Reppin Ped......
I think you heard that wrong. His quote when asked "can you tell us who you knighted?"
"I don't remember. I don't remember. It was offensive linemen, defensive linemen... I don't remember. It wasn't one of the tight ends, I can tell you that. So, I'm gonna use that as motivation for Tuesday's practice."
He didn't laugh. He paused, looked like he was trying to remember, and then answered.
Starts at the 5:05 mark in the interview: https://rutgers.n.rivals.com/news/video-vince-okruch-interview
Considering he leads the Big Ten in stolen bases, I'm sure his speed is going to be awesome in the spread. We have to get our athletes in space. We have a lot of them, they just happen to be mostly running backs. Our receivers fit mostly the pro-style model, with bigger/somewhat slower guys like Agudosi and Patton. I'm really excited about this offense.
Why would I ignore you when I can just disrupt your trolling at my leisure?
That's fair, then I'll put you on ignore so your trolling and sensitivity don't disrupt my posting...seems like the appropriate thing to
Do
This is a psu troll. First strangely and coyly hiding his/her crappy valley inclinations, even when it was painfully obvious to everyone. Now seems to be hell bent on some kind of weirdo FUD campaign re: RU. Otherwise, why waste time here, cause, ya know, unrivaled and all. Either way, he/she comes off as a deranged ass.
I think he's a legit fan, just a worry-wart and very thin-skinned. When I called him out earlier he got upset and put me on Ignore... Probably just really young, like pre-teen, or someone who doesn't socialize well in the real world.
Reppin jerk is such a tool - lied in his first 3 post- he calls other people trolls that knock PSU on a Rutgers board
I'm sure he has a few people chained up in his basement

Wait. What's wrong with having people chained up in your basement? Or are you telling me two at any given time is the upper limit on that sort of thing?
As a posu Troll here is the reply,Saquon Barkley where is his redshirt? Go home Reppin_ass there is an empty shower stall for you, the boys are lining up 4U
Not in the lease bit. Maybe there are certain things that Hicks and Martin simply haven't accomplished this spring, as of today, that the coaches want them to accomplish before being Knighted. No big deal whatsoever and certainly nothing "fishy" about it IMHO.
I'm cool with the whole black tape and being knighted thing, I'm sure the players enjoy it and have rallied around it, just smells like a gimmick to me used to motivate players rather than a true indication of being "game ready" when a true frosh gets "knighted" before two established veterans, you mean to honestly tell me neither hicks not Martin are "game ready"?
Oh, glad you're cool with it Reppin jerk @ff. Pretty keen eye you have there, maybe he expects more from his upperclassmen - every think of that you choad. Serious, just go away, you poison every conversation with your lies and your PSU perversions of what is right and wrong
Man, Reppin- I already know you are a troll but man, you really take over a thread when you want too.
Neither Martin or Hicks are going to redshirt, unless there is an injury of some sort. Let's not be totally FB ignorant. And when it comes to RB- you never worry about a redshirt...if he is ready to play, you play him somewhere. Even if he only gets 10 carries during the year. And because of what you stated about the NFL and the use of RB's, it is even more reason to come out early. You know longer have an Emmitt Smith or these RB's that are going to go for 10+ years. Once a guy hits his mid 20's he is on the very far backend of his career. They also are not going to sign long term 4-5 mil per contracts so they best get started on their career as early as possible.
As for the knighted debate- it can only be a good thing. The way I see it...A player wants to be the first in his position group to get this honor. Then that players wants his position group to be the first to get the honor as a whole. That means the top players start assisting the lessor and younger guys all that much more.
Walk ons- yes, most know from day one that they may never see the field. But this gives them something tangible to work toward, even if it takes them 3-4 years to earn it.

Could care less whether you think I am a troll or call me a troll, there is no winning that argument with anyone because you clearly can't support the local team if you aren't an alum or season ticket hold apparently. Either way I do appreciate your well detailed reply to my comments, that's the point of message boards. I happen to disagree however, and believe for the long term benefit of the program it doesn't make sense to burn a freshman redshirt when you have two very capable running backs as well as a return man in Grant and maybe the kid playing baseball. I have agreed multiple times in this thread and others that if the players buy into the stripe thing and being knighted that's all that matters...my only comment was that Sneed being knighted before hicks and Martin seems more like a way to send a message to the veterans rather than a sign that sneed will be a starting RB this year.
Reppin jerk, nothing to do with being alum or season ticket holder, it's the way you say " I won't buy season tix until the ooc games are better" that's the words of a Putz . The teams in the Big 10, but as you have reluctantly admitted your a PSU fan since birth, and all your comments show you take a " crap on the little brother Rutger because PSU is never wrong" approach to to all your banter. Go root for your school, Rider
Reppin: To play devil's advocate, you/we don't know the exact criteria Ash is using for determining game readiness.
For example, perhaps Sneed is currently slotted as the 3rd RB (or even 4th) with special teams duties. Isn't it possible that he's "game ready" for those roles..?
Bottom line: It's a motivational tool. If you want to know who's the best at each position, I recommend waiting until the depth chart is released.

To the bolded point...I am not an alum or season ticket holder...I have also pissed off a lot of posters and have had some good ole drag out battles with a lot of posters as well and yet, not once has anyone ever considered to call me a troll. There is a reason that after so few posts, many if not most call you a troll.
Reppin jerk , what other name do you post under - we know you have a few.
Also, besides Rutgers, any other boards you're obsessed with or just the Rutgers rivals. Did you get rejected when you applied to attend Rutgers and ended up at Rider? I'm just trying to determine the source of your anger

Having seen Miller's work ethic first hand years ago in wrestling, I'm not the slightest bit surprised he's one of the earlier knighted players. I was actually a little surprised he wasn't in the first batch.
I think people are overthinking things here. Game-readiness could mean anything. There could be something measurable like target weight or a certain number of reps in the weight room that go into being knighted. I'll be more worried if in September certain players are deemed not game ready.
In the presser Ash said nothing about game readiness. Rather he said these players exhibited certain characteristics he specifically wanted like effort, hard work, teachability, etc.
I'll admit I don't have the time nor inclination to parse every word the coaches say at this point in the year, so I'll defer to you on what the meaning of being knighted is. But this makes it even more clearer that it has no direct correlation to the depth chart, which is what I think some here are getting hung up on. Talk to me in September about who is not knighted, and then I'll worry if they are a key player.
