Is Ashnault the greatest Rutgers athlete of all time?

Memories Phil "the thrill" Sellers, Dabney, Copeland, Jordan, James Bailey et al.. Undefeated going into the Final Four. Was real magic this team created but what happened yesterday trumped it in my mind

Ash committing to Rutgers after a legendary career at SP was the first step, gave the program some credibility that a top recruit stayed home. Then the surgeries which threatened his ever returning to top form. Yet, delivers an undefeated season, beating all the top guys & topped off by winning the title.. He's also staying home to coach

He's without doubt the face of RU athletics

I'd have NS right behind. Actually left PSU and heard so many say what a mistake that was. That he blew his shot at a title leaving and going to RU. Was laughed at as was RU's hopes of being Top 10.. Who took more incoming than Nick? Nobody! But he stood up to it all and won the title for himself & RU. What better example does anyone need?
