need to be asked.
To be fair Hartford actually put together a really good year including a win at Vermont this week. But of course we should have beaten both them and Stony Brook by 10+.
We did have to play the top 4 B1G teams a total of 8 times. That’s tough. We looked good for second part of first half. There’s that. PS Ohio St is a pretty obnoxious team.
Get to the RAC on Sunday vs Illinois for Senior Day.
Enough of comparing blowouts one year to the next.
Support the program and give a standing ovation to Mike Williams, Candido Sa, Deshawn Freeman and Jake Dadika.
Oh, and write a check to the R Fund. That is a winner.

If Pike can't find better players than Mensah, Bullock, Sa, Freeman and Doorson then we have no hope. See you in 4 more years then when we have a new coach.
All of his recruits this year and last year were 3 or 4 star recruits besides Mensah and he's probably gone after this year.
Pike needs to show he can play on offensive end. Even with challenged players there was still far too much "whatever" as approach that end, far too Programmed approach. _ and yeah I said either programmed or whatever.
Cannot watch this stuff..

If Pikiell strikes out on the 2019 class, it’s a wrap.
If Bullock was a 3* then that was clearly a miss. His offer sheet did not warrant three stars.
In the last two seasons Rutgers was lucky to win two of the four games against Stony Brook and Hartford .
Yup. And we need to see improvement...regardless of the players. We are seeing the opposite of that.
We might need 4 star players because I have no confident that Pikiell can “coach players up”.
For the millionth time we know why Bullock was taken. It was a good gamble at the time.
It's like the fade route to the back corner of the end zone which also doesn't work for us.
And while it might sound douche-y to say, it was time for Pikiell to run him off last off-season. It happens everywhere and needs to happen here.
Omoruyi has def. improved.
Thiam did not have a good overall year. A few post ups doesn’t change that.
Sanders, Williams, Sa, Doorson, and Freeman have not improved.
We should have took that players girlfriend instead. She probably would have produced more than Bullock and RU would have gotten the player.
I said this year and last years class. The 2016 class was a last minute scramble to put together a recruiting class by Pikiell. Sa will be gone, so will Bullock most likely. Thiam was originally an Eddie Jordan recruit who decided to stay and is developing. Omoruyi is also developing nicely.
only player who improved was Eugene...jury out on Thiam....Sanders..no....Doorson..ugh. Williams before he was hurt..no. Freeman...lmao....Bullock/Mensah train wrecks. Sa...didnt move the needle
All right, well then Harper's offer list doesn't fill me with confidence. Especially to have taken him on in the early signing period. Also not convinced Peter Kiss is going to be much of a contributor based on his stats in the MAAC.
WillIams has no mobility now. Williams, Sa, and Doorson are as good as they will get. None of them are going to turn into Keita Bates-Diop
