These are young men looking out for what is best for them. No rules were broken. Coach Ash has to MAKE this a destination that kids commit to and not renege on. This happens at every school. I wish Mr. Taylor well as long as it is not against RU.
Jonathan Taylor decomits
- Thread starter MrsScrew
- Start date
Then it's my mistake thinking you were talking about Taylor, sorry about that.
But agree Lovett shouldn't be based, even if he decommits, and feel the same about Taylor even though he decommitted .
Well, so much for his supposed interest in taking visits to VT and Yale, and for Rutgers still being in the "mix".
It's his choice as far as what school he attends, of course, but he was undoubtedly the least solid commit we had from the get go.
Hey, it is what it is...and we move on.

I have no up-to-date information, even anecdotal. But I'd say this - I used to live in Long Valley and Denville in the 80s, and saw TONS of Penn State stickers out in Long Valley, Budd Lake, Lake Hopatcong, Hackettstown (yes, I know that's Warren). Now I work in the city but married a girl who lived in Morristown and used to go to East Hanover and Florham Park for years, and saw far, far more block Rs in the eastern part of the county over the past decade.
Always sucks losing a recruit. No doubt about it.
Though, when I first read the title of this thread the other week, I almost soiled myself.
Thought it read "Johnathan Lewis decommits".....
Phewww disaster averted.
No offense to Taylor, but quarterback is the biggie and running backs well...we'll be able to find someone to replace Taylor.

I never said it existed then. What I was painstaking clear in saying was that I saw more Penn State stickers in the 80s. I was also clear in stating that I saw more Block Rs in the Eastern part of the county over the past decade (which is when it came into existence). No part of what I said is even remotely inaccurate.
Rutgers existed in the 80s, as did Rutgers bumper stickers, and flags, and jerseys, and merchandise. At least anecdotally, the folks I saw in Long Valley and Budd Lake and Flanders and Hackettstown just did not rock them. But since I'm rarely there now, I have no idea if that has changed. I can say, however, that I see a significant Rutgers presence in the areas that I do frequent, which are mainly limited to Florham Park, East Hanover and Morristown.
