Secret Scrimmages

[ScarletLongIsland]

Rutgers plays Monmouth on 10/22 and at Yale on 10/28

 

[scarlet night]

Doesn't seem very secret to me o_O

 

[BKIn118]

Yeah... Definitely not a secret!

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Funny thing, Jeff Goodman tweeted the secret scrimmages for all major conferences lol

 

[knights1212]

This is good to hear. I think we beat Monmouth at their place last year. Hopefully we can do well in both scrimmages this year.

They're secret insofar as media isn't let in to cover them. Sometimes the stat sheet gets out, though.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

I was just thinking about this.....good to hear

You can tell that he's a true professional because he's 96% charged and using Wifi while being in a dead cell zone.

This year the NCAA is allowing schools to release a box score

Silence is golden...

More to it than that.

“The practice scrimmage may not be included on the institution’s published season schedule and may not count against either team’s won/loss records,” the NCAA rule reads. “Only athletics department staff members and those individuals necessary to conduct the practice scrimmage may be present during the scrimmage. Further, the institution must ensure the scrimmage is free from public view and media are not in attendance.”

It's supposed to be like Fight Club. We all know the first rule of Fight Club don't we?

Also, public not invited unlike "open" scrimmages.

So did we secretly win today?

Yes we won by 7 according to Jon Newman on Twitter

[knights1212]

So when will we see the box score as it is now supposed to be able to release them?

Just because one can be released doesn't mean one will be released...

 

[knights1212]

I realize that but we can hope can't we.

Looks like Minn wants to find out how good they will be early unless Creighton is just average.

Wondering if Monmouth is as good as they've been the last few years. If so, this is very good news,as Coach Pikel seems to bring teams along well as the season progresses.

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Well, this site, though early, might give us some idea. Rutgers#125, Monmouth# 165

Monmouth lost three very good seniors so I don't see them competing for the MAAC this season.

 

[MadRU]

Don't read into the final score. We have no idea how the scrimmage went. These are to try things and see what we got. I am sure coach experimented a lot and also used many players to see what needs to be worked on.

Getting beat by 30 would not be good, but outside a huge margin one way or the other, really can't judge by a simple point differential.

They are ranked 3rd in pre season - like it was said before, beats losing by 30

We probably shot the FTs until we made one. A confidence builder.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We won ...good sign. Period

 

[ANewRU]

I remember thiam lit Monmouth up last year's scrimmage.

 

[knights1212]

Minnesota announced that they defeated Creighton 91-79. Their box score has been released as well.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

For comparison:

 

[RUsojo]

Can't compare. Sports is about matchups. This is why people "think" craziness happens week to week in all sports.

 

[Johnny Biggs]

Temple is not even projected to be a very good team either. Wow.

Head Coach at Cardozo HS in NYC

 

[Johnny Biggs]

That explains a lot.

Head Coach at Cardozo HS in NYC

Why would a head coach be at a HS when his team is scrimmaging? That makes no sense.

You're confused. Naclerio is the head coach at Cardozo High School.

 

[knights1212]

Naclerio coached the red shirt freshman pt. guard of Monmouth at Cardozo H.S. He is a pretty good player.
