OTB has posted an article " Five Sports Rutgers Should Add?

A better question is name five that should be eliminate? What say you?

The new Flo high school rankings are out.
Hamilton a senior - unlimited ranked # 3. Can he do both or will it be footbal?
White a senior 145lb ranked # 15
Chletsos a junior 132lb ranked 13th
Soldano a junior 182 ranked 4th

No other recruits ranked by Flo

It seems that our recruiting has fallen off. Are we saving money for Shane Griffith? What do you think?

Seems low

12. Rutgers​

Rutgers has made a bowl game two years in a row, but they’re still ways away from competing for a Big Ten title. Greg Schiano has to make sure to get his defense back on the right track but the offense seems to have figured it out.

Athan Kaliakmanis is the QB, his second year in the system, and Rutgers has plenty of young playmakers. This could be a competitive team in 2025, but not for a conference crown.

Consider tomorrow's low 90s just an appetizer, as it looks like we will have highs in the 90s from about Sunday through the following Saturday, at least, with mid to upper 90s looking likely from Monday through Thursday - which means 100F highs are in the realm of possibility, as per the links below (and the NWS). Sucks for people, like me, who hate the heat and have been enjoying the relatively cool Spring into early Summer so far. Somewhere, bac is oiling up for this.

Also, heat is often called the "silent killer," as it is the #1 weather-related source of deaths, causing more deaths than hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined, as per the link below (and is especially deadly for the elderly), so stay hydrated and safe out there.

Can 466 Million people be wrong?
Don't think so...but do enjoy a good cover.

Chun, however, still believes UW will earn a full share when the conference renegotiates its next media contract, expected to begin in 2030. However, Chun clarified that the Big Ten’s next contract likely won’t include equal shares for every program, with the conference potentially taking a brand-based model approach.

@Richie O do we have a shot here?

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about potential assistant coaches and staff since we have many openings?

The idea is you can only post word. We try to keep a continuous thought going. You get one word and one word only.

FIRST WORD:


Schiano

Will morph into season thread as it get closer...

I know there were some recent threads out there, but I looked and could not find them.

So I'm starting one up fresh.

I think I saw something recently on News 12 that like 15 out of 18 weekends since March have had rain?

Within the next 4 years, would you choose RU getting into the CFB playoff first round (what ever the format is) or the MBB getting to the Elite 8?

In a shocking turn of events it seems like Basset decommited from Iowa.. doubt we got any shot but any ideas where he will go??

I’d guess Okie state as front runners and maybe PSU second…. If Okie state lands Basset and Melvin.. along w Jax and all their other commitments… DT and Okie state got a real chance of knocking off PSU in a few years…

I know you guys have been sworn to secrecy about who the new AD may but my question is how much input did our new president have in the process?
Thanks

2016 : Recruiting Rank 78 : Football Record 2-10
2017 : 43 : 4-8
2018 : 58 : 1-11
2019 : 53 : 2-10
2020 : 67 : Schiano comes back : 3-6
2021 : 32 : 5-7
2022 : 38 : 4-8
2023 : 62 : 6-6
2024 : 35 : 7-5
2025 : 30
2026 : 29 so far

Football Games : first 3 years had losing records. Talent level was dismal. Last 2 years got us back to respectability on the field.
Recruiting : Not counting 2020 when if i recall he came into a dead period and had a few weeks to salvage the class, we are averaging a Rank 39 class even with the 2023 outlier. I know NIL has put Rutgers at a disadvantage to some programs, hopefully B10 Revenue sharing can help us some.

I got to believe that we will crack top 30 in recruiting ranking and get a 8-4(B10 5-4) record in the next 3 years.
Schiano 1.0 best recruiting years were 2011/2012 with ranks 32/24

Hoping we can get to 7-5 this year which will be tough with only 4 B10 home games and Oregon, PSU and OSU on the schedule..... but maybe with a winning record and an upset we can get a 25ish ranked recruiting class. Anyone think there is any chance at this? at least a 40% chance?
