UConn commit. Possible flip from what I hear. Keep an eye on him.

Did UConn have anyone already there playing for them that we would want? I read somewhere that as of today they have 16 players in the portal.

18, 19, who's counting (except Thamel). Thank goodness we have this guy now!
No connection. His Dad played at UConn so this will be a tough pull. However, RU is definitely trying.
This may be true however, info is he is in play even though dads connection. Like this is a real situation.
There's a non-zero chance that UConn won't even be an FBS school by the time he'd be graduating.
As an independent, UConn football essentially has nothing to play for, so it is not surprising to see so many players wanting to bail. No conference championship and probably very few significant home games to excite the fan base, or what remains of it. The future most likely holds lots of drubbings on the road in "paycheck" games, just like Temple endured during its brief status as a football independent.
Unlike most here, I feel for UConn and their fans. This could have been us, had it not been for Tim Pernetti, whom most here loved but now revile simply because he did what was recommended to him by the university's attorneys. But I doubt that RU would have pulled out of the AAC to return to the non-football BE. I sincerely doubt that doing so will return UConn bball to the glory days of the past. There is less pizzazz in playing Xavier, Butler, and Creighton than there was in playing Syracuse, BC, Pitt, WVU, and Louisville.

I’ve been on several RU road trips and UConn fans were more obnoxious than even philly fans and that’s saying something.
Lol exactly. We had a holes trying to push him down our throats . Shameful , uneducated assholes.
Let it go already. No reason to go through life bitter and holding grudges. My friendly advice to you.
I’m far from bitter , happy as heck with Schiano. I’m still laughing at you and all those that fought against bringing him here. LoL. I’m loving and laughing every day.
1) **** UConn.
2) Yeoman's work by Uncle Bob, Gary and Tim P to get us in the B1G.

If you want to let it go head over to the Boneyard forum and read the multi page thread on how Rutgers sucks Schiano (Shady) will fail or leave in two years and the B1G will eventually kick us out. That should remind you how insufferable they are. uconn fans can go **** themselves and their FCS level program
A sentence can't have enough negatives when talking about a commitment to UConn.
He is a Legacy at UConn as Dad played there. Going independent (dropped AAC so basketball goes back to Big East) hurt them worse than they thought. We will see how it affects this kid. Not sure he does anything unless we start to push him
I fought against nothing. Get your facts stright. You are a bitter jerkoff and on ignore now.
I disagree. While it pales in comparison with the B1G payout, the AAC signed a deal that will pay each school $7 million per year. The reason UConn is going independent is because they are going to invest in their basketball programs because that is their preferred sport. The B1G allows RU to finance a football program in addition to the other athletic programs, whereas if RU was still in the AAC it would feed football and starve everyone else.
Glad to see they still hate us. Maybe we should sign them up to come in for a few paycheck games to help them finance their basketball team by sacrificing their football team.
He paid an official visit to Rutgers in April, he is from NJ, Ash offered him a chance to play in the B1G and yet he decided to go to UConn.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, it boggIes the mind as to just how bad a recruiter Ash was.

Even though his father played at UCONN, you have to assume that he would want his son to play somewhere that would be a positive. UCONN is a real mess. Many think they will end up dropping down to a lower division or out of football all together.
The number of players entering the portal is astounding and a serious problem for them.

I am a Rutgers fan, so I am not going to make the argument, but maybe hold off on the laughing at people until we actually, you know, win a football game. What we are seeing is competence. Which is great, and something we have not had in a long time. But it is a long, long way from here to the Rose Bowl.
As far as visiting places, Syracuse was right up there with them. Philly fans were the worst visiting RU. We had an in stadium altercation and Scarlet lot altercations with different groups of Temple fans. Most visiting fans are not looking to start fights.
We have a conference title, too. They were co-BE Champs in 2007 and 2010, and we were co-BE Champs in 2012.
We've both have had real struggles on the field in recent years.... but the revenue disparity is absolutely massive, which makes it that much harder for UConn to climb back out of the hole (especially as an independent).
Don’t know about their basketball fans, but UConn football fans are the worst college football fans I have ever been around.
Complete scum. The way we were treated up there, twice, was simply disgusting and unparalleled I’m my long history of college football road games.
