Davis not signed...

I'm not really sure how much more clear Richie could be on Davis signing with Rutgers. People need to stop freaking out.
I just don’t understand how TOS’s team sites, including ours are adamantly saying Rutgers is having an NIL crisis and is worried they’re going to lose Ace, and over here we’re getting future casts for Harper. Just seems strange to me….
Bottom line is expect the unexpected and anything can happen. I no longer believe when someone says a player is definitely signing etc, just the way it is now with NIL .

Didn’t those guys also say Cliff would leave to play in Europe too?

One board does a much better job confirming details before they post and it’s not TOS. Additionally if the money wasn’t there for Ace do you think he’d be committed still?

I hope you're right.
This site still lists him as a "verbal".

It's curious because Richie keeps saying (correctly it seems) that Davis was signed and official. But there was never any official acknowledgment by Rutgers or update on this site (perhaps because Rutgers told him not to update it? No idea).

And there was the repeated excuses of "want to announce together with Ndongo" and "getting family together for an official announcement".

Now it's just a mention by Pike in an interview as a inferred confirmation.
 
I'm surprised that it still hasn't been made public yet... Rutgers is required to submit the signed NLI to the B1G Conference office within 14 days of the signing, or the signing becomes invalid.. I guess it's not public info with the B1G either..

I dunno, maybe we're so used to guys making a big spectacle out of these things that it seems strange when someone is understated about it. Either that or he has a HUGE family to bring together.
 
This thread should be deleted or at the very least the thread name should be changed.
it's a bad thread with the OP implying bad things happening
But good things are hardly noticed by bad and rarely mentioned
So name change should be this thread name.
Bad thinking bad
 
Maybe there's a Peppermint Patty shortage in his area and he's scheming a backup plan, but he knows Goobers just ain't the same.

Hasn’t he already moved in on campus?
Listen to the podcast, Richie says he'll be on campus soon. Apparently there was a mix up on the move in date as Gavin Griffiths arrived this weekend. But when Davis comes, he's going to have a special guest with him for an undetermined amount of time.

A public announcement/ceremony has nothing to do with submitting the paperwork to the league for compliance purposes. Richie has said multiple times on the podcasts that the paperwork is in.
 
Still gathering up his family for an announcement

"Waiting to gather his family together" is definitely going to be a long running bit. Similar to "heard it at Subway".

Why hasn't HC Schiano announced a starting QB yet?
Waiting for the kid to get his family together to announce it.

Gathering the family is all part of the process. When he gets here, he will be in the mix.
 
Jfc….the head coach on the interview with Jerry recco acknowledged him on the team …and I think he knows he can’t talk about him
Until the LOI

Chill out already people !!!
Educate them.

Too bad some people rather promote their lack of understanding the rules even after others have schooled them on it.

They’re arriving by stagecoach apparently ;)

The fact that pike mentioned him in the podcast puts it to rest for me. Even though the comments by those-in-the-know already had me 99% sure ;)

Maybe the whole family is moving to NJ with him. 🤷‍♂️
 
So Dellquan decommitted because he didn't think he'd have the ball enough, but then even-higher-ranked players are going to want to come here to play with Ace (and maybe Dylan)? That doesn't make logical sense.
Sure it does. The makeup of kids is different. Some kids embrace challenges and competition and some avoid it.

Did he say if his family ever made it? Some of us have a vested interest in The Odessey 2.0

It's funny because the recruiting pitch (like many other Tier 2 schools) was always "don't go to Alabama/OSU or Kentucky/Duke. They will just recruit over you and you'll ride the bench. Come here and be a focal point."

But now we're approaching the "we will recruit over you" tier (at least in basketball).
 
I love this place

Understood, but I wasn't sure if it was discoverable information or not once the B1G conference had the signed letter of intent on file.
