Lance Thomas prefers Rutgers [Archive] - GOAZCATS.com Message Board

Arizona is a great school with a great legacy, but Lance is a Jersey kid. Zona has gotta start recruiting talent from their own area and stop leaching from basketball hotbeds like Jersey, New York, and California. I know Hassan Adams (I was his brother's dentist), and he is a great guy, but he deserves better than be going to school in the middle of nowhere... no culture, no sophistication, no history. I mean Tucson? Besides researching Armidillo, what the hell do you do there for 4 years? Rutgers is starting to recruit their big-time home grown talent, in football and basketball, and Lance realizes that. JR Inman, Anthony Farmer, and Jaron Griffin are a super corp of freshman recruits coming in this year. When the top seniors in Jersey stayed home, Rutgers will be a consistant final four team. Think about it: Andrew Bynum, Charlie Villanueva, Sean Banks, Luol Deng, JR Smith, Lance Thomas, Derrick Character, and Earl Clark all out of Jersey in the last 3 years, and this is not even counting all the New York City talent, just 28 miles away from the Rutgers campus! Know you now, AZ fans! Good luck this season.

And what do those last recruits have in common? They didn't go to Rutgers.

You've made this same post twice on this board...which is two times too many, frankly.

You do not know fact one about Tucson or this university to spew this crap over the board twice. It doesn't take that many brain cells to understand what the University of Arizona basketball program has done in the past 20 years--much less why any top hoops player in any high school in this country and many outside the U.S. would want to go play here.

Apparently that's too much to ask of some people, though. :rolleyes:

Zona has gotta start recruiting talent from their own state and stop leeching from basketball hotbeds like Jersey, New York, and California.

For what reason? Is it somehow ethically or procedurally wrong that Arizona can get the nation's top basketball recruits from ANY state? That statement is just incredibly thoughtless and absurd.

I know Hassan Adams (was his brother's dentist), and he is a nice enough guy, but he deserves better than be going to school in the middle of nowhere... no culture, no sophistication, no history.

:roll: Have you ever even BEEN to Tucson? If you're going to offend everyone in Tucson, at least offend them on better authority than being the dentist for Hassan Adams' brother.

I mean Tucson? Besides researching Armidillo, what the hell do you do there for 4 years?

A lot more than what they teach at Rutgers, apparently...like how to spell 'armadillo'. :rolleyes: And how to write sentences without mixing tenses (see below):

When the top seniors in Jersey stayed home, Rutgers will be a consistant final four team. Think about it: Andrew Bynum, Charlie Villanueva, Sean Banks, Luol Deng, JR Smith, Lance Thomas, Derrick Character, and Earl Clark all out of Jersey in the last 3 years, and this is not even counting all the New York City talent, just 28 miles away from the Rutgers campus!

Have ANY of those guys done ANYTHING in the league yet? Didn't think so. Oh, and if NYC is so close, how come all the 'talent' there chooses to go elsewhere than up-and-coming Rutgers?

Rutgers hasn't had a player drafted to the league since Eddie Jordan in the '70s. I like the bravado and confidence of an up-and-coming program, but don't patronize this board with some suggestion that Rutgers basketball is somehow on another level than Arizona--except below it.

I like the dentist angle. My dentist swore up and down how Oklahoma was going to wipe out USC. Dentists are the least knowledgable sports fans around, because they talk sports all day long to people with gauze, tubes and clamps in their mouth. I had a dentist in LA who was a huge UCLA fan. He would talk about what a great guy Lavin was and how it was a smart move replacing Harrick with Steverino...

I'm not talking about spelling or typos. I'm talking about the ability to construct a sentence. I figure if I'm trying to impress people with the quality of my education, I might proof read my two sentence posts to make sure I'm actually using English. But I guess my jerk water English Degree from James Madison University, and my useless MFA from Arizona hasn't prepared me to properly assess the magnitude of your awe inspiring intellect.

The fact that you know absolutely nothing about Rutgers basketball, nothing about Tucson, nothing about Arizona, coupled with posts seemingly constructed by a junior high school student doesn’t help you sell your case.

Writing is an intellectual fingerprint. If you’re truly educated, then writing is like walking. Nobody staggers around just because they don’t feel they need to walk straight. It’s second nature. You do it correctly without thinking.

