Mohamed "The Menace" Toure is back next year!
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
I thought he would be exploring the NFL waters. Maybe he got enough feedback that it didn't make sense to leave.. regardless, I'm excited to have Mo back!
Another reason to be optimistic about the defense next season.
This is huge. What a job by the staff retaining our better talent in the age of the portal.
Being part of the program, for about 10 years, was a blessing. Up close, it is obvious that this is NOT simply a football team. It is a Program. A program where the greater good eclipses individual needs. Where honesty and integrity are absolute requirements. Not everybody fits, here. But, those of us that do, we stick. F.A.M.I.L.Y.!
If the requisite good character qualification limits our ceiling to 6-8 wins per year, so be it.

Having had interactions with Greg and the previous guy, it's night and day. After speaking to the previous guy, felt like punching the wall in frustration. After speaking with Greg, feel like running through a wall for the program.
Greg could sell ice to Eskimos. Some say he is a slick salesman, but I don't see it that way. He is very real. He connects with people he is talking with, and he articulates the vision for the program well. Rutgers is lucky to have him. Great job keeping the defense together.

We now have confirmation that Powell, Lewis, Bailey, and Toure will be back. We still need to hear from Flip Dixon. Melton is gone but that was expected.
Dixon is a huge piece but you have to give RU credit for utilizing it's NIL resources wisely and getting these guys back instead of spending it on a QB. Hopefully, there is still some money for a WR and Tight End. The WR from Monmouth and the TE from Harvard seem like good options that won't break the bank. We'll see. But we need to keep Dixon to lock up a potentially elite defense next season. #DarkSide

I've never met GS, but I know lots of guys who have interacted with him. They all say pretty much what you said....especially the "run through a wall" part.
Toure and Powell will be an elite tandem next year.
Hopefully we'll see more of Moses Walker, Dariel Djabome, and Abram Wright in 2024.
This huge news on Toure !
I think Walker will play a major role at LB next season.
We just need Dixon to say Yes !!!!
Awesome news. He is a valuable pass rusher and edge player. Would love to see him evolve in his triangle play also. Interested to see who our other LB who steps up to be our third next year.
Huuuuge
I can see him having a near All American year. With Powell creating issues, he can flat out be that menace.
Will be interesting to see who will be 3rd lb. Although much hyped, Walker was mostly ineffectual and at times pushed around. Hopefully still in recovery mode and he can take a big step especially with Powell and Toure occupying OCs thoughts.

"Optimistic?" This D is going to be ELITE next season. Can not wait!!!
Cold be nationally a top 10 D . Let’s get a couple of DTs
We need to get some DT's in the portal with Iron and Mayan graduating. Hope Hamilton and Konga are ready to take the next step.
Angoy should be ready to step into the rotation too. He’s been in the program a few years now.
Jasire Peterson hopefully will be ready to contribute in 2024.
Don’t think he gave it to him…
He's active on Twitter. The guys that have committed are pushing him and Longerbeam publicly to commit. I would say that's a good sign. Schiano probably has been working on each NIL deal one at a time and I'm guessing Longerbeam and Dixon are next in the queue.
That would be icing on the Cake if Dixon and Longerbeam return.
Top 10 Defense next season !!!!!
People can see "real".. if they themselves are "real".
That means honesty, by the way. GS is honest and earnest and people can sense that right away. I also think our basketball coach Pike.. and wrestling coach Goodale all project their true interests in their athletes and university and programs. There are probably more such coaches. We keep hiring coaches with talent and integrity we'll be okay.
