I do think adding Wusu/EHE and losing Ndefo will help substantially with spacing + have unquantifiable impact on offense

not wrong....as we all saw it ourselves....but still....ouch.
It was brutal. The sloppiness was an epidemic. We weren’t compelling to watch. No juice.
I would caution that Holloway’s teams at SPC were generally awful too. But they looked good when it counted most in the 2022 NCAAT, lol. It should be a concern with his coaching until it looks better. The offensive players on the floor this year will be better than last. More guys will be in natural positions. Oh, and it can’t get worse, right? 😳
Wusu will at least help with floor spacing more than Femi IMO. I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good of a ball handler or defender as Femi, having watched him some over the years. But he is definitely a better shooter and as long as the shooting is a threat that opens up drive lanes to the basket for him.
I like Wusu a lot but would have loved to have him and Femi on this squad.
It is a good listen. It is stunning to consider that some of the largest and wealthiest schools care only about money, even it leaves them wholly incapable of competing. RU had a near zero chance of winning a conference championship before recent expansion, but now it will likely finish each football season 4 spots lower. Many RU fans seemingly are fine following a team that will be a bottom half team in near perpetuity; in fact, many are happy because RU gets a big paycheck. How do fans stay enthusiastic and supportive long term in a structurally inferior position?
In reality, RU is a buy game for OSU, UM, USC, etc. It is akin to RU paying Wagner for an easy win.
RU is used to finishing last, having constant losing seasons and never going to post-season. Now they just get more money to do it but they waste even exponentially more money but since they don’t have people donating they don’t care because their bill for wasteful spending is just handed to the taxpayers. All of this because a small handful of their people desperately want to believe they matter in college athletics when everyone else knows they truly don’t.

And bankrupting the state!
Does Hall Ball promote or advertise any of their own events or is that left up to everyone else?
Because for me at least it is not all about Football. Almost every single RU sport has improved since joining the BIG.
Agree with his politics or not I think everyone can agree that he is a good human being who always wanted to help his fellow man. May God watch over him and his family.
Probably the President who did the most to help the world after he left office. A truly great man.
To date record in Big Ten in all sports is 177-514-14
That's a 34% winning percentage not including the ties
I wouldn’t be totally shocked if hinson is right and that is an improvement. Woof
Ok, I'll play. Here are the programs that are much better since joining the BIG:
- Field Hockey: BIG championship and consistent NCAA team.
Womens Soccer- two FF, BIG chamionship.
Mens Soccer- BIG Championship
Mens Lacrosse- Final four
Wrestling: two national champion wrestlers, consistent top 15 program
Crew: consistent NCAA team and top 10 program
Women's Lacrosse- consistent top 15 program and NCAA qualifier.
Mens Basketball- you know Pike's success.
BTW, these are all from the past five years. I challenge you to list the conference titles and accomplishments of the Seton Hall Athletic Department over the same time period. (in a much weaker sports conference )
FWIW, there is still a lot of consternation about Neptune’s coaching ability by VU administration. They spent heavily with P4P, and some feel he should be on a short leash.
The good and now the BAD Football , Cross Country W&M, Golf W&M ,Track and field W&M ,Women"s basketball ,Gymnastics , Softball ,Swimming &diving ,Women's Tennis and women's volleyball . You're a big state University in a big conference so you can't compare schools and conferences but I'll go head to head with all the sports teams we offer with yours .David vs Goliath .
They also played two non D-I teams last season.
For that matter they've played at least one, if not two, D-I opponent(s) most years going back several years.
