Ambrosio kicks one in Cotton Bowl

Sorry, no respect for a kid who was plucked out obscurity from soccer team by Greg, groomed, then leaves. But I guess that’s the way it is these days.
Is that what happened?

I had to take that idiot off ignore to read his latest bit of stupidity. Of course that's not what happened. He got recruited over and left for what turned out to be a better situation. Good for him. Kicked the game winning PAT.

My kids, who went to school with him and his sister were following the family Snapchats from the stadium during the game. Lots of fun, made Cranford proud.

The fails continue under Schiano.
O’Neal was the best OL for UCLA this season, QB Snyder at Buffalo, etc
Be careful with Snyder. You will get pounced on and told that he has found the level he can compete at. I think that is horse crap, but whatever. We will never know. It's funny though, you don't see Cole Snyder or Ambrosio tweeting snarky crap like our former WR coach taking shots at RU on Twitter. Happy for the guys who have found success elsewhere, but really, Jude over Ambrosio is a huge head scratcher so far.
 
I was asking about the leaving part.

I know he was on the soccer team. We all do.
How do you think he became a football player? Greg. He left because ? “Recruited over?” Really? I guess he didn’t like competition.

This exactly
And chasing out O’Neal is unfathomable .
 
The thing with Schiano is, if a player doesn't follow the work ethic/rules to a t, he gives them the life lesson treatment. Remember Anthony Davis? No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the nation, and when he came to camp over weight Schiano had him work out with the freshman. If there was a transfer portal then, I think he would have left. I think he stayed bitter about that for a long time. Schiano did the same thing to Tom Savage. He played Dodd. And Savage did transfer. Schiano will play a lesser skilled player because they work hard and are at meetings on time, etc. and sacrifice winning. I figure the WR out of Syracuse left because of his 'Life Lesson'. Other coaches do it too, Graber had another player take kick returns over super star Willis because of the same reason.

Whelp, there goes that thought. My son told me Ambrosio tweeted "the grass is greener on the other side" or something similar, and tagged the aforementioned former WR coach. Sorry CranfordKnight, but if he did indeed tweet that, he just automatically made the d-bag list.

Does this count as the board jinx? Asking for a poster friend. Can I get a lifeline from someone here, I'm dying of laughter. I'm amusing myself, like the clown I feel like right now.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you and cover my arse--Ambrosio was probably talking about the Green Wave and that the turf/grass grows nicer and greener down in Louisiana than in Piscataway. That's my take, and I will die on that greener grass hill.

EDIT--OK, I had to check his Twitter feed. Did not see anything like that. He's proud of being Italian, and a few weeks ago, he and Adam Scheier connected:

The idea that Rutgers needs to land every NJ athlete has killed us for years. Get the best possible players. If he’s a NJ native, that’s great. Provincial recruiting is Mr. Magoo recruiting.

Most coaches will say you want your best players to be your hardest working players. Agree the portal allows guys like O’Neal to move on based on talent alone. Agree Davis may have left and it wasn’t just his work ethic. He was so talented he didn’t have to work hard. Maybe he did in the NFL I don’t know. Schiano had a 5 star recruit early in his RU career who never saw the field. Schiano said he was the nicest kid but didn’t want to work.

Not sure how this applies to our old Kicker. Happy for Ambrosio.
 
Met this kid's Dad @ the bowl game. He was excited about the team and the game. I think the kid transferred for the ability to play more, not because he didn't want to be here.
I'm happy for the kid and wish him nothing but the best.

The same genius coach who also chased away his best offensive linemen to UCLA lol

Quotes like this reveal how some fans don’t understand the difference between college and pro.. the kid made a decision to go to another school, and you ‘lose all respect’. Get a grip man, he’s a damn kicker

How can Schiano be blamed for Oneal leaving? Wouldn't his experience under Ash have had more t do with it?
O’Neal did play 2 years under Schiano.
Not sure on why he left.. thought it was a position issue with the staff (?) I could be wrong.
We certainly needed O’Neal last season on the OL.

We’ve lost a bunch of linemen who left and contributed significantly at their new program. Off the top of my head … Jonah Jackson, Mike Maietti, Matt Rosso. I’m sure there are others.
 
He was a soccer player for Rutgers. Schiano brought him in to kick. Fact.
So he did GS a favor. Man doesn’t matter if someone brings you in, if the ship is burning you gonna jump off. No one complains when a kid is given the “talk”, so no one should complain when a kid transfers.
