Insane. So much talent. With every kid we sign, it’s more evidence to make the next kid want to join.

With the advantage of teaming up with others for this particular buy, I bet it’s closer to 4+..

If any other coach had to replace 20 players before fall, I’d be concerned, but Fran and staff seem able to just bring in quality replacements with ease.

Kid looks athletic as hell on his tape…which is what you get with kids that have late growth spurts. Not that explosive and needs to get stronger. Great feet and Gets to the second level with ease. Reminds me of guys who are HS TE’s and are converted to tackle.

Ha…just texted the same to a few friends. Reynolds was going to command $$. We may not need have needed the bake sale…

I think you’re on to something here…

Yeah….if we get Leffew, I would expect Cuffe to portal.

Stats!!

It’s really amazing watching this staff determine areas of need and just plucking them from wherever.

Can’t get ’em all. Swag Daddy at work here?

Wow. Haha. That’s impressive.

Agreed across the board.

I think they should actually rename their team, the “Rutgers Thursday Knights” and the logo would be the Empire State Building in red. Nothing captures the pinnacle of their existence like that.

https://floridastate./news/fsu-commit-javion-hilson-updates-recruitment-after-rivals-camp-miami Don’t think his visit here was an “official”

How would people feel about a front court rotation of Lampkin, Brown and Davis, With Bell at the 3? Compared to Lampkin, Freeman, Davis with Bell at the 3?

Agreed. I think it was a mix of things. Certainly seems like the behind the scenes actions were “Bronx Zoo” like this year. Thankfully the knuckleheads are gone, but the experience may have been too much for Maliq

I guess I don’t understand this thinking. Losing Brown certainly sucks, but it was his choice. This is life in the portal. People would be losing their minds if we took a bench player from NC State or someone else in our conference and anointed them a starter here. Then the narrative would be...

Agreed. Win games - kids will come. 2nd…make the tickets valuable. If there are more people who want a particular item…they become more valuable. 44k seats > to market than 50k seats when you can’t fill 50k. Need waiting lines… Wanna know why a lot of these FB mega schools draw so many...

In the student activity fee, sure. But there are a lot of services that colleges offer that cater to minority of the students that everybody pays for. They simply could make this item in their budget to allow all students free access to supporting events. And bake it into a tuition. Not all...

Someone I trust who’s seen practices for years has seen a couple practices this spring…his main takeaway…”QB has a big arm”…

Not to mention the game ended just after 4:20 on 4/20. Smoke em if you got ‘em….but not if you’re a croot or player..

I was told Fran was going to have no effect on Rutgers recruiting…

Sucks. If kids don’t have their perfect situation, they can find someone who will convince them they can provide it. He’s a great type of player to have in your program.

If a kid has connections to team takeover, there might be third party funding available.

Not exactly what I was referring to…will just leave it at that….

I’m not talking about $ from donors…

$

Yes. But…I surmise that Fran has access to juice that Red doesn’t. We didn’t go from 0 to 100 in football recruiting because we engaged more donors and improved the philosophy and messaging.

Not surprising and makes perfect sense watching it play out. If it was purely about the money, he would have committed to Nova. Kid wants to play here, but sees there’s more $ elsewhere…right now.

Hope the tattoo is removable

Yep.

Money that was known to be available. They essentially applied for it.

I think he’s working us for more $.

Jersey kid….. But if having “discussions” pre-portal is a crime, 80% of the teams are guilty.

Maybe we should start him at point. He’s now Bill Brasky.

Agreed. Never said it was the same, just said it was the same role.

I’d be surprised if we aren’t involved here..

Combo guards?!?! Ben Gordon was a combo guard. Billy was pure point. I’ll get grief for this, but GMAC was a 2.

Nope. But I’d like to try and get as close to Edey/Clingan as possible. NIL is going to keep the Bacots of the world in college longer. None of the above mentioned centers would have been in college this year pre - NIL. The game is going retro.

It would be. We’ve got Lampkin, McLeod and Patterson ahead of him against size.

Yeah, what an awful result. Getting my center exposed on championship Monday. The best 2 centers made it to the finals. Shockingly, neither was exposed before that. All someone had to do was expose them and make them cover space. How stupid of me not to understand that.

If Maliq is here, Davis isn’t coming.

Well, I’m not sure what the fight is here. We all want the best team we can put in the floor right? If anyone is suggesting that our ceiling is highest with Maliq at the 5 over a guy with Lampkins size then I’ll stop the conversation there because you’re nuts. When the argument is “Brown is a...

For those keeping track here. Davis essentially fills the role we wanted Maliq to play next year. Solid backup 4…emergency 5.

I’m pretty sure that 99% of the people who had issues with his defense were referring to his work at the 5. So if Duke wants to guard Lampkin with Brown, we should feed the post every possession. But Duke won’t play him at the five, Nor did we want to. I think that was the whole point of the...

Wohlabaugh insurance or replacement?

Hope he does well

Three consecutive coaches have a Natty at Uconn. Hard to argue with that fact.

A popular related story is that Mac went to JB to complain about what DC did, JB’s response was “you better recruit tougher players”…
