For the past several years the rope unit has been the heart and soul of the team and it was like a badge of honor to be on the group. Those guys are just workers and they have made that position on this team something kids aspire to be. It is a thankless job that really good offensive players have taken and run with. I was just speaking with someone today and w mentioned that our rope unit could have been an offensive unit for several D1 teams. I spoke with one of our incoming recruits and he was excited to be targeted to play on the Rope group. 2/44/6/26 made this group fun and exciting. I am convinced that Bubba Fairman saw how important our rope unit was for use and decide to play there this year. This has been a fun group to watch and Rutgers certainly will have big shoes to fill.
Looking to next year

Well said. 3 years ago there would have been major questions about the rope guys. The developed into arguably the best group we’ve had. I expect that to continue. We have athletes and that’s who excels in that position. Quietly we are turning into Rope U.
Unfortunately, it looks like we are struggling to find offensive help in the portal. the top 4 kids on offense are off the market and Schelling looks to be going somewhere else. Brehdal could certainly help but it sounds like he is looking elsewhere as well. Not sure if we are looking for offensive help in the portal but at this point, the pickings seem to be pretty slim. Bromwell from Salisbury or Altobello from CNU could help
Definitely. It’s going to be interesting. Apparently a lot of Cuse guys are getting Gait money which happens to be their Coach. Whispers are the NCAA is starting to look at this stuff pretty closely.
There is definitely more comp for xfers out there now. Everyone took notice of what we’ve done.
I got a lot of great intel last night. I can’t share much but we are on some guys that can ball that no one really knows about. Not yet anyway.
Still in it for the Tevlin sweepstakes but there are two Acc schools that seemed positioned well.
We will get a couple of more for sure. Good culture, hard and tough competitors who will push their teammates to raise the level of play.
Same with Tevlin. Still in it but I think Duke or ND are leans. It’s all fluid of course.
I’m more interested in a couple other guys that I can’t speak of.
