I saw this...would be great player to land,RU problem has allways been the restriction of transfer credits for some majors.

It is virtually impossible to get an individual admitted to RU from ASA. Awful academic institution.

2 things...if we offer.

1. He was a full qualifier out of HS so he is only there 1 year. More likely to be admitted? I'd guess yes.

2. Fewer credits lost if he does come to RU now than staying 2? Will that make a difference...maybe? (Based on history of RU not taking some JUCO credits) I would venture hearing most of the credits from the previous 2 years is more disheartening than just 1.

My problem with a video like that is that it seems to only show him matched up against kids smaller than him. Mostly much smaller. So it's not really possible to get any sense of how he would perform against a physically evenly matched player.

If I'm an RU coach evaluating talent, I'd try to find a couple games in which the kid would face players that are larger than him (if possible) to see how he does. Because that's the world he will be in playing w/RU against the rest of the Big Ten.

He did apparently do well at a Rutgers camp back in 2012. But this staff wasn't there.

Heard that if he got an RU offer when Flood was recruiting him, he was coming. He loved the school that much. But it never got to that point before Flood was canned and Ash just worked on keeping the current class together while trying to get some last second flips.

I hope he comes to the banks now. Seems like a really hard worker, someone who can grind it out in tough games.
