Uh oh

[MADHAT1]

No Arella. No Diamond. No future.
Rutgers just may get shut out in a game or two next season.

Losing Johnson will hurt ,but the program has some good players left
If they can step up the Sky is Falling over Diamond leaving might be wrong
RU was the first college experience for some players and this year gave them a taste of the college game
which might bring out the talent needed to overcome Diamond and Arella leaving along with Mael Gilles possible grad transfer being a possibility

( if replacements needed, might not be as bad as it looks to replace those headed out of town)

If so, my bad. I know the recruiting class has players from all over. I too have been disappointed in the early exits but have been mollified by her great recruiting of late. I’m not sure why there can’t be a middle ground between pie in the sky and the sky is falling. We have no idea why diamond is leaving. We know stringer seems to draw young women attracted to her legendary and somewhat maternal status. We also know she’s not easy to play for, but most still speak fondly of her. But she isn’t everyone’s cup of tea

What does her great recruiting ever lead to though? When was the last time she had a great team?

Thank you for helping me to take a deep breath; and realize that, although it would be devastating to see her leave, we control what we can control. Yes, we still have a team of wonderful young ladies to support. Hopefully,...She stays!

 

[RUcrazee]

There will be many players in that portal looking for a new home. We just need to be aggressive in this, the new 2nd and 3rd recruiting process for some of them.

 

[djrc89]

What does her great recruiting ever lead to though? When was the last time she had a great team?

I’d have to go back and look at recruiting numbers, but I’m pretty sure there was a lag for awhile. The last couple of years have been stellar. But the teams haven’t really put it together since when.. cappie ?

If Giles is gone to then you just lost 67% of the minutes and 74% of the scoring from this team. Who you kidding..this is a HUGE loss for the women's team. IF, IF, IF..with Diamond there was not IF....there only WAS and WILL BE.

 

[bac2therac]

What does her great recruiting ever lead to though? When was the last time she had a great team?

12 years..2 toutney wins..zero relevancy in women's hoops nationally

Its reality some refuse to admit

Her age is certainly a detriment

 

[RUBOB72]

Many of these women and their parents love Stringer because of her past history and the fact she embodies the nurturing mother figure away from home. After the sparkle is gone many players realize this is not for me. This has happened more often than most RU fans care to admit. This is not the Stringer of the past. She is the tired version at age 71 and sorry it shows.

 

[sammybb]

I'm not going to pretend like Diamond leaving wouldn't be a huge loss, but everyone needs to calm down with the exaggerations. I'd bet if you compared RU's transfer rate with other power conference programs it would be right at the median. Stanford, UConn, Tennessee, ND, MD, and more all lose players to the transfer portal.

I will also note that the transfer portal goes both ways. remember--Arella was a transfer.

And she lucked out with Arella... this is going to be tough to replace in 2022 ... as someone mentioned 3/4 of your scoring leaving ? Hell we don’t score enough to overcome that loss.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

And she lucked out with Arella... this is going to be tough to replace in 2022 ... as someone mentioned 3/4 of your scoring leaving ? Hell we don’t score enough to overcome that loss.

In rough numbers something like 1050 of 1400 points this past shortened season.

 

[RUClassof67]

Just to be correct, the 2020-21 team had the highest scoring average of any CVS-coached Rutgers team averaging 75+ ppg But then again, if you didn’t follow the team this season, you wouldn’t know that. It was also #31 in the country.

 

[RUBOB72]

In rough numbers something like 1050 of 1400 points this past shortened season.

There are some who don’t think this is an issue . Not a season ticket holder for WBB as I was years ago. Renewing football and maybe MBB... but this has not been a great program for awhile.

Giles is / will be a Grad Transfer. Grad transfers are a thing. Never expected her back next year, either career ending or grad transfer. How many players stay at the same team post grad these days - some, especially ones that have suffered injuries and been well supported, there was one center at BC seemed like she was there for 10 years. But - that was at a time without the easy grad transfers which didn't require sitting out before the NCAA expanded that to almost everyone.

Syracuse has 8 players in the transfer portal, virtually all the upperclassmen, apparently. There are 2 other star quality folks in the transfer portal, one I think from Mississippi State (not sure) and don't know where the other one is from.

Johnson will be successful most likely wherever she ends up, but there is never any guarantee. As noted above about our former player at Georgia - not really playing much.

And we still got knocked out in round one of the NCAA and B1G tourney. Realize 4 of our wins were against Monmouth , Hampton ,Sacred Heart and Manhattan. You should check the games we lost .

 

[Ridge 22]

That's just it. She recruits well. There is a lag. We wait. And then where there should be payoff, something happens or they transfer out. Nothing seems to ever materialize in terms of on court results.

 

[Knight Time Fan]

There are some who don’t think this is an issue . Not a season ticket holder for WBB as I was years ago. Renewing football and maybe MBB... but this has not been a great program for awhile.

I don't agree with a lot you have said, but you are correct that it has not been a "great" program. Good, not great, of late. At best, it was around the 10th best team in the country, has ranged various places in the top 20% - sometimes top 10% of teams in recent years.

That said, you say you support football and men's basketball with season tix - they surely were not great programs for some of the years you have had season tix - so why did you keep the tix there and not for the women?

I'm not knocking you, by the way. When we moved out to Arizona we thought WBB would be decent and former coach Nyia Butts drove the program into the basement. We kept our tix - now we have a team in the Elite 8 and our season tix are among the best in the house. Just saying.

You were talking about our lack of scoring and I corrected your erroneous assumption that we don’t score. You’ve been making that complaint for years now and it is no longer correct. And yes, we did play 4 out of conference games. Are you implying that no other Division 1 team played an out of conference schedule?

