So What's the Story With "Shoes"?
- Thread starter RutgersMO
- Start date
I'm glad that t
This might be the most ridiculous thing I've EVER seen on these boards....
You realize that Farmer and Inman were thousand point scorers and Farmer was 4th all time in assists when he graduated?
I'm not sure what more you wanted considering who was coaching those guys at the end. I also wonder how well you actually know any of them to assassinate their good deeds for Rutgers.
FIG may have been flawed to a certain extent in a few ways...but to make an irresponsible declaration like this just shows me how little you know or care about this program and its former players.
Farmer is an educator, father of two, and recently coached with St Augustine Prep, who just won a state championship. He reached out to me last week to see how he can give back to the program and Coach Pikiell. Inman is still plying his wares playing professionally, and is a published author. Only Griffin remains a bit of an enigma.
Holy crap....

We will never know what would have happened had FIG gotten 4 years with Waters....
I'd like to see Farmer have some visible involvement with the program. As a fan, I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that guys I cheered for have become successful in life and also have fond memories of their time at Rutgers. (Likewise, it pisses me off when I see them squander the opportunity they have been given, or treat their alma mater and fans poorly.)
Right now we've got Z E R O buzz. Corey has it. This is a simple decision: if shoes has holes ...fix them. Make him happy for a year or two until we can win a few games,
have Corey make it to the next level and start recruiting like we belong!

1. The guys were talented enough on the court. Numbers say it. Just pointing out a lack of commitment.
2. I did not saying I wanted anything more from them. Just pointed out that the players certainly shoulder part of the blame for "lack of wins (another poster words, not mine)".
3. Is this an irresponsible declaration? Maybe. But doesn't that make the players actions more irresponsible?
4. I'm glad Anthony is a family man (I don't believe Anthony was part of FIG that was suspended...)That he and Inman are still involved in the program is good news. I give griffin my best wishes.
Why the need to attack me? I didn't say anything that wasn't true. I wasn't even calling them out as the suspensions are public record. I don't think you read the following posts either. I'd much rather not make comments about any player being suspended or smoking weed but it would be better for everyone if they didn't do it.
Blame lies everywhere for past ineptitude.
Right, and he was stampeded by message board traffic, largely from newbie posters who knew nothing, or next to nothing. Hill had a rep as a great recruiter working with The Nova, but wasn't that effective at RU. Not only could he not coach, he created a toxic atmosphere--the next savior was always in his next recruiting class, and he cr*pped on most of his players, especially the ones he inherited. Still cannot believe there were people who insisted FHJ needed to be extended, not fired, when he proved conclusively that he was an awful coach and a worse person. Meanwhile, of course, Gary Waters took his band of over matched players to the NCAA's, where he played Wake Forest, with four future NBA starters, won over the crowd and dispatched Wake rather handily. Yeah, I admit it--wanted GW to stay, because he had more success at RU than the 7 or 8 coaches before and after him had, combined. On board with Piliell, if any players from last season are not OK with that, Happy Trails.
