He's a NJ native on Coppin St. Saw him burn RU for 19 pts. in that awful St Bonnie loss in Toronto back in Nov '19. He has since played for Robert Morris & Coppin State, but has not been playing in recent games.

Anyone know his status?

Was having an interesting conversation with a friend of mine: the premise was that if someone had a job where they worked virtually and had to go in the office maybe every 3-4 months, assuming the job was in NYC or northern NJ, what state on the east coast would be the best to live in given taxes, cost and availability of housing, car insurance rates, etc. Assume you need to be within an acceptable driving distance, so figure Maine down to Virginia. States that would be covered would be Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, DC and Virginia.

Not saying he’d be a home run hire or that he’d even want the job but Schiano’s foot dragging is concerning. I doubt any NFL team would hire him so it could happen.

We are now a national conference.

Patriot Devin McCourty’s on-field performance is matched only by his generosity​

The veteran football player’s realization about how his community looked over him and his twin brother is at the heart of why he gives back in the ways he does.​

Never enrolled at Rutgers, but haven't seen news of him committing anywhere else after this season, 1. is Rutgers still in the mix, 2. will he do another year of JUCO?

Big news, we have just announced a "match within the match" specificially for men's hoops.

Author Dave Anderson has pledged a $25,000 match for men's hoops donors with all the money potentially going towards the Million Dollar Match campaign,

This is only for money pledged for men's hoops so if you are interested, please make sure you earmark that money. Your dollar will get matched by Dave and both those dollars will be matched again as part of the overall match.

Here's a story about the pledge with background on Dave. https://www.nj.com/rutgersbasketbal...who-will-match-mens-basketball-donations.html

Xavier at St. John's. Sean Miller and Anderson miked up. Didn't hear Anderson say one really helpful thing. "Hustle, give me three minutes, we're right there..."Also, his players barely listened to him. It was funny.

Very deserved. Kid works his ass off like all the guys do. He had a great summer. I'm expecting even bigger things for him. For those keeping track, we have 1 defenseman, 1 attackman, and what will be 1 midfielder in Knobloch, who will most assuredly be in the top 10. If Sprock comes back to his previous level, he would be ranked as well. Having 4 top 50 players is a big deal.

Er, sorry, 2 point conversions?

God that's awful!

At this point, it's even money which happens first, OC hot board 3 getting released or the OC actually officially being hired

So is this it?
Everyone kept talking about a "portal QB" but it's been weeks with no movement.
Am I wrong in assuming we're not getting a QB of significance.

QB1: Gavin Wimsatt
QB2: Evan Simon
QB3: Ajani Sheppard (True freshman)

Is there anyone else on scholarship?
Doesn't look like any other HS QB commits for this year.

Forgot he's at Buffalo...Good luck to him

If looking for hoops the Xavier / Johnnies game is on FS1 at 9pm. Some really great matchups.

Posh Alexander's relentless defense vs current Big East player of year Souley Boum.

St John's big man Soriano vs Xavier bigs Freemantle and Nunge. (remember that guy from Iowa? Gotta be 25)

Funny I caught Johnnies game week or two ago and it's brutal when Curbelo and Alexander are on court at same time, neither can shoot.

Is on now ! Not much of a crowd. This is formerly papa John’s bowl ; one of the top moments of Schiano 1.0 with the win over nc state in 2008 . Although the game is no longer at Legion Field.
That was fun second half of the year culminating in the win over nc state and knocking Wilson out of the game.
Yes , yearning for the days of the pizza bowl !

A lot of people are down on GS recruiting and this class. Some have gone so far as to describe it as "Ash Like" which is laughable. I am judging our classes right now by two things: 1) Offensive line an 2) QB. Why? This will be the third cycle in a row where we have recruited good potential on the Oline. As we know, other programs (think Wisconsin) have become powerhouses behind a line of road graders. It makes your QB and RB's look a lot better (what would Pecheco be with a great OL?). Now, people say this class is Ash Like. Here are his recruits in 17, 18 and 19: Bowles, Beatty, Clark, Sutton. O'Neil, Rosso, Cooper, Hansen and Okkerson. Only nine in three years and TWO worked out. The four guys we recruited just this year are monsters compared to that group. Add these four to the seven we recruited last year, and we have the makings of a real OL. We didn't get a big name QB this year, but I like Sheppard's pedigree. He's a winner.

The case can be made that there are 3 or 4 three stars in the class that could easily have been 4 stars
Who?
Petersen
Toure
Strong
Perhaps Oliviere
Why: Petersen was a four star as an offensive tackle last year, this year he played DL and went both ways, he will be a defensive Tackle at the next level but only was a DL for this past year
Toure played multiple position on both offense and defense had good numbers at all, but not outstanding # at any one, but was all over the field helping his team, could easily have been a 4 if he had concentrated on a single position

Strong, how do you be the #1 player in the NY state and not be a 4, again another guy who played multiple position on different sides of the ball.
Oliviere great offer list, did not allow a sack in 2 yrs has all the measurable, but committed early and played at a small school with a poor record in SJ
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what your # is, it only matters how you perfor at the next level.

I have to admit, I was real happy to see Schiano back and even defended him against board members here. But alas, I hate to admit it, but those board members were correct. Let's just look at the facts:

- Schiano's record in the Big East: Overall: 68-67 Big East: 28-48
- Schiano's record in Big 10: Overall: 12 - 22 Big 10: 6 - 20
- recruiting has fallen off the cliff despite the fact we are in one of the best recruiting areas in the country and than add in FL, to not even have a top 7 recruiting class in the BIG is a big miss
- not developing a QB and an offense in year 3 of the program, is this Schiano meddling or poor hire and playing not to lose games? This squarely falls on Schiano's shoulders
- revolving door of coaches, got to hurt recruiting

I just don't see how we will even win 6 games next year, I see at best, 4-8 but most likely 2-10. I think it's time for Pat Hobbs to pull off the band-aid and get some new blood to coach our football team. The recruiting class is what it is, maybe the new coach can bring some talented transfers with him. It's just inevitable, Schiano will be gone after next year unless he works a miracle and at a minimum wins 6 games, which in my opinion is his ceiling for next year.

The facts speak for themselves: his Overall record, his mediocre recruiting classes, lack of offense,...... It's time for a change!
