Let's start here. Rutgers only brought in 7 transfers this past offseason.
Big Ten programs that we consider to be our peers, or on the same level as us:
Indiana (7-0) -- 30+ transfers
Michigan State (4-3) -- 24 transfers
Illinois (6-1)-- 15 transfers
Former Big East/American programs that we consider to be our peers, or on the same level as us:
Syracuse (5-1)--17 transfers
Cincinnati (5-2)-- 26 transfers
Pitt (6-0)--13 transfers
Boston College (4-3) -- 15 transfers
Louisville (4-3)-- 24 transfers
Syracuse (6-1)--17 transfers
Greg and this program are not adjusting with the times in this new age of college football.
We have an AMAZING opportunity being the only P5 program in NJ/NYC/PHILLY area. Do you know how many FBS players are probably looking at an opportunity to come back home and play? Or how many kids that are standouts at a G5 school and would jump at the chance to play in the Big Ten? Adding only seven transfers in this age of college football is unacceptable. The developmental program approach is not working.
