Ash reminds me of Dick Anderson in terms of personality and Terry Shea in terms of recruiting capabilities. Let’s that cross sink in Rutgers fans!
Here are our peers in recruiting- Hard Data
- Thread starter TheHandOfChaos
- Start date
I would ageee with that. The hill is just way to high to climb. Winning our division will take continued building at every level. Frankly, I’m not sure the administration has the stomach for it. A solid program that goes to bowls is probably our Everest for the foreseeable future. Anything else is not realistic.
Basketball and Olympic sports is where we can compete at the highest levels.
Wouldn't it be likely that based on territory alone, Temple would offer many of our recruits?
How many who have Temple offers also have a P5 offer?

I have tried to see the brighter side in basketball since 1992.
All I ask for is to be a part of selection Sunday.
27 years and counting and basketball is in better shape than football despite the fact we are still picked to finish last in the conference.
Optimistic Rutgers fan is an oxymoron.

Bob Mulcahy was hired to build a FB program at Rutgers. He accomplished that.
Without the stadium expansion and some level of FB success we would not be in the B1G today.
Joe Quinlan ran most of the other sports for RU during Bobs tenure as AD.
Recruit the offseason hard, you mean. #FaithWithoutResults
Buffalo's near the top of the list, and now they can tell recruits that they blew us out.
Anyone have a list of the commit list changes for 2019, (since before early signing day) i think this offer list is even worse now with some of those who didnt make it yet like wise, ugwu
Not sure this has any real meaning for current class. Like with all data you need context else it’s just spin. That’s the problem in America today. 98% of folks can’t think context so essentially they are clueless. Anyhow not disputing the numbers, but it’s meaningless unless you see factors such whether we were first to offer, where other schools are on their offers and the commitability of those offers. For example, Penn St right now is focusing their offered on elite 4-5 star talent. We can’t because we won’t be taken seriously. We are building relationships with next tier. These will be kids Penn St will go after next if their elite targets don't pan out. Without the early relationships Rutgers doesn’t have a chance and this board turns to whining about “why didn’t we offer.”
IIRC, when Ash was hired, he said that Urban's philosophy was to only recruit players that he felt were projected to be NFL players (he might have said first round picks, not really sure). Must be a kick in the balls to be recruiting at this level.
Your conclusion appears to be that our recruits stink, they don't get offers from P5 schools. So making a list of schools that offer these kids actually just adds a layer of complexity.
The stars ratings could show our recruits stink compared to BigTen schools.. the number of recruits with ZERO other P5 offers could show it.. the ratio of recruits with P5 offers to those we take with zero P5 offers could show it. But you should also add a control of showing that same data for a peer Big Ten school (aka not Ohio State, etc, though even they might announce a recruit without another P5 offer... ).
But listing every school that a non-P5 level recruit gets? That doesn't add value... it just abstracts things more.
We didnt offer anybody with an Ohio State or Michigan offer? Doesnt sound correct
The op was the listing of the other offers our commits had before early signing day. I was wondering what the updated list would be for the actual players who will be joining the team this season, sans the transfers
No need to worry. @Knight Shift points out that the worst collection of talent in the P5 can be turned around relatively quickly with the right hire after Ash is canned. Top level guy, maybe an up and coming coaching genius. And Hobbs shouldn't have too much of a problem convincing this type of guy to grab this golden opportunity.
History suggests that this is a likely scenario at RU.
