The benefit of past transfers was they had a whole year to acclimate with the team and learn the system while they sat out. Now you have to be selective in both who you bring in from both a talent as well as buy-in stand point. I feel like the staff did a great job of finding that right mix with Sam, Bando, and Gary.

Kerr is a wild card. Great passer and serviceable shooter, but defense is suspect and can get very emotional (which can be a good and bad thing). I'd prefer a little more poise at PG, but I think it'd be a good get.

That's the product of a football-first state. I don't think a majority cares about anything basketball related regardless.

Ya luster wasn’t the right word. But you’re right. Especially with the deep pockets of the league. It’s very cyclical. I do hope the league starts adapting more to what Hoiberg wanted to do in the first place with his offense tho instead of the going through the big man route. I think that equals better tourney results overall.

Somewhat related but somewhat not, are we a tourney-caliber team by now with HCFH if we’re still in the Big 12? Considering how good the league has gotten and HCFH most likely not having to overhaul his entire coaching philosophies, I think it’s pretty evident we’d be in a better spot than we are. It seems like playing these B1G teams with how subpar the conference does in the tourney each year is starting to lose its luster.

That's what would concern me if the rumors were true about him and Chucky coming as a package deal. Sallis isn't transferring here to come off the bench. They'd both be starting together. I don't know if that'd be a very productive 1-2 with two dribble heavy guards.

I get the metrics, but this is not a great look.

If they keep winning I’m thinking those transfer chances are dwindling the more he plays in these games. He’s a great defender but he can’t shoot. Do we need more guards that can’t shoot anyway?

Narrator: “He signed a million dollar deal with Japan the following day.”

I think it’s more with their President than the AD. The President is the guy who wanted him fired for the “comment”. Based on message boards it doesn’t seem like most people like the guy anyway. Seems kinda like our Pearlman

Did he ever fully recover from his injury mid-season? Did we even figure out what that was? I honestly don't remember.

I think the goal should be close to what Rutgers has established itself as the past 4 seasons. Not expecting you to be the MSU, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois's of the world. But at least get to a point where you're consistently competitive for the middle of the B1G.

Louisville is cleaning up

They gotta have Pitino in the bag

I heard Chucky to Nebraska and Traudt to Creighton. Idk about Sallis. Who knows tho it's like these rumors change every day.

I hope that's true. It's a dumb rule. However, we are not going to match what Japan is about to offer.

I may end up eating crow on this. Which I wouldn't mind. The rumor mill is in full swing.

I agree with what you’re saying, but the committee has the bracket already set with pairings and seeding by Friday. That’s why they say tourney wins don’t do much for seed adjustments unless there’s last minute bid stealers.

Gotta with the BTT

More concerned about passing ability than size. Walker is a great passer as a big and gives us a different dynamic on offense. That dish back to Keisei after Keisei passed it to him mid air was just natural instinct. I rewatched it at work like 10 times. Insanely impressive.

Him ending up at Iowa and inevitably having to play us every year would be poetic lol.

NET down to 93 after today

Nova jumped up 10 spots in Kenpom after their Creighton win they’re churning right now. It also doesn’t help that all the committee needed was that UNC win over Virginia to validate them making the field if they hold serve.

Cant wait to show this to my Gopher fan boss. He’s been consistently saying “wait till next year” specifically because of this recruit. He may fire me but worth it.

Wishful thinking
