Been a Rutgers fan for a long time. Its been a long time since excitement for all of our teams was this high. Thank you Coach for being a great leader and terrific representative for our university.

The RAC was built as a direct consequence of our '76 undefeated/Final Four season. If this team can achieve anything close to that, Rutgers' athletic program should benefit enormously.

What??? Pikiell himself? Outstanding.

Great interview Aaron. It is always good to hear from Coach Pike. I love the summer, so do not want to rush through it, but with football, wrestling, and basketball it should be a special year next year, I can't wait, Go RU!

So he pretty much confirmed martini will be playing some 5 this year. Will definitely open up the offense with a lineup like that on the court

I can’t wait to walk past the statue they’re going to build for Coach Pike in 20 years. This is going to be the greatest season in Rutgers history, I can just feel it.

Harper (6'7?) and Bailey (6'10?) seem to be getting taller. Any real numbers out there?

[@jonathanb4764]

Harper is probably about 6'6" and Ace probably 6'9"
