I thought people here were convinced GS was bringing him along as a secret recruit?
Not if they don’t have the support , just ask Rich Rod what happened to him at Michigan lol , not much of a Michigan man was he
Turns out the secret recruit was the OSU transfer. Not too shabby.
Yeah, glad to have the Rose Bowl defensive MVP. If true, Jalen would have been a great get but we have a ton of depth at running back. Will not be the end of the world if he goes elsewhere.
So sick of the jersey to Wisky thing for running backs.
I mean if we had a line like Wisconsin Pacheco would easily be a 1000 yard runner if not more.
Of course. But the guy who built the lines for Rice, Jamison, and the others is now back as the coach and working on it. Plus wasn't there all this wanting to be close to home stuff?
I get it but we've got to make it stop.
I think getting 4 star lineman is way more important than running backs. We always seem to get very good RBs.
So that's it, then. Apparently Mr. Berger is not All In.
Let us speak of him no more.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? GS needs to hire an OC and double team him.
You do realize In the NFL Nick Saban is known for bailing on his Miami team without so much as a word after failing to win there right?
Doesn't mean squat. He was still an NFL HC.
People who choose to see only the negative are never disappointed. But they are perpetually disappointing to everyone else.
Why are you so negative. By the way, I love MLax and we post back and forth during the spring.
But seriously, why??
I agree that even if he chooses Wisconsin at the game, it's definitely not over. We don't even know who our OC is yet. There are some who are saying he still might choose us at the game. We'll see.
Getting Berger would have been a public relations coup but far from a guaranteed home run. I'm always wary of rb's who post great stats at big time programs. Is it because they get to run through giant holes or because they happen to be really good? Those giant holes get a lot smaller in the Big Ten. Its all about vision and cutting ability at this level. Not saying he doesn't have it but Huggins was no Ray Rice despite being ranked way higher.
And Mason Robinson, Kordell Young and The Rocket Williams never lived up to their stars either. Meanwhile Pacheco may be better than Berger will ever be. So hard to tell with rb's until you see them in real games. Who knew Paul James would be so good?

Monangai is the better running back, but Berger is by far the better athlete. That's what I've heard. Gotta admit I've never seen either of them play.
I don't wish ill on him if he goes elsewhere but I won't wish him good luck if he is playing for our competition, either. I saw the Wisconsin coached interviewed on BTN the other day and Mason asked about the NJ RB history for the Badgers. Response was, yeah, if we can't fill the position in state, our top choice is to get guys from NJ. That ticked me off. Greg's got to get chopping and cut off that pipeline ASAP.
It’s not negative. It’s a fact. People here were claiming he was a secret recruit before Schiano was hired. Seemed like quite a few actually. I’m just wondering what happened.
Ah, the life of a Rutgers fan. Lose out on the 4-star RB who many thought was a silent commit and switch to looking forward to a visit from a 2-star DE with one other P5 offer who is the proverbial project.
You forgot the other half that just like to bitch and complaint.
To be fair, if a 2 star project at DE turns into a solid contributor on our defensive line that offers more incremental improvement to this team than getting Berger when we already have Pacheco, Adams and Young.
And then you have Joe Martinek. People forget how highly ranked he was in HS. Gatorade player of the year who had a pretty good career at RU
One of our most underrated players ever. BTW- very few people realize just how fast Joe was.
I also think Young would have had a hell of a career if he was healthy
Very good athlete overall. Likely would have made a good decathalete he ran a 4.4, HJ at 6’8” javelin over 200 feet and LJ at 21’8”
Any chance Gleason (if finalized) gives Berger second thoughts and puts us back in it?
