The worst stretch of his career was the end of 2023. It was really ugly.
As time has passed, looking at his body of work, he clearly was among the most important players of this era. How many 4 year players never had a losing conference record?
Was Paul Mulcahy the most important player in modern RUBB history?

It’s not really all that compelling. It’s just ignoring all context around the team as a whole and focusing solely on when he arrived at Rutgers. Using the same logic I could also argue that Dean Reiber was the most impactful player in modern RUBB history.
Paul happened to get here at a time when the rest of the roster had turned into something competitive. I’m a fan of Mulcahy and he was a very good contributor, but just pointing to him showing up in 19-20 when the team became competitive doesn’t really prove anything.
Paul was playing under 20 MPG and averaging 4 points and 2 assists in 19-20. Ron Harper Jr was our leading scorer and second leading rebounder behind our starting center for each our three best seasons (19-20, 20-21, 21-22). The answer is obviously Ron.

Saw him on the bench pretty recently. He'll probably make an excellent coach if he goes that route.
If it's on Facebook, Sina's comments are probably not intended to be read by the general public.
10000% this ^
It's those three then you debate your hearts out about the others. And it's not close
Must be very young. Phil Seller by a mile - maybe 5 miles.

Sellers was twice as good as every one of them. Comparing Caleb or Geo to Sellers is just an absurdity, unless you don't consider the final four in 1976 modern day. It's not like Sellers was playing with Bob Cousy. E. Jordan and James Bailey were also more important in RU history.

Nah, if you are dumb enough to say something on Facebook you are saying it to the general public
Dude - it says "MODERN" bball history. You're going back 50 yrs. It's pretty obvious the OP was thinking about at best since 2000.
Paul was a whiny bitch who got benched at Washington after leaving like a snake. Pikiell made him. This is a very dumb thread.
No I don’t think anyone considers the pre-shot clock and three point line era to be modern day.
This is a better description than what I was trying to say. No, the 1976 team was not modern day because of shot clock (see Dean Smith 4-corner offense), 3 ptrs, and oh yes - DUNKING WAS NOT ALLOWED! So Jammin' James Bailey was not allowed to JAM his freshman year. Still think 1976 was modern day?
(And yes I attended games in 1976 as a youngster old enough to appreciate it)
All this shows me is that teams under Pikiell peaked in 2019-2020 and its been downhill ever since. Most programs would have fired their coaches by now.
Did you just put two guys who started in the majors in the first half of the 50's and a guy who started in the 80's together to make a point?
Bro, are you really going to do this???? Your talking about a guy that only scored in double-figures 12 times. I don't think he's the reason they had a winning team
If I ever miss PM and Hyatt someone take my season tickets away please and put me out of my misery.
