Pretty funny. You do standup?Who cares, I'll take any player from Florida over these drama queen jersey guys. He will be a bust for them anyways, can't wait for our Dline to plow over him and smack him around when he comes back to Jersey

No need to call him a "Dog". Pedophile Supporter, maybe, but not a dog. :)
As an aside, I know someone who works in his school, and was told that a lot of his classmates are going to Rutgers. I hope that he gets "showered" with Pedd State mockery throughout his last year in HS, it will be well earned.
Hmmmm. Maybe...JUST MAYBE.....there's a reason for that. I mean, just maybe.What a shock...another Top 10 NJ recruit to State Penn in Crappy Valley.
Well said.Who cares, I'll take any player from Florida over these drama queen jersey guys. He will be a bust for them anyways, can't wait for our Dline to plow over him and smack him around when he comes back to Jersey
Pretty funny. You do standup?
Franklin had top 25 classes at Vandy his last 2 years there.For those who purport Franklin to be some sort of "ace recruiter", can you explain his abysmal recruiting classes at Vandy (by number of stars)?
Could it be that his ability to pull in some nice recruits is more of a nod to PSU's strength as a program and brand as opposed to Franklin's supposed recruiting prowess..?
Exactly, at a school that couldn't attract flies before he got there.Franklin had top 25 classes at Vandy his last 2 years there.

From a bunch of 2-3 stars to majority three with some 4s sprinkled in. Hmm...
By that standard, Greg Schiano was an "ace recruiter" as well.
Except we all know he wasn't.
My point is that PSU is simply an easier sell than Rutgers. Not saying it's necessarily "better"; just an easier sell.

I think it was CranfordKnight that posted a while ago that he had heard from people close to the high school program that Fries' dad didn't want him going to RU. Then there was a post from someone claiming to be Fries' dad disputing that. Perhaps CranfordKnight had it right. Not ready to pile on Flood, but he has to start reeling in top NJ players. Of course I'll take a 4star from any state-but NJ is our home turf and we need to be winning more recruiting battles here.
We'll just have to wait till Penn State fans aren't satisfied with fourth place behind Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State. After 2 to 3 more years, Franklin will be gone. Rutgers fans just have to accept 5th or 6th place unless we change our recruiting. Even superior coaching can not overcome the difference in talent.
James Franklin is a fraud and a liar.
We're about a generation away from Rutgers being a destination school for these kids. I think it really is as simple as that in these upper middle class towns in NJ.
It's not recruiting. NJ kids want to go out of state.
Not really. I think everyone knows exactly what Flood is.It looks to me like he is backing up what he says. Flood is the fraud.
Recruiting in-state/local talent has two main benefits as I see it...
- Leveraging brand recognition. With the exception of very few programs such as ND, USC, and 'Bama, most schools rely on their brand to attract some of the best "local" recruits in perpetuity. Neither Rutgers nor PSU has the national brand luxury like the top tiers do. I know this next statement is relatively subjective, but I think that PSU has better brand recognition than RU in our shared recruiting "territories" which I think gives PSU an edge in this regard. This can all change in a very short period of time if RU starts beating PSU more often than not.
At least that's the way I see it in terms of the importance of recruiting the local talent. I know, I know...one man's opinion...
I disagree when it comes to FB recruiting. GS showed you can keep heavily recruited top NJ talent home. It's Flood, full stop. There are coaches out there (if we can afford them some day) who will be able to once again get top talent (NJ and others) to come to RU, especially now that we're in the B1G. Flood isn't one of them and how the cool-aid drinkers on the board can defend him as a quality recruiter is absolutely beyond me.
Sure but he did it more consistently than Flood is. And he certainly did it for two consecutive years before he left. One can imagine that he would have been even better at it with the Big Ten on his side.Yes but GS did not do it as consistently and in key positions, namely QB and OL. Got AD in 2007 (which I still can't believe) and then had solid 2011 class (on paper only) and a great 2012 before he headed out the door. But it's not like he pulled 2-3 AD's every year for 3 or 4 years in a row. As for QB, I know Teddy Bridgewater was out of state but Florida was supposed to be a place Greg had traction in and we lost out to brand newbie head coach Charlie Strong for Bridgewater. Think about where our program could be right now if TB was our QB for years as opposed to Nova (all due respect to Gary and his family). So while Flood's recruiting leaves a lot to be desired, let's not make GS out to be the messiah of college football recruiting.
yes it has. he wasnt just brought in for connections to paramus.Michigan hiring Paramus C HC Chris Partridge doesn't seem to have paid off yet. Of course that could change should Gary winds up there.
no. michigan is in on a bunch of top ol and they should start comitting in the next couple months. fries never really hit it of with the michigan coaches and like i said michigan is going after a few bigtime guys so they really werent concerned.I think he will flip to Michigan.
6-6 is not a given anymore. Look at Cuse, Pitt, and BC. They are happy with 6-6 after what they went thru.Man I cringe at the thought of Kyle Flood still coaching this team 3-4 years from now. We're looking at back to back, 6-6 seasons coming up. He should be gon after that
Shocked, I say shocked, that a top tier recruit would pass on RU. 2016 will be the year Flood shows he can attract NJ's top talent. What, these are 2016 guys? I could have sworn all the sunshine pumpers were hanging their hats on the 2016's. That's right, stars are over rated. We want Rutgers men. All the coaches eating Floods lunch are snakes, slimy and liars. Every top tier recruit that Flood whiffs on ends up at a place where the Rutgers values are not exemplified. It's not Floods fault. It's not Floods fault. It's not Floods fault.