It’s how you can easily tell a BS Duke fan from an actual Duke graduate. We get idiots trying to pass themselves off as Duke fans here all the time, but it’s very easy to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.

You went to JMU?.. I just drove down there last weekend for a Halloween Party. In this area (DC), JMU is known as strictly a party school. I'm not saying you weren't a superior academic as you indeed profess, but as my friend down there readily admits, "the academics are surely not acclaimed." It's quite obvious I've disturbed you to the point of using unecessary diction and exagerrated illustrations to promote yourself, and I'm sure I'll be banned soon, so good luck not choking again next year in the tournament. Make sure you put your extensive moderator experience at the top of your CV!
Funny that a good portion of the JMU population when I was there were people from Jersey who didn't want to go to a crap hole like Rutgers. If you can get into Princeton, sure, hang around.

Currently you need 1300+ on your SAT and top grades to actually get into JMU. They turn away more applicants than any other college in the state of Virginia.

However, that's the school today. When I was there it was an excellent party school. By comparison, I think it's fallen on hard times now.

He didn't sound to happy at then time (after you guys lost in the NCAA's to Seton Hall, another Jersey school, by the way), but that was before Shakur got there.

You're comparing JMU and Rutgers academically? Now that's a good one. Evidently, the most noteworthy of your renaissance man-like talents is the one of a stand-up comic.

US News Ranking (2006):

Rutgers - 60
Arizona - 97
JMU - not listed in top 120? Apparently, spelling JMU means you get an english degree.

By the way, why am I not banned yet? I got $10 riding on it.
I can write. And I know a moron when I meet him.

Riddle me this tool. Why would an elite level basketball player bother with Rutgers? I know you didn't go to Rutgers, have no affiliation with Rutgers, and know nothing about Rutgers basketball. Has Rutgers ever made it to the first round of the tourney? How about the 2nd round?

You're still around for amusement value. My educated guess is your currently attending NBCC. For those outside the Garden State, that's New Brunswick Community College. It has the distinction of being one of those sad wannabe Rutgers schools.

I would guess you're the dweeb top right, but more likely the brainless fat chick bottom left who was too stupid to get into Rutgers...

Not to turn this into a JMU forum...

The stats I quoted are incoming Freshman stats. Most people get in as transfers, because it's difficult to get in as a Freshman. One of my former profs offered up that JMU turns away more Freshman applications than any other university in the state. I haven't checked that stat, but I'd be very surprised if she made it up.

In my day, JMU had a sizable percentage of students from Jersey. Most wanted to get out of Jersey and wanted nothing to do with Rutgers.
No offense to Rutgers, which is a nice academic school, but the people I know who've graduated from Rutgers haven't exactly waxed on about the experience.

Rutgers-New Brunswick is in a semi-nice area, of course the walls of New Jersey Transit leading up to it are all tagged.

The only good things about Jersey:
a. Atlantic City, a poor mans Vegas
b. Jersey Shore, a poor mans Pacific
c. Proximity to NYC. (it's not that good that a top 3 quality is that it is near another state)

Why anybody with any talent would go to Rutgers is beyond me.

Rutgers = great academics, friends attend, state pride, close to home, sleeping giant, close to the best city in the world, great area in Jersey.
Everbody leaves Jersey. New Brunswick is marginal at best.

Go to Rutgers and visit NY. Go to Arizona and play in Madison Square Garden on a regular basis, graduate and make millions of dollars playing in MSG.

If you've lived your whole life in Jersey, why stay? Expand your horizons. Go to a basketball power that will teach you what it's like to compete on the highest level. Challenge yourself. See how you stack up against the top players in the nation. Make new friends. Study under a great basketball mind that can raise your game.

If you're going to go to Rutgers as an elite basketball player, you might as well play at a community college. The coaching staff will not challenge you to improve yourself, they'll just use you to make themselves look good.

You show up as a B-Ball player at Arizona, and you've earned nothing. You have to make it happen for yourself against elite level talented competition. You have to fight every day against guys who will be picking up an NBA paycheck in a couiple of years. You have a HOF coach telling you what you need to know to make yourself better as a player.

Tell me again sshah1972 what Rutger's has to offer?

Lance would sell himself cheap if he picked Rutgers over the other schools he's considering. And his friend would have done him a diservice telling him to be something less than he's capable of.

