Big piece!

 

[RUJMM78]

Hayes could be a very important 3 point shooter for Rutgers similar to Spencer at UConn.Opponents will be concentrating on Bailey and Harper leaving open shots for Hayes and other Rutgers players.I'm pretty confident that Rutgers offense won't be having so many long scoring droughts like seen in recent seasons.

 

[MadRU]

Oh boy

 

[chase_NJ]

Very very nice get.

[SBP]

You heard it here first! Let’s GO!

I am happy that Rutgers has added PJ for this coming season. Thank you for believing in RU and best of luck to PJ.

Nice! Seems like the kind of player Iowa has had for years that can get hot and fill it up from deep. Valuable skill set to have on the roster for sure.

 

[BillyC80]

Sa-weet!!!

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Welcome to Rutgers, PJ!

Now we need 3rd big for fouls or in-case-of injury and the roster is set. I like our chances in 24-25.

Seniors Martini, PJ Hayes, Acuff
Juniors JWill, Ogbole, Derkack
Sophomore JaMike
Freshmen Dylan, Ace, Sommerville, Dortch, Grant

Welcome to the Banks PJ

 

[NickRU714]

Great!
Now just make sure he sees the court to take those 3pt shots.

Babyface..you got the cutest little Babyface

Welcome to the Banks PJ

I was thinking the same thing. Baby face baller

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

He also adds experience, which will be valuable to this roster of several talented young players.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

So what is the 9 man rotation going to look like?

 

[IMARUFAN]

Okay ... I'll accept this as proof that there really IS a God.

This is an awesome addition to the team. Welcome PJ!!!

Conan will be a critical part of the offense this year. Just what we needed. Where's our Schlansky?

Absolutely loved the quotes from the nj.com article.

Awesome get.

Welcome PJ!

Why sharpshooter PJ Hayes ‘fell in love’ with Rutgers, chose to transfer to Scarlet Knights

I will be hitting 3-pointers...

 

[toby83]

Sounds good!!

 

[RedTeam1994]

I mean what’s not to like about that interview

The quotes show that the kid is very confident in his abilities, understands exactly what he can provide to this team if he executes but realizes he has to work really hard

Said all the right things

 

[Eagleton96]

Boom!

 

[Knight Shift]

Oh boy

 

[Knight Shift]

Babyface..you got the cutest little Babyface

Welcome to the Banks PJ

Looks a bit like JJ McCarthy, QB from Michigan

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Get 'em ready for the student section

Conan will be a critical part of the offense this year. Just what we needed. Where's our Schlansky?

Well shit. I'm never going to be able to unsee that.

[RutgersClassof2004]

Great add. RU looks stacked. Top 10 before season tips in November.

Did anyone see his tape from Conan State University? IDK.



Bombed at HORSE too.

Looks great. Loved that the video used our wedding song! 🙃

 

[High Quality H2O]

Love the pick up!
But looking at our roster right now without the 5 is like looking at this….

 

[JayDogSmooth]

Great pickup!
We still have one open scholly correct?
Guesses as to what position / which player Wel use it on?

 

[Eagleton96]

Anyone know how the rest of the game is? Is he a situational role player 3pt zone breaker type, or can he play D, rebound, etc.?

 

[High Quality H2O]

Got a commit from our shooter almost exactly a year after the last guy portaled on us.
Think it was 5/19/23....

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Anyone know how the rest of the game is? Is he a situational role player 3pt zone breaker type, or can he play D, rebound, etc.?

We will find out soon enough.

This is going to be Pike's toughest year coaching ever. He got bit last year with "new landscape" AND a rancid shooting team. It is obvious he has adapted...how does he get the new pieces to play the way his program likes to play?
