Really hoping for both. Platek can shoot the lights out and someone we haven't had in some time

 

[BKIn118]

Temper expectations on Sa for the time being. Kid seems set on taking his visits

 

[daneman100]

When did Platek visit?

 

[RUJMM78]

The inability to close the relationship with recruits has been one of the biggest reasons for the failure of mens basketball.There always will be competition for recruits but Rutgers must start winning these battles if they ever expect to win on the court.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Its not that we are losing the Sa battle. He is entitled to take all his visits

Platek is a 2017 recruit

Already bailed on the new staff?

Well....

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Heard he also has a connection to Rick Stansbury at Western Kentucky

No, but simply stating a fact which applied to all the preceding coaches.I guess you must have been satisfied with the performance of the basketball program the last 25 years.

yes if you know anything about this board, I've done nothing but shower love on the program, particularly the previous staff

Let's see if Pikiell can close the deal. We need a another big, especially one that blocks shots like Sa does.

Bring it on home to the banks big fella[cheers]

 

[knights1212]

If Coach Pikiell did see Sa today he is really making the rounds and running up the miles. It would be nice if we could land Sa.

 

[SkilletHead2]

C'mon Mr. Sa. It would be great to have you on the Banks!

 

[daneman100]

Anything happen here?

 

[RU fanatic]

Also has a connection with a player and member of our staff.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Yes its the Shoes aka Canarias connection

 

[MCKnight2004]

Sa will visit Texas this weekend according to Zags, big time competition for this one, we better have back up plans

 

[RU fanatic]

Recruiting guys on Twitter believe it will come down to us and Texas ultimately

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

 

[MCKnight2004]

Big recruiting win IF we overcome a school like Texas and a coach like Shaka

 

[daneman100]

He is a JUCO. He does not have four years to develop, where is he going to get the minutes?

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Ate you serious, we have six ships to fill

 

[bac2therac]

there is plenty of minutes on this team

 

[knights1212]

Texas is loaded with big guys and Shaka Smart wants to add two more. One guy is speculating that Sa might be wanted just as a backup to shot block. I'm quite certain he would get many more minutes at RU. I doubt he would play a great deal at Texas but one never knows for sure. San Antonio is only a short distance from Austin.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

The Platek guy just received an offer from North Carolina tarheels.

 

[Mr_Twister]

The Platek guy just received an offer from North Carolina tarheels.

With the imminent NCAA violations penalties over the Tarheels head, at least they can offer an environment that we are accustomed to ... sitting at home during the tournament.

 

[SirScarlet]

gotta love the talent we're going after

even if we average 1 for 20, we're going to land some serious studs...

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

FWIW, lots of crystal ball predictions on 247 for Platek to UNC