Take out Camden-Newark-Orange-Jersey City-Bayonne it is a great state. haha my list got bigger based on my memory, but its mainly one area near NY

The state has much more than Atlantic City and Jersey shore. Both of those are better then you represent.

We had a Lake house near Franklin, NJ. Great area. Lake Gerard.

The only reason I could see for LT going to Rutgers is to be the ONE from New Jersey to stay at home and lead them to the NCAA tourney.

It's called denial and delusion.. mostly delusion. Nobody outside of Arizona believes in your brainwash-infused biased view of your program. Lute Olsen is the most overrated coach in the country.. he's your basic generic retard. Arizona players have no poise or composure when it matters most... you're now known through the college basketball world as choking every year.. and that's a fact! And players get into the NBA from every school... and since Rutgers will be an elite team in the best conference in the country by far and in the biggest market in the country, I doubt NBA scouts can overlook it.

Princeton> Penn at academics, but thats about it. By and large princeton people are the snootiest I've ever met. I only applied to 4 schools: Harvard, Yale, Penn, and the UofA. There is a reason I excluded Princeton. Also, Penn has owned princeton in athletics! :p

The personalities you find in the Garden State are completely unique...i know because I've been all over the US and the world with the military. Just look at the talent - sports, cultural, and otherwise - that has emanated from the state. How else does one judge a state if not by the vitality and success of its people? And more people decide to live in Jersey than any other state in the country... highest population density.

I found this excerpt on our great state:

If you live in north central jersey... you live 30 minutes from 4 pro sports teams, 1 hour away from 13 pro sports teams (and 9 title games since 2000), have the richest per capita income in USA, live 40 minutes from beaches that always make the top 20 in USA, live 30 minutes from 9 of the top 50 restaurants in USA (CondeNast), live 25 minutes from the #1 golf course in USA (Pine Valley, NJ), and 1 hour from 9 of the top 100 courses in USA (Golf Magazine), 35 minutes from the top university in USA (Princeton) and 90 minutes from 4 ivy league colleges, spend the most per student on education, more luxury malls per square mile than anywhere in USA, 60 minutes from great skiiing, your house is worth more than any other place in the country, and you're just 30 minutes from the greatest city in the world!

I dont live near any golf courses that are any good, or fancy restaurants, I dont attend a major university with amazing academics, Im not the shapest tool in the shed, I havent completed my associates degree at Pima Community College... I dont know any rich or famous people, I dont know of too many rich or famous people who grew up in Tucson, I dont know to many "completely" unique people. I like to use the period a lot, and a rolling laughey face. I've never been to more than 4 states, and I've never been outside of the United States but to a few nasty ass ghettos in Mexico with "lowlife scum", I dont know any fancy movie directors or all star athletes. Ive never been to a super bowl, or an NCAA tournament game. I've only seen the Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns as far as pro teams go. I cant claim my portion of the country is home to world famous rappers, artists, and the like. Im never gonna have the privilege of attending an Ivy League school, or a top notch eastern academic machine, Im never gonna have a top notch job, I didnt even want to finish high school. I dont care much about ski resorts or candle light dinners, my house isnt worth much. I dont live in a huge metropolitan city, I dont dine with the stars or live near one. I cant even afford to wear top notch clothing lines, and I dont visit the mall more then maybe 10-15 times a year in a good one, I went to ****ty high school, I attend Community college as I can afford it. I dont even care about paragraphs at this point. I never joined the military, and I dont know any dentists, I've never hung out with a dentist. I dont know Hassan Adams or Lance Thomas, quite frankly if sports were wiped off the face of the earth it really wouldnt kill me. My neighborhood is getting worse and worse by the month. I dont live near any "great cities" Ive only been in an airplane once in my life..

But shah I do thank god... Wanna know why? Because I love what I get, I love what I earn, and I thank him everyday that Im not some self righteous douchebag who measures his life by his possesions,education, and his city. I thank god Im not some uptight prick who lives on the fact that he lives in some beautiful city and my biggest worry is weather or not Lance Thomas freakin commits to playing basketball.

What restaurant did you eat lunch with Hassan at? Actually, the Burger King next to the commissary at Andrews AFB. What did he have? I have no idea.

