I doubt Mathis will be happy as a non starter based on the number of games starting as a freshmen and his status as a 4 star recruit out of high school.Playing time will be a ongoing issue throughout the season for the small forward and guard positions.
I'm stating a opinion which has relevance with the great number of players transferring this season.I guess you forgot that Eugene surprised everyone by transferring after the season was over.Let's wait and see on who's happy and who's not and how line-ups change as the season goes on, maybe? Just looking for negatives.
He truly is a junkie of College BB. No connection at all to RU to the best of my knowledge. He reports on many teams like he did for us just now and may be a bit more intimate with RU since he lives in NYC and probably knows Pikell though Pike's work at CBS Sports.Does Jon Rothstein have a connection to Rutgers ? He seems to be a BIG fan of New Jersey’s Team.
It's only a prediction from Rothstein and I'm more interested about who ends the game than starts the game. Pike is really good - maybe some times too unselfish - in his distribution of minutes throughout the season.I doubt Mathis will be happy as a non starter based on the number of games starting as a freshmen and his status as a 4 star recruit out of high school.Playing time will be a ongoing issue throughout the season for the small forward and guard positions.

Think he misused the term or at least hope he did. Harper's gonna be way more than a "glue guy" he'll be our #1 or #2 scorer imo and may lead the team in mpgBig fan of Rothstein. Good exposure.
Interesting to hear he sees Harper Jr as more of a glue guy than having star potential.

There is a logjam at the 2/3 right now. There was nothing out of bounds with 78’s opinion.I didn't forget. But you are searching for chemistry problems based off one tweet.

I disagree.Athletes are interested in three things, namely starting games, playing time and winning.Rutgers is now attracting more talented players which means less playing time for all concerned.Its the same situation at schools throughout the country.How players and coaching staffs cope with this issue changes year to year.I am not searching for chemistry problems but rather stating a opinion on what happens when teams attract more talented players .For Rutgers its a good thing because competition for playing time causes all players to work harder .I didn't forget.

Well, beat someone out for the spot.I doubt Mathis will be happy as a non starter based on the number of games starting as a freshmen and his status as a 4 star recruit out of high school.Playing time will be a ongoing issue throughout the season for the small forward and guard positions.
We arent used to seeing more than 5 capable starters.
I suspect that defense will be the carrot that determines who starts
default minutes at the 1,2,3 and 4 are NOT a thing any more.
I'd say not at the 1,2,3... but the 4 is still not as deep as it could be, especially with foul trouble very likely looming.
Agree on this.We arent used to seeing more than 5 capable starters.

Agree on this.
Also, I do recall there have been teams on the basketball landscape that used combos such as 4 guards and a center, 4 guards and a center, 3 guards and 2 forwards, 3 forwards and 2 guards, etc. Bottom line is lots of kids that can play in different ways allows Pikiell to have flexibility for matchups and mismatches. I do think defensive play will dictate heavily for playing time.
Even with Omoruyi gone people are worried about more players transferring out because of playing time. This is a new problem to have but a good one. Some people hypocritical tho lol

An interesting conversation is whether Geo at the 1 and Young at the 2 or vice versa is the better role for each player / the team since neither is really a 100% PG
This is more likely the scenario anyway. My only concern with Young is that he seems more like a scorer than a distributor. If he's running the one maybe too many possessions where he just dribbbles up and chucks a 3 or tries to take it to the hoop himself when he could kick it out or dump it off. All speculation on my part though. We shall seeOr if positions even matter when both are on the court, since either should be able to run the point or play off ball - getting toward Pike's "positionless" comment.
I think its only natural with the current status of the transfer portal to wonder, in the back of our minds, how playing time will affect possible transfers. Knowing Rutgers fans, any transfer out will be a doomsday scenario.
