Does Rutgers stand a chance with 4-star qb Gavin Wimsatt ?

[Kbee3]

Owensboro, Kentucky prospect ?

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Us, Cincy or Kentucky—family just came to Piscataway on their own dime. If he didn’t like what Schiano had to say, I don’t see a family coming all the way from the western part of Kentucky and spending all that money.

Is it a recruiting violation if a family comes on their own dime? I'm sure GS knows this and wouldn't do anything to violate recruiting rules. But I don't know it and am curious.

Thanks.

No. That's just a campus visit. Its unofficial.

Assuming we are taking only one qb in the class, who else is Gavin competing with for the spot ?

A 5.9 four star that is the #1 player in KY and #3 dual threat QB nationally?

I wouldn’t think he is competing for a spot with anyone, you take him no matter the situation is.

 

[RUTGERZ_R00LZ]

I'm ALL IN on Wimsatt!

 

[Beancounter88]

Any scuttlebutt from his visit?

 

[bowlgoal]

The analysts all seem to have him going to Kentucky. That was after his visit so who knows? I’m not happy about it

 

[anon_yoo6z3typpaw2]

Seems like we've got as good a chance as anyone. I'm confident

Wait....he's the #3 dual threat QB nationally and all we have to beat out is Kentucky ?

Growing up in Kentucky you could care less about the B1G 10. My daughter graduated from UK a few years ago and the upgrades in their football facilities have been tremendous.
If we can get a Kentucky kid over UK we really are on our way.

He's got offers from Oregon, Mississippi, Michigan and Michigan State and a few other big schools as well, but I guess the dialogue is that Rutgers is doing surprisingly well with him but he is predicted to wind up picking his home state school.

 

[Kbee3]

Do we have a back-up plan if he stays home ?

My personal top choices:

1. Braden Davis
2. Wimsatt
3. Tayven jackson
4. Steve Angeli (I know ND commit)
5. Devin Kargman
6. Donovan Leary
7. Henry Belin

Cincinnati is also in the picture. Wimsatt can probably throw a pass from Cincy into Kentucky. I am not worrying. Schiano is recruiting the whole country now for Rutgers and unlike Ash we aren’t going after players who had offers from Maine, Temple, and Bowling Green.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

This is the kid from New Jersey who moved with his family to Florida—

 

[Beancounter88]

Fickell has done a great job at Cincy, but I would think a top recruit would wonder how long will he be there. Pro or big college job will be calling soon.

Recruits are still allowed to do self guided tours of colleges they are interested in. So while he was on campus as long as there was no direct contact with members of the football staff all is good.

We get him.GREAT. WE don't get him. GREG'S REBUILD STILL GOES ON FOR RU FB.

How many on that list have we offered ?

All of them. Check the link from the post.

Moonlite BBQ in Owensboro is quite good. I stopped by there a couple of years ago on a road trip through OH-KY-WV.

 

[Kbee3]

Rutgers chances of getting this guy are looking pretty good.

 

[colbert17]

Some chatter on the UK board says Wimsatt is coming to RU.

 

[colbert17]

FYI

Wimsatt to Rutgers???

Wiltfong just logged a crystal ball pick for Rutgers. I’m in total disbelief right now. Not only would that be a massive miss but we are running out of options for a legit QB in this class.

Stop it. Can’t handle all the excitement

 

[Plum Street]

This would be great

 

[jtung230]

QB is next level stuff. Difference of being able to play for B1G title vs being competitive.

 

[RUchip]

Kentucky is the team to beat

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Yee !!! Yee !!!

Maranda is warming up—

Here is an article that goes into quite a lot of detail about him—

The Owensboro quarterback is the highest-ranked passer from Kentucky in almost 25 years can make every kind of throw.

Wow ... some talent. I hope he commits to RU.
Despite horrible snaps from the Center on almost every play Gavin has poise and makes the perfect pass.

So let it be written, So let it be done! Getting Wimsatt coupled with this class so far, would put us on the National stage. If it goes well, you can't buy that kind of good press.

 

[urbanecane]

Family can attend games in Bloomington and Champaign.

I hope he doesn’t decide to announce at the UA game. That’s never gone well for us

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Agree - I usually thought qbs try to commit early to help recruit other skill players?

 

[patk89]

RU is a very good opportunity right now for this guy. Top notch OC. Didn't bring in a QB in our last 2 classes (other than transfers). Pulling in some top WRs and OLs. B1G. NYC market. Any awful lot to sell. Momentum in our favor. I like our chances.