Where did you serve in the Air Force? Andrews AFB. What bases did you live in? I was an officer (captain) - got to live off base. Served overseas also, in Turkey (Incirlik- operation Northern Watch)

Describe the process of a root canal. Depends on the tooth.. lower molars have 4 canals (generally) and require a rectangular access down to the cemento-enamal junction. Using a size 20 file, flare down to the root apex (measured against a PA X-ray, of course). Use copious irrigation and NaOCL while shaping the canals.. Fill with gutta percha and then crown the tooth to account for the loss of vitality (no more blood flow) What are the signs of periodontal disease? Bleeding gums, spongiform periodotium, deep periodontal pockets, recession.

Is flossing overrated? No.. definitely not. Make sure you get the mesial and distal surfaces of the tooth.
That was good. Nice comeback. I'm a believer now... :cheers:

Andrews is nice a post.

Why the hate for Arizona? Why go out of your way to show up on an AZ board and trash our program for a school you never attended? You've lived other places in the world and enjoyed them. Why not let a kid from Jersey travel and play top level B-Ball?

Growing up on the east coast I thought Arizona would be like the Sahara, until I discovered the diversity of what's out there. It's a powerful place to spend a few years if you're from the east coast.

Rutgers is not a B-Ball school. Bachelors degrees are pretty generic, especially if you're focusing on playing Div-1 athletics. Why should Lance sell himself short on his potential? State loyalty? If he's staying in state shouldn't he go to Seton Hall, which at least can field a legit basketball team?

Despite what you think, Arizona basketball will challenge a player. Lute isn't in the HOF because he's overrated. NBA scouts know that Lute delivers players ready to play at the NBA level. AZ players are extremely loyal to Lute and routinely throw back credit for taking them to the next level.

You think we're an arrogant bunch of fans. Actually, we're a bunch of people who are pretty confident that our program is a great opportunity for a player.

If you did have lunch with Hassan that year, you should know that that was our worst year in the Lute era. We had major depth and player issues that we corrected last year and exceeded everyone's expectations and took a #1 seed to the limit on basically there home court. I was proud of last year's team.

Anyway, I have nothing against Arizona, but while I was on the Rutgers board earlier tonite, some Arizona fan came on and just assumed Lance Thomas would dismiss RU. I know it's hard to believe for fans 2000 miles away, but Rutgers is a sleeping giant. Trust me when I say there's a high level of talent in the area around the school. That, coupled with our newly acquired assistant coach/head recruiter (Fred Hill, who came over to coach for his state university), who recruited Villanova's current team (#4 in the country), highlights the new emphasis the Rutgers board members and alumni are putting on athletics (started in ernest about 5 years ago). I know it's not saying much, but Rutgers did make the NIT finals 2 years ago... and has been getting (slowly) better and better recruits...(remember the name JR Inman).. in football and basketball (football is ahead of basketball right now, though). If Lance Thomas commits, it will start a deluge of Jersey players staying home and representing their state, and he's already been quoted as saying that "I would love to represent the talent of my home state on a national level"

Thomas has AZ, Duke and Wake in his sights. No offense to Rutgers, but those are some golden opportunities. Any of those would be a huge opportunity for Lance.

sshah1972

11-01-2005, 01:08 AM

I grew up on the fringes of the RU campus and loved the environment. Also, if Lance Thomas comes to Rutgers (with his buddy E. Harvey), and plays with JR Inman, Quincy Douby, and Jarron Griffin, that team is almost assuredly a top 25 team, if not better. Did Gonzaga have any national exposure 10 years ago? Look what they did... and frankly, RU has much more potential. And why are Wake, Duke and AZ necessarily better opportunities? At Rutgers, he would be playing against the top talent and teams in the country in the (new) big east every game... that, in itself, will test him against NBA caliber players like no other league can.

And the arena Rutgers plays in... the RAC.. is about as exciting and intimidating a home venue as there is in the country. It is consistently ranked along side Duke and New Mexico State as the best home court advantage in college basketball

11-01-2005, 01:17 AM

SI Preview excerpt:

The most significant personnel move that fifth-year head coach Gary Waters made in the offseason didn't affect his roster. But it should in the years to come.

Frustrated by a last-place finish in the Big East last season and mediocre recruiting his first three seasons, Waters hired Fred Hill, one of the nation's top recruiters, as his associate head coach. Hill had been Jay Wright's top assistant at Villanova, where he helped the Wildcats land a class that was ranked in the top five nationally four years ago. That group led the Wildcats to the Sweet 16 last March.

