Jamal Holloway

[AntiG]

haven't heard anything about him lately, he decommitted from Syracuse. Anyone heard about progress with him?

 

[StyleKnight]

He needs to get a better SAT score to qualify.

 

[NYCFootballFan]

He decommitted when the coaching staff pulled their offer due to academics.

 

[SHUSource]

Last I heard, he was looking at places like Maine and Tennessee Tech.

 

[yesrutgers01]

wouldn't Maine also require acceptable SAT scores?

 

[RUinsane]

wouldn't Maine also require acceptable SAT scores?

Yes

 

[SHUSource]

Yes

That's just the latest I knew ... maybe a school like Maine is more willing to roll the dice to get a player of his level if it works out.

For athletics, Rutgers accepts the minimum NCAA requirements. If he doesn't meet our requirements, he doesn't meet any. On the other hand, if he is at minimum, we still may not accept him if the coaches didn't feel he would apply himself,?then a school like Maine could still be in place.

When has Rutgers ever had any success at recruiting kids from Camden ?
I can't recall any

he alledgedly has another chance to make sat/act score. RU coaches visited him on Jan 20th..so RU must think he has a shot to qualify..

hope he can. his video footage is crazy good. good hands shedding blocks, terrific acceleration to the QB. maybe its the level of competition, but he looks like JPP/Aldon Smith in there.

 

[NYCFootballFan]

If Cuse wouldnt take him he will never get into a college, they might be the worst school in the NE academically

Apparently Holloway's scheduled SAT re-test was cancelled due to a snowstorm...DOH.

So.... schools are apparently going to have to wait until he re-takes the SAT and his scores get reported.

If Jamal Holloway gets a good enough SAT score, I hear that Michigan State might be interested in him, because of the incident involving MSU's 2016 WDE commit Auston Robertson.

Ouch.... Auston Robertson was the 2nd highest ranked commit in the Spartans 2016 class, and this happens:

Strange story. The incident of Auston Robertson allegedly improperly touching a female classmate while at school occurred Oct. 22, yet he wasn't arrested until Jan 13th. Hmmm.... why the delay?.... seems fishy.

Then..... he wasn't bailed out of jail until Jan 18th.... wow, five days before being bailed out... yikes! He must come from a poor family. Anyway..... Monday, Jan 18th was MLK holiday, so it turns out Robertson only missed a couple days of school.

Auston Robertson's hearing before the judge in Indiana is Feb 11.... so.... I imagine Dantonio will be waiting for the hearing results. Coaches cannot comment on unsigned recruits, but check out this passage from the article linked above:

MSU can’t comment on unsigned recruits, so Mark Dantonio did not discuss the Robertson situation at Wednesday’s news conference to introduce his 2016 class. But when asked in general about the possibility of the class growing by “one more based on guys who have committed and not signed yet,” Dantonio responded: “You know, there’s always that possibility.”


So... we'll have to see what MSU does depending on the outcome of Auston Robertson's Feb 11 hearing, and the scores of Jamal Holloway's SAT.

You forgot a very good LB from Camden named Wesley Robertson who played at RU during Shea's final years .

Wes Robertson was not recruited from Camden by RU, Wes went to Benedict College in South Carolina, he then transferred to RU & walked on the team, very raw but extremely physical player & sadly was the strongest player on the team the day that he walked on, supposedly bench pressed 225lbs 29 times the first day of practice.

 

[jakeknight]

Don't know about now but recruiting Camden was a real adventure that took considerable "resources"
