Adidas $$$ and personal relationships
#2 overall recruit Dylan Harper in America is from NJ and his brother played under Pike and their other big fish has a relationship with Brevin Knight (assistant under Pike).
Not to mention they've been pretty good, play in a good league, and have a great home court.
Their head coach is a good recruiter and developer of talent. I would assume he received an education from a pretty good school.
Because tournament history doesn’t matter. It’s about the coach, the conference, the PT, the NIL, the surrounding team.
Rutgers was called a sleeping giant for so long it shouldn't be surprising if it finally happens
Barely detectable pulse for a long time. Amazing a school with that many upsides went so long between tournament appearances.A hibernating giant. Maybe spring is here.
I heard that players coached by their coaching staff have earned over a billion dollars in their careers!Their head coach is a good recruiter and developer of talent. I would assume he received an education from a pretty good school.
Rutgers fan?
Obligatory
Be nice to Steve Pike. He still bleeds UConn blue and white. Maybe you are too young to know......"head coach is a good recruiter and developer of talent"......sorry, he has ONE victory in the NCAA tourney in 18 years.....somehow he fell in with a group of desperate incompetents who guaranteed him 30M......ridiculous.
......umm....maybe not.....went to EC with Joey Whelton....who thank God never took a dime from frigin' SUNJ.Be nice to Steve Pike. He still bleeds UConn blue and white. Maybe you are too young to know.

Their fans suffered... who cares ? I don't give two shytes about any other team's fans for one single, solitary secondBarely detectable pulse for a long time. Amazing a school with that many upsides went so long between tournament appearances.
Unlike a lot of people here, I don't begrudge them anything. I don't want to lose recruits, obviously, but their fans suffered long enough
I also went to EC with Joe. Class of 73. Had our 50th reunion last night. Great time.......umm....maybe not.....went to EC with Joey Whelton....who thank God never took a dime from frigin' SUNJ.