Prior to that, Hill, while an assistant at Seton Hall, played a key role in the Pirates' top-rated recruiting class of 2000. "He knows where the talent is, and he knows how to get it," Waters says. "He has a track record of success."

Ironically, Waters managed to attract what looks to be his best class yet at Rutgers prior to Hill's arrival in the spring. Three of the four freshmen prepped in New Jersey, and all three are expected to play a significant role right away.

Slender freshman forward JR Inman, the most heralded recruit Waters has landed at Rutgers, is versatile enough, at 6-foot-9, to play inside or outside.

Just wanted to switch careers... I was bored by dentistry, but a GS-11 salary is a tough transition. I do know a foreign language. I'm not gonna say who I work for on a public message board... and it's not relevant.

And Seton Hall is a mere shadow of Rutgers.

And, by the way, Richard Jefferson is my favorite NBA players... so I don't discount Arizona's greatness. It doesn't mean Lance should turn down Rutgers, however. He'll make it to the NBA if he has the talent regardless.

Well, I'm about to pass out.. I'll be talking to you guys. Good Luck without Lance :)

Besides the fact that this is an exceedingly odd thing to do, I thought it strange that you didn't care to specify anything about yourself and then, when you did, made sure to not include much information.

TopCat, you humor fakers far too much. This poster may have been a dentist at one time, but that's it. In every other way he/she/it expresses himself, the poster is nothing but a poseur and an arrogant fraud--far beyond the stage required to certify one insane. Check the (lack of) information on this poster's profile for verification.

No college-educated person speaks or writes like you do, sshah. Not now, not ever. Oh, and by the way, Strunk and White is anything but a metaphor, it's the authority on grammar usage (NOT spelling)--for high-schoolers. Speaking plainly and not being flip, much less clueless, is a virtue.

Thank you for crawling back in your hole. You have achieved, in a relatively short period of time, the status of worst poster ever on this site with your inane rantings and assertions of delusion--from the deluded.

And this is without impugning the reputation of Jersey or Rutgers. Underrated state, solid school.

But you, sir, are without a doubt an insane attention freak who just can't live in our world. And I wouldn't want you to. You need serious help.

as a NJ native and rutgers fan, now working for the U of A, this thread was thoroughly entertaining. thanks to all the participants.

as for thomas, i certainly hope he picks RU, but I won't complain if UA gets him. heck, i'll probably be able to see him more is they did.

best of luck this season with the restructured offense. i'll certainly be watching.

I'm sure AZ is a nice place... I've been to Scottsdale twice, and enjoyed the nightlife.

Of course you did. It must have been odd for you though. I mean, without big haired sluts to hit on, and wife beater wearing guido's to drink with, what was there for you to do? Stare?

Rutgers has so much more to offer...including a more interesting and vivacious student body.

Translation - lot's of ugly whores with big hair. :roll:

How very special for you. What do you have to show for it?
-A huge superiority complex.
-Massive school debt?
-A really ****ty w-2.
-A crappy apartment in Alexandria? Or is it South Arlington?

sirname

\Sir"name`\, n. See Surname.

This means sirname=surname

= means "same as"

same means "not different"

Wow! We're all convinced. You are certainly a scholar to be reckoned with! :rolleyes:

Yes - I'm back... the new celebrity presence in your lives. Admit it, while sitting through your "How to deal with Ivy Leaguers as your Boss" class and "Why basketball is the only thing U of A is known for" class, you were musing about the revelations I relayed to you concerning Rutgers and New Jersey last night.

It's apparently rather easy to piss you desert-dwellers off. I was almost on the verge of having a civilized conversation with a few of you, but I can see that's not possible. Since it takes 20 of your kind to effectively debate me.. I figure it also requires 20 ASU degrees to equal 1 Rutgers degree, give or take a degree or two.

It's quite obvious I've made a huge impact on the lives of the Arizona community, and I know some of you are in awe of my presence on this board. Instead of trying to prove if my background is legit and googling all the amazing information I have enlightened you with about the state of New Jersey, maybe you should concentrate on catching up with the rest of America in intellect, culture, and savvy.

... and dealing with Lance coming to Rutgers

by the way, if you don't want to hear about RU's academic domination of Arizona, how about our comparative football standings, since you seemingly only care about athletics at Arizona:

RU #28
UofA #???
