***CJ Onyechi commits to Rutgers***
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Last week there was an article about how Ash's new recruiting strategy is to focus on building relationships with HS coaches, I think it's safe to say that new strategy applies to parents as well, win over the parents and you're halfway home.
Looks like we've added another "dumb jock" to go with Bowles.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I believe the color is spelled sienna and the college Siena, but I could be wrong. They do sound alike tho'.
At the risk of looking really stupid and naive, are these RU coachs' responses for real? If so, I've never seen a staff having so much fun and be so pumped up. Pretty damn cool IMO.
A player with Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Cornell offers is a player I want on this team, stars and ratings be damned. The staff wanted him and some of the most elite academic institutions in the world wanted him. That's enough for me
Two things you need to see int his video...
1) open field tackles.
2)sheading blocks.
NJ Varsity has him at #14 in the state, 247 has him at# 26... I believe Rivals will have him middle of the road 3 star when they rate him, which is solid.
brodo made them up, he does it for every commit.
Ummm...these are real tweets. They link back to each coach's Twitter account. Looks like this staff has mastered the animated GIF.

Nailed it. This guy really has a nose for the ball. I know it's a highlight video but WOW. Let's see it translate at RU!!
Looks to be very strong and quick with the ability to read plays and ward off blockers.
No offense to Rutgers Football (and academics) but if my child has offers from these institutions I would definitely push them elsewhere. Wouldn't you?
From my very small sample the answer is NO. I had a daughter graduate from an Ivy and one from a state school.
Both are doing well professionally, however, the alum from the state school is doing exceptionally well and may even be a little happier. There is much more one learns in college than what is taught in the classrooms. The one from the Ivy was much more sheltered and not as prepared to deal with real world situations.
In my professional career some of the worst hires I made were from top Business Schools.
I was "forced" to go to Rutgers due to financial reasons. I had really wanted to go to Lehigh, but looking back, there were a lot of aspects about life at Rutgers that made me better prepared for the working world and provided a more rewarding experience than I would have had a smaller school. Dealing with the bureaucracy, navigating among the campuses, and settling in the Department of Ceramic Engineering, which had some of the world's leading researchers in their fields are just a few aspects that I would not have experienced at Lehigh. We were provided credit and paid opportunities to work in the labs on cutting edge research. Also, in something that was unique to Rutgers, which no longer exists, I joined the student-run Rutgers Volunteer Fire Department, where we worked side-by-side with paid firefighters in providing emergency response to the Busch and Livingston campuses.
In my professional career, some of the most uninspiring people I worked with went to school at "top" universities. They were either difficult to work with or just not particularly motivated or good at their jobs.
