Would be more upset about this if we didn’t flip Mitchell and have the guys returning that we do.

Deep room ..he would have a looong wait. Buh bye

Did the Forster cool on Rutgers or vice versa? And is this why the staff offered Terrell Mitchell?

Thread timeline suggests Mitchell flip came first.

Seems like a pretty similar level recruit, but if RU was trying to flip Mitchell even while Forster was a commit, that suggests we liked Mitchell more.

There’s an article out of Illinois that contact with Rutgers cooled after the summer while Illinois continued to pursue him. I’ll link it later when I get home.

Forster missing most of this season with an injury probably played a role

Well, compared to what was gonna happen to this recruiting class after the Wisconsin game according to some posters here, I'm very happy with what remains of this class. A lot of quality prospects.

Thought I heard somewhere he played poorly when he did play as well.