Absolutely..it was nice to see an offense again. And that's the point. She was a 19ppg true frosh. They don't grow on trees. She was already a star. 5 star actually.. Not a star in the making. Fun to watch play.
Damn shame. Oh well. What a year.

Take a look at the scoring again . For years ? That’s great since I haven’t made comments on WBB for several years. The scores against the 4 cupcakes definitely inflates the average to 74 per game. There was no implying . You speak like a defender of an over inflated women’s BB program for too many years now. The pre season rankings bares that out and where the ladies finished. Look the WBB game has changed and C Viv has not and there in lies the problem . If anything I have in the past been highly complimentary to Stringer but it is time for her to pass the mantle onto another more productive coach .

And we wound up at 14-6 ? With a what you think was a scoring juggernaut. Unfortunately I followed this team the entire time. But like what has become almost the norm. The girls went home early... real early.

the program is light years away from the 98-2008 stretch of CVS...12 years, no sweet 16, 2 ncaa wins and I could imagine the record vs top 25 is something like 8-60 over that time

i mean you cannot say we are relevant at all the past decade and this program was even under Grentz

Thank you! All this talk of the stagnant offense. The team has been scoring much better for the last 3 seasons. Plenty of articles to document that. They need consistent perimeter shooting from more than 2 key players. Didn't get it this year. Moreso, imo, team chemistry wasn't there at the end. Makes you wonder what went on behind the scenes with this team down the stretch.

 

[RUcrazee]

And we still got knocked out in round one of the NCAA and B1G tourney. Realize 4 of our wins were against Monmouth , Hampton ,Sacred Heart and Manhattan. You should check the games we lost .

Checking the games we lost(with the exception of the 1st Nebraska game), they were all quality teams that edged us at the end. I can't remember us not being in a game if we weren't ahead. No blowout loses in a while. And you could have just as easily mentioned the wins we had against Top 25 teams.

 

[RUcrazee]

Excellent points. Our women's program has done more than both men's FB and BB.

 

[eso1989]

CVS just turned 73.

She won’t coach forever and you have to wonder why she’d want to keep up the kind of demanding schedule required to run a major D1 program. Unfortunately, her mentor stayed too long at Temple and they’ve never been the same.

I wouldn’t want to be Hobbs...

Cupcakes?! Over inflated?!.......Didn't we keep pace with Maryland and Iowa(two of the best offensive teams in the country) by scoring 87 and 84 points, respectfully? Md is the highest scoring team on the planet this season( Brooklyn Nets 2nd) as pointed out last night during the broadcast of their game.

Too many people are on here making statements and seemingly haven't paid attention to what is really going on with the program. You can exaggerate something so much, that it becomes a straight-up lie.

 

[OntheBanks]

Makes one wonder about the status of CVS.

I have a feeling CVS won't be our head coach next year.

 

[robjknight]

I have a feeling CVS won't be our head coach next year.

 

[robjknight]

Sometimes in your waning career years you reach a point when you cannot maintain the energy level required to do a great job. You need to make the tough decision to move on or retire before your performance hurts the organization. It happened to me and I choose to retire to the surprise of my co workers, but it was the right decision There is always someone who can do your job equal or better than you and that should be the goal.

 

[MADHAT1]

I have a feeling CVS won't be our head coach next year.

Could be , transfers might be a sign they know.
But I think if she was leaving on her own a search would have started already unless it's an in house replacement.

Congratulations you are now a delusional Rutgers fan who can not bring themselves to admit the WBB team was not what you believe it was .People who rank teams realized we were not a great team. Simple answer in the past 12 years how far and how many post season wins? How many conference championships or finishes in the top 5 of the B1G. How many women though highly recruited left the program . Listen I like Stringer so let your mind be at peace. She has however come to the point of it is time coach. Hobb’s does have a problem since I believe he said something along the line of “ when She says it’s time.” At the current levels she either changes more or hires a new staff. Not many schools in our conferences would allow this to continue but I do understand it goes beyond the actual can she still coach aspect. Good luck getting beyond the what we have come to see as the standard of play.

 

[wngarbarini]

The person who laid out the accolades of the freshmen recruits just made the case for what a train wreck this program is. All top 59 recruits and almost zero contribution to the 2021 season except Johnson. End of discussion. CVS stays because she has no hobbies. This is her life. Her “exhaustion” last year when she turned the program over to Tim may have been more than that?

Simple answer in the past 12 years how far and how many post season wins? How many conference championships or finishes in the top 5 of the B1G. How many women though highly recruited left the program . Listen I like Stringer so let your mind be at peace. She has however come to the point of it is time coach. Hobb’s does have a problem since I believe he said something along the line of “ when She says it’s time.” At the current levels she either changes more or hires a new staff. Not many schools in our conferences would allow this to continue but I do understand it goes beyond the actual can she still coach aspect. Good luck getting beyond the what we have come to see as the standard of play.

You said a lot. None of it has anything to do with my response to your "cupcakes" statements about our scoring avg per game this year. You quote me, and then talk about something else???!

The scores against the 4 cupcakes definitely inflates the average to 74 per game. There was no implying . You speak like a defender of an over inflated women’s BB program for too many years now.

You are dense. The scores against those 4 schools ( 20 % ) of their schedule was the reason they averaged 74 pets per game . Take those 4 out and you are now averaging around 69 per game. Don’t worry though you are losing 74 % of your scoring with Arella and the two transfers. You have to be a student since you just joined this board in January congrats.
