God we need to have him stay around as long as possible. A double double and four blocks yesterday. One can hope that Cliff can make a jump in year two if he leaves, but not as confident.
Stay Myles stay
- Thread starter RUSCFORMERLYRULOU
- Start date
He is going to be in a masters program at Rutgers School of Engineering. Not sure if it is an 18 or 24 month program.
If the 24 that means he could be here for two years, since this is a free year of eligibility!
He could always opt for the highest-rated engineering school he can attend, and this post is from a Rutgers engineering grad. Myles is not your average college athlete. I definitely hope he stays.
CEO Fortune 500 or something.
I can’t imagine a scenario where Myles is playing basketball at a different University
Maybe he’d rather go to cal tech or Stanford for his masters? Maybe he also realizes he can accomplish what he wants in school here. Who knows, but the man has options.
Yes he has options, and apparently he is not considering professional basketball as one of those options. So he could just decide he's done with basketball and focus on the rest of his life.
That’s a one on a million scenario for a kid with no personal problems or reoccurring injuries.
He could play at Stanford or Cal or UCLA. He says he wants to work in Silicon Valley.
I was referring to his quitting basketball all together.
As I said earlier, for no other reason but pure gut feeling, I don’t see him playing basketball at another school.
You saying it doesn't remove it from the realm of possibility. If one of the blue bloods offer . . .
Myles can go anywhere he wants and play big time minutes, he doesn’t need offers, he can choose
OMG Lou,
Ask that same question to every good player in the country.
Have you thought maybe he loves his coaches, the school and his teammates?
Yeah this is getting a little weird that so many of our fans don't think Myles will want to play 4 years here.
He’s already here, on this team. The default is staying. It’s leaving that needs a reason.
The entire premise of this thread is frankly bizarre and just example 1,000 of the drama queen like posts by the OP who creates issues in his mind and portrays them as they are a likelihood
get a friggin life dude
get a friggin life dude
I’m the boards biggest worrywort .
I’m admittedly scared to death of every game and every team we play.
Enjoy the ride ain’t gonna happen with me.
But I’ll be damned if going to sit and think about the scenarios why are best players are going to leave us!

If he stays here he has to be considered the ultimate Rutgers man. The loyalist of every player that’s attended the university. If he is all about school and engineering then it’s a no brainer to go back home and attend Stanford or Cal Tech or even UCLA or USC. We have the 52 ranked engineering Grad school while the California schools are all in the top ten with the Cardinal being #1. He could intern at Silicon Valley lol and attend class. Hopefully he is already taking grad courses here and it’s just more convenient to stay.
Ya the concern of losing Myles is not his desire to go play for another school. It would be his desire to continue his studies at another school.
Stanford stands out on that list.
Rutgers really needs to be in the top 30 in these engineering rankings list. Not sure of the politics/etc that go into these things, but I am positive based on experience that from an educational perspective it's up there.
Myles is definitely a borderline NBA player if he wants that. He's the #1 defensive rebounder in the best league in the country with a bunch of good big men. Angel Delgado played in the G League and even made it into two games with the Clippers. Guys with his size and rebounding skill will get a look in the G League imo.
Yes . You couldn’t fault the guy if we went to a Stanford . Played ball and get another degree there.
He would have a great professional network in place from two different schools
Usnews engineering rankings probably not the best guide
my prediction... these posts will not age well. Myles will play another year (I am hopeful it will be under Pike). He will develop better offensive skills to complement NBA level D and Rebounding skills. He is an excellent passer, an intelligent player, and an awesome teammate. When faced with working for an engineering firm or the NBA, well we all know the answer. Engineering will wait.
It's a good point. He's limited offensively, but on certain teams those limitations are almost positives.
Given he has good hands and is a good passer I could see a team like the Nets as a good fit.
A bit of a crink in this plan is, 2 years of grad school. Would he play that 5th year of college, would he focus on that 2nd year of school and not play, or would he go NBA without completing grad school?
Ya, we haven't gotten the level of play from Cliff that I hoped for this year. I fully expect he will grow as a player, and next year we really could get that dominant 1-2 punch from the 5 position as well as seeing a bit of twin towers with Cliff at the 4 spot.
Would be great to get at least one year of those 2 playing at a high level.
