Why do they give the "I'm opening up my recruitment" line? Just say you now want to go to Iowa and call it a day....
Is that his way of informing the staff? Through Twitter, with a typed up statement made on his phone?
It sure seems that way. And his inability to answer questions is basically telling them don't call me. I find this entire recruiting process pathetic.
If that's how he's telling the staff YIKES. We cannot keep losing guys to peer Big Ten schools ie Maryland, Iowa. But, just hold on, in less than 10 days we can get back to normalcy - and there's more to be positive about than negative if we are honest with ourselves and looking at the big picture.
Iowa was just more attractive to him. There are still a lot of uncertainties with Rutgers. I mean we just went 2-10. We've had a new offensive coordinator every year for idk how long. He may have had a solid relationship with the Dbacks assistant coach that just left.
All I know is we better find someone to fill our secondary in a few years.

If he has any honor as a man he'll meet with ash, the guy who stuck with him and advised him academically for months while Iowa was nowhere to be found, in person
Wow. Flip on Ash a week before NSD after they believe in you and help you get qualified. The lack of respect here by the kid, his family and his coaches is everything wrong with NJ. It's f*cking nauseating.
This is why I have lost almost all interest in football recruiting. I used to find it highly interesting but now it's just boring. And it isn't just a Rutgers thing. It's the state of college football.
It's musical chairs, and the only thing that matters is where people are when the music stops in Feb. Commits, decommits. It's almost bad to be the first school these kids "commit" to.
It makes the moves that Rockin Randy make almost understandable. There is no honor or integrity. It is every man for himself no matter what. Best to understand the rules and accept them- there are none. And operate with that mindset.
Wake me up in Feb. It will be more interesting then.

So does this mean he didn't watch the Pats game last night?

This is obviously fake news because I read that have 5 Scarlet Knights in the Super Bowl will be great for recruiting.
I hope that he actually spoke to the RU staff before this tweet.

I don't know why people think DB's who played for our coach 6 years ago effect recruiting. It's a good story but this staff has nothing to do with it.
so much for Fence the Garden. Ash must be sick and tired of these flaky jersey kids.
And enough with this reopening your recruiting bullshit. Just say you're going to Iowa.
As per one of the Weequahic coaches he has been told that Iowa wants him as a WR and they expect him to return kicks next year. The coach said that they have been teaching him a jab step at WR and once he plants, he's gone.
Federici made some friends when Iowa recruited the RB. Supposedly the kid wanted an RU offer but the staff passed.
I don't think the staff was caught off guard with this decommit

I would hope not since people saw this coming for a least a week or two.
Yes, there always seems to be a lot of piety and childish anger calling 16-17 year old kids names and insults over the internet when they choose not to attend the school whose football team you root for.
There was some Twitter chatter between him and Watts a couple of days ago. Don't speak twitter, so don't know what this means.
I love Rutgers, but this is by far and away not only the worst thing about rooting for college sports, but also the most ridiculous. Only on this planet would we give a 17-18 year old diva who thinks the world revolves around them this much power. I really need to stop paying attention to recruiting - makes me sick.
I don't think the anger comes from not choosing Rutgers.
It comes from telling the coaching staff that you are coming to the school, causing the staff to alter their recruitment of other players accordingly, and then bailing on the coaching staff at the last minute resulting in them having to scramble to fill the position vacated as a result the player deciding he has a "better" offer.
Well Schiano seemed to be healthy as he stuck around for 11 years recruiting these NJ kids.
Our basketball staff begs to differ. Didn't we send out a tweet of all the great UCONN players they had coached many years ago?
LOL, you just made his point for him. Unless you are a national program, recruiting is about the coaches, not the school. Which is what the basketball program was trying to point out.
I think his point was 6 years is ancient history to 17 year olds (which it very well may be), but agree to disagree.
Actually scratch that, I completely glossed over his 2nd sentence. You're right.
That said I think having guys in the pros does definitely matter. How much? Eh probably not the biggest factor.
