I've dug into this one a bit over the past day and a half and I'm told WVU is the team to beat here. They already have his high school teammate in Kelvin Odih committed and they will get him to campus on the weekend of November 3rd and the feeling is that could wrap up his recruitment as he wants to sign during the early period which would be one week after that. He also took an OV to St. Mary's recently, so that would be the other school to watch. Also before anyone asks, this does not effect the recruitment of fellow forward Chris Nwuli.

Butler

This is more of a question for posters who have medical training, especially in sports medicine. Posters have been generally enamored concerning Butler’s work here at Rutgers. Focus usually centers around size, strength, speed and agility, as I see it from reading here. I have no medical training or expertise; however, I wonder if the training includes enough joint and injury protection protocols. Certainly, football is a physical and somewhat dangerous sport, but when a team experiences injury numbers larger than the norm, is it merely happenstance, or can it be mitigated by different regimens. We were so excited for this year, especially from having a good number of experienced juniors and seniors. Although I understand that the season is only half over, and we may be able to turn around from the last two weeks; it seems that our injury list is especially concerning. Not only do these injuries affect team performance, but can follow these young men throughout their lives.

2024 All-WNBA

>Kahleah Copper, Mercury: In her ninth WNBA season and first with Phoenix, Copper ranked third in the WNBA in scoring with a career-high 21.7 points per game. The 6-1 guard-forward had the second-most games with at least 30 points (nine) and was the only player to twice record consecutive games of 30 or more points.<

Army vs. Rutgers Football

I think Rutgers has some of the best fans around and I personally wish that the Scarlet Knights and the Army Black Knights played on a regular basis, similar to Notre Dame-Navy.

Dremel

Just appreciate everything this guy does - a total selfless team player. He deserves to be playing based on last year's performance - and he proved it against Wisconsin. He reminds me of Wayne Chrebet - another tough, quick undersized Jersey guy who nobody (no D1A at the time) wanted to give a chance - yet, just caught everything thrown to him (or near him) and set records at Hofstra - before walking on the Jets and becoming a Pro Bowl caliber player. Not saying Dremel is quite at that level - but damn if he isn't fairly close to that.

Defense lost 5 NFL Draft Picks

  • Toure
  • Powell
  • Longerbeam
  • Rogers
  • Lewis
Certainly not an insignificant number of defenders. Losing 1 or 2 is bad enough. Losing 5 is Catastrophic, because its 45% of our defense. Their replacements will continue to do the best they can, but it won't be easy because they have learning curves, and are getting acclimated to this level of play. Not a coincidence that after Lewis went down, their back kept bouncing out to Lewis' side for big gains.

Not only are we losing these players, we're losing their experience, their maturity, their leadership, and the time they spent developing. Intangibles that are impossible to quantify. Some of the replacements are reacting to what they see, rather than instinctively positioning themselves to make the play. Lots of tackles are happening downfield, rather than in the backfield, for a TFL. So we just have to be patient, while the newbies develop. What other choice do we have?

OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

Our kids are really rounding into form. Pulisic, McKennie, Reyna, Dest are all world class right now and they are so young. Adams is right there too. Then you have Musah who has come out of nowhere to look great. I think Richards will make the jump and pair up with Brooks. We are a great full back and striker away from having true studs at every position and we have depth. The striker part has me a little worried. Hoping Weah or Sargent can make the leap. Julian Green is also making noise and starting to fulfill the promise. He should get another look.
