I agree RU's future is bright. And it's terrific that in 1-2 years, Stringer can completely revamp the offense. Makes me wonder why other coaches can't seem to do the same thing. I think RU played hard for almost the entire game and was impressed with the skill of their players.

I've said time and time again that we're good. I think we're going to keep getting better as the season goes on.

We just don't have a whole lot of size. Hopefully Ariel Butts is going to be okay..:(
 
Aside from the 30 point loss, I thought Rutgers looked good.

Scaife and Copper make a formidable tandem in the backcourt. If Hollivay can continue to score and get better with Laney roaming the court as a 3, Rutgers will get better.

They are pretty young, right?

No seniors. Laney is a junior, Hollivay and Copper are sophomore.

They actually can shoot..

Jeez....I didn't say they were good.....I said they can shoot. Normal Rutgers teams shoot 30%, this team shoots 40%.

That is all.
 
What is also different is Rutgers' defense which is not very good. It's probably a function of youth but UConn pretty much got whatever shot it wanted.

CVS has said that they haven't worked on defense that much this year, although I believe that will change now. :p
 
The changes are amazing. The defense, which was good and sometimes great, got very soft. The offense and shooting, which were abysmal at times, looked quite respectable.

I guess multitasking isn't CVS or her team's forte.
 
CViv has two and maybe three players who can created their own shot in Cooper Scaife and Laney and Hollivay as an interesting post presence. I still don't see a lot of great offense being played, but with those players creating, Rutgers looks a lot better. It does look like the old Carson, Cappie, Ajavon, Vaughn era without the killer defense.
 
If you allow 90 you gotta score 91! Will never happen in the next 3 years for Viv.

It may be shooting, more than offensive sets. I think Cappie and Piph may have been the only shooters over a decade, so this group may be better than the RU norm.
