In a prior era would be under the table moneyHarper is official to Rutgers. Have the number 2 and 3 recruits in the class. Cannot believe they got this done
What’s wrong with youThat's very exciting for them and will certainly add some juice to the rivalry. It's nice to see kids like Ace and Dylan take the road less traveled and commit to a school like Rutgers.
Obviously, I would rather it be Seton Hall, but my comment is more so it's nice to see elite recruits take a chance on a non-traditional school.What’s wrong with you
Yep. This.Shu needs a big money donor… desperately
Throwing their careers away.Obviously, I would rather it be Seton Hall, but my comment is more so it's nice to see elite recruits take a chance on a non-traditional school.
They were out bid with big adidas money .Credit to Pike for being able to sell why these kids should go there compared to other schools that were throwing no doubt similar money at them.

Well over 7 figures from what I was told. Good for him.It’s easy to take a chance when you are getting close to 7 figures to go to a school
Naturally, my mind goes right to that class and how we were headed to the Final Four, and how the Sweet Sixteen team in 2000 was just a tasty appetizer to the real stuff.As I just texted someone, somewhere is Tommy Amaker is smirking at the idea of a Jersey school bringing in a potential #1 recruiting class.
Now excuse me, while I throw up
The last school to not buy one?$$$$$$$$$$ can't win a trophy so they're trying to buy one
Harper's gonna be making more money than our whole team combined, we can't afford to get in the game like that.The last school to not buy one?
Let's get in the game.
That honestly may not be the worst thing. Bailey and Harper may compliment each other more than fight for the ball in their hands.Harper isnt as good as you think, I see him play yearly since he plays in my teams conference (Bergen Catholic) he is good but not THAT good, doesnt takeover games and make you go wtf
Once they were gone the university stopped looking for big donors.Brennan kozlowski
No different than what folks have done forever. Whether under the table, by hiring “assistant coaches”, or other stuff.$$$$$$$$$$ can't win a trophy so they're trying to buy one
I’m not doubting that. But everyone assumes these kids go to the highest bidder. If I’m advising my son, and especially if I’m a kid like Harper that comes from family money, the $ plus the coach and program are factors. I’d happily take a bit less if I didn’t trust the coach and program to help get me to the next level. Because this is only one step in the kids journey and we’ve seen plenty of so called one and done or two and done kids not make it.They were out bid with big adidias money .
Heavy rumors RU will be a Nike school next year.They were out bid with big adidias money .
Around a year or two before Covid, I was at a day for high school kids at the Hale Center, where various people within the RU Athletics Dept gave presentations, on things like nutrition, training, mental health, life skills… the training people were talking about footwear, and were trashing Nike shoes, and how they are poorly designed and bad for your feet. Couldn’t help but think how it was very soon after Rutgers switched to Adidas. Wonder what they’d say if they go back to Nike. Of course the only thing that matters for any school is $$$$.Heavy rumors RU will be a Nike school next year.
I would imagine Don Bosco would get blown out by an ACC team..His school getting blown out by a Mediocre wake forest team
That’s never stopped kids from going places. At least not all kids. Otherwise we never get Angel and IW as the most recent examples.His school getting blown out by a Mediocre wake forest team
