While Tyus was never serious about Rutgers and looked at perennial NCAA tourney schools what is happening in this tourney is an example why RU struggles to get the top NJ kids that are 5 stars or high 4 stars.
Duke is in the tourney 20+ straight years and Cuse is a former champ with a long history in the tourney.
Tyus is the team leader in this tournament with 3 wins and a sweet 16 appearance. I
RU needs to over perform for a couple of years with a couple of tourney berths and tourney wins. We would still be competing against URI and Hurley for kids since he makes the tourney each year.
The top kids will still go to the schools that make it each year. A down year at Cuse or Louisville is the NIT. Seton Hall consistently makes post season tournaments and is in our back yard.
