Antonio Alfano wants to play here
- Thread starter WPUknight
- Start date
Kyle Flood will make sure he passes sance appreciation if he goes to Austin. Will be his position coach, no?
Too much risk with this player a former 5* or not. Could still be great player but … many here really only know a small part of his troubles which started back in Colonia. Just hope he’s healthy , working hard and can control his emotions. He wanted nothing to do with Rutgers not once but several other times. It’s all up to Greg Schiano , Rutgers and those who know the latest in this player.
What is the risk? He comes and if he flames out , cut his ass
I think we may owe Colonia
I trust schiano
Last thing we need is a special needs locker room cancer.
Screw that!
Trust me Colonia doesn’t want to cash that chit. He is not something they claim.
Ok . It don’t need to be alfano.
He was from rahway anyway right ? And he kinda actually looks like Antonio garay from the NFL and has the same first name! Kinda cool right?
No … there are some things which occurred which lead to taking a hard pass. Great player who was not a good team mate in high school at several high schools nor a type of young man we seem to want representing the university. He turned away several times from considering Rutgers. Let him go … hope he has miraculously gotten straightened out but usually after 4-5 seasons that ain’ t happening. Good Luck to him.
People are a lot different at 23 than 18. He played 2 seasons then had health issues.
He was in several places. Garay family yes … uncle ? ….all you need to do is research with some former teachers and coaches. Then go ask Nick Saban and I think at Colorado maybe Tucker… we don’t have the luxury nor probably the desire.
When I saw this thread pop up again, I figured for sure the kid must be in jail this time or someone saw him working at the car wash.
No nothing probably different under the cover of a JC. He never played at Bama nor Colorado. It’s His past actions which many question.
Kid has had issues since high school , into college. It is no fault but his own. His medical condition is one thing .His inability to act civil towards others is where he went wrong. Blame the school systems, teachers , coaches and yes all those who looked the other way when these instances occurred. Why…because he was an elite football/ wrestler.
Wait for what? We all know he was an ass at 18. He’s 23-24 now. I’m pretty sure most of us regret some part of our behavior at 18.
He went to Bama (2019) then Colorado (2020) but did not play due to seizures. Not sure what happened in Kansas but he never played -
Assuming it was still health related. Finally popped up at Lackawanna this year and he’s shown enough to be one of the most sought after JUCOs. Life has a way of humbling you.
No stupid … he quit Bama… didn’t go to class… went to Colorado… the claim is he had seizures. Did he have medical seizures at Rahway- then Colonia… that never was mentioned as a reason for his attitude towards fellow teammates. Stop the nonsense … it was more than just a medical problem. He was not accountable for his actions. He’s had many chances … more than what a less athletic prodigy would get in life. Hope he’s good now and enjoys a great career but something just tells me it will be a tough road .
I don’t …..not one iota and most who I went to high school , college and military time don’t .Different times …. Much different thinking and respect for others. Were we perfect no but we knew well and good that certain things would be frowned upon.
You claimed he played… actually played live games…,don’t remember that. So again where and against whom did he play. His alleged medical issues came about 2 years post high school maybe more like 3. I would be very surprised if he came here on ship but that’s Schiano’s decision.
It also sounded that you did not know about his personality issues with others. As said here Alfano was a great physical, talented athlete but lacking in common civil deportment towards others in his life. Has he changed? Time will tell.
When we recruited him when he was in high school he had no interest in coming here. Now that he's looking for he's 3rd/4th school??? Rutgers looks good to him. 🤣🤣🤣 I'll pass on this oneSeems dumb that we're not going to take him according to this article. Former five start recruit.
He's worth the risks.
Now at the JUCO level, former five-star recruit Antonio Alfano is looking to the big time once again

I mean he’s going to LSU….if he’s good enough for them , he’s sure the hell good enough for us. Did you watch the Maryland game ??
He totally was worth the risk . You even basically said our defense was finished by the Maryland game.
Yeah, yeah I remember the same comments about Duce Chestnut going turn out?
Kid got roasted repeatedly and then booted from the team when he lost playing time. Sometimes your best move is not making one.
Chestnut went to Syracuse right ?
Big difference with Brian Kelly and LSU. Kelly knows what he’s doing
we made the right move not going after this kid .
Chestnut transferred from Syracuse to LSU then got booted off by Kelly.
LSU has the depth on his roster to get rid of a locker room cancer. RU does not have that luxury and those types go against the program’s culture.
You just want to chase rankings with no consideration of how it impacts the program.
This program values character as much as football ability. Does that set our ceiling at 6, or 7, and occasionally 8 wins? Probably. And, this fan is fine with that.
