Tekia enters portal
- Thread starter RUfanDNT
- Start date
I like her emotional play but I am glad she is leaving, I hoped she declared for the WNBA draft. When she was hurt the team played its best.
If Arella went @ #22 in draft, I doubt Tekia will play in the WNBA. She is better off growing up a bit. A couple of years overseas is more likely. IMO.
Addition by subtraction. I believe she was a loose cannon as we saw. Don’t let the door hit you in the rear on the way out.
Don't know if Tekia entering the portal is addition by subtraction or the team losing a player who gives her all on the floor ( sometimes too much)..
As much as I support Vivian and the program, don't like the amount of players transferring and wondering why they are.

In my opinion. She may have been the cause of the others leaving... I wouldn’t want her fur a team mate
Not all is well, but more like > probably will not be as bad as assumed and could wind up a better year than some think .
Some try and keep a positive attitude despite what's happening because doom and gloom isn't their style.
Sometimes maximizing what's right and minimizing what is looking bad works out in the long run.
Sometimes , even when things are sailing along, people look for any roadblock to success because of their doom and gloom attitude.
You can say you're talking about the present when claiming things are bad, but in reality that's just an opinion on what you think the future holds when games begin in earnest.
I feel when games begin RU WBB will meet the challenge of overcoming what's happening now and stay a winner.
So no matter what side of fence ( sunny&bright or dark and gloomy ) no one knows if what's happening now will destroy the chances for a sucessful 2021-22 season, or if this program will still be functioning on all cylinders and make us proud in the 2021-22 season and postseason.
From what I read here on this site, the optimistic posters, including myself of course, acknowledge problems or hiccups when they occurs within the program. They just do so in the proper context. The pessimists go out of their way to exaggerate those same situations and paint them in the worst way possible, seemingly with an ulterior motive.
In terms of what is going on at present, you would think the team is on the verge of total collapse when you read certain posts. These posters are either, in the dark about what is going on across the entire college basketball landscape right now, or they are trying to further their own agenda. It is clear to me that most programs are dealing with similar portal drama this offseason and, in most cases, it is not an indictment on the coach or the program.

The NY Times had Diamond Johnson as the number 1 ranked person in the portal. When so far you lose your 2 best backcourt players and are left with freshmen not good enough per the coaches doling out playing time to them, what are you supposed to think?
Diamond was a talent no doubt, but even with little playing time, the freshmen on the bench have enough talent to overcome the transfers and others leaving .
The minutes lost will be made up by the freshman bench talent becoming sophomore starters
and playing in a system they know from being on the bench learning in practice as freshmen.
You can look at a donuts and say it's missing something because it has a whole in the middle, or look at it as the way the baker felt it would be a better product.
Freshman players sat because CVS felt they needed to learn before play and when they started playing as sophomores they would be a better product
Finishing 3rd in the B1G standings might validate giving starters the minutes while getting the freshmen ready for the next season before being asked to produce.
That’s a major problem with CVS freshman play big roles all over the country for many teams yet at Rutgers they barely sniff the court because they aren’t ready with of course Diamond being the exception so as stated I see nothing that gives me any optimism going forward
