Campanille Hired at BC
- Thread starter mikemarc1
- Start date
Ash's breaking good RU Jersey ties despite his lacking any of his own or bringing any new ones in is a very difficult thing to understand.
Meh. Dont care.
Tired of being told about the "NJ hs ties". He had been with the program for 4 seasons. It didn't help.
Time to move on....

The former staff was so successful both on the field and at recruiting. I can understand why you're sorry to see them go.
Anthony Campanile was here for four years - joining the Rutgers staff in the summer of 2012
In those four years, which outstanding high profile players committed to & enrolled at Rutgers specifically because of the recruiting talents of Anthony Campanile?
Campanile and Barthel remind me of sales guys who everybody says are 'really great' - they know everybody ... everybody likes them - but they don't close sales & don't hit quota.
If Ash sat down with Campanile and said "you have been here four years - tell me the names of the program improving players that you have brought into this program" ...what would he say?
Half the people on this board, if not more, mention Jersey ties just to get a reaction. Jersey ties are meaningless. Win and upgrade the Hale.
Doubt he would have asked him that..if he did, must have given a good answer...Ash tried to keep him in the recruiting department.
But it appears Camp wanted an on-field job.
In Ash I trust, though.
Here are the guys that Anthony Campanile has been recruiting this year - for some of them he had about the best inside connections you could get - - so either NJ Ties don't make any difference - or Campanile is just not as skilled at the recruiting game as he needs to be.
There are a couple that are still in play - and Ash & Okruch have been hands on .... will be interesting to see if they are able to close the deal
• Jarrett Guarantano - Bergen Catholic (Oradell, NJ)
• Jordan Fuller - N Valley Reg H Old Tappan (Westwood, NJ)
• Will Fries - Cranford Sr (Cranford, NJ)
• Kelvin Harmon - Palmyra (Palmyra, NJ)
• Donald Stewart - Paramus Catholic (Paramus, NJ)
• Hasise Dubois - De Paul Catholic (Wayne, NJ)
• Terrell Vassel - De Paul Catholic (Wayne, NJ)
• Gene Coleman - Bergen Catholic (Oradell, NJ)
Oh - 247 lists his all time 'gets' as Najee Clayton , Zach Heeman & Logan Lister
Lister transferred out ...
Heeman was not really a contested recruit
Clayton was a recovery after he had originally committed to Syracuse

No, it's not a joke. My point is most Bergen football players end up at Lafayette or Bucknell, or some other shitty school like Holy Cross. That is, Bergen is the most overrated school it's a joke. Has nothing to do with where he went to school.
I think Cured lives in a alternate universe where Campanille has had a effect on RU recruiting

Camp has had a big effect by not developing a single WR behind Carroo adequately (and I doubt Carroo's success had anything to do with Campanile)
Yeah Camp and Barthel were licking up sooooo many studs forvus I can't even remember how many. NOT.
BTW - Ash has hired a Jersey guy but obviously you know everything lol
He has been at Rutgers for 4 years.
He didnt get us bosco recruits.
None of the Bosco students now know who he is (again, 4 years here)
FACTS.
He is a former RU player and coach that got a promotion. The bashing is over the top.
I thought that was the name of the school -- Bergen Catholic of the Boston Area and someone just shortened it to BC. Who knew it was really Boston College University?
Bashing? It's constructive argument. Show me one recruit he nabbed..also, show me any ray of hope in our WR's development outside of Carroo, who I personally feel has been making the same big plays since day 1
Not a single one of us is "bashing" the guy, I appreciate all of his efforts as a student-athlete and coach, to be 100% honest. Merely stating facts to shoot down another "myth" perpetuated by this board during the Flood era.
Janarion Grant is going to have a big year on the offense and on special teams.
omg what a bunch of fools crying over a guy from a failed regime......move on already. We don't need ANYONE from the previous staff and no one was that good including this guy
You guys are tough. The dude is an RU alum and moved on after a getting essentially demoted. Just wish him luck and move on instead of being dicks. Sheesh.
Most of the "bashing" is intended for those who are hand-wringing and acting like some phenomenally productive NJ talent pipeline has just been thoughtlessly severed.
There has been moaning and groaning & gnashing of teeth because Anthony Campanile, the purported leading 'guy with connections' for the operation & maintenance of the "NJ ties" was repositioned to an exclusively recruiting role - and now has chosen to go to BC.
Realistically, the NJ pipeline has been experiencing significant occlusion and what has been desired to be flowing through that NJ pipeline has been consistently getting diverted out of the state.
So the question then becomes - exactly what is going to be lost with Campanile's departure?
Now Campanile has talents, he has desire, but at this time and in this place, he simply does not fit into the plan that Ash has for his staff of on field coaches. My guess is that Ash has some appreciation for Campanile - enough so that he was willing to keep him around rather than terminate him. Now it is time to move on with no hard feelings.
Tough to blame Campanile for failing to land the major NJ recruits he was involved with. You need the head coach to close the deal and offer an opportunity to succeed at the college level. I am confident that we will see Coach Ash do a much better job closing highly regarded NJ players.
I agree. I think Anthony would have had a better success rate with recruits if he was working with a true closer. We have yet to see if Ash can close but his personality looks the part.
The issue I have with Campanile leaving is that this looks like this deal, move to BC, was brokered by the Big 5 coaches. In what I have read Campanile gives credit to 3 of the Big 5 coaches for making this job a reality. 2 happen to be his brothers the other is one he coached with. So much for the coaches wanting to develop relationships with the new staff. When given the opportunity they arrange for the 1 relationship they have to take another job.
