Now hear me out because I know there will be a lot of people ready to jump all over me for this. I will be the first to admit that I have been pleasantly surprised with how quickly Greg has seemed to turn around the excitement and recruiting around the program. I expected a better recruiting class but the number of quality recruits committing early has been tremendous. One thing I remember is 4 years ago Chris Ash had similar success his first recruiting cycle (from a rankings perspective), then all the sudden when games started being played the results on the field followed and we all know what happened, soon Rutgers became recruits last choice or only P5 offer and that's what we settled for.
Now please understand I DO NOT believe Schiano will let that happen and I believes he's worlds better than Ash at leading a program however Greg's strong suit has never been game day coaching, he's a tremendous leader, mentor and evaluator of talent which leads me to my hypothesis.
I don't think anyone will disagree that the team will struggle on the field with this years roster, certainly we will be better than the prior few years but I'm not expecting anything over 4 wins... Poor results on the field have a direct connection to recruiting. By shortening or even eliminating the season it will allow Greg to continue this nothing but positive momentum on the recruiting trail and yes I do believe our 2022 recruiting class will be better as a result. At he same time it also gives an extra season to get his guys in so when we do hit the field theoretically in 2022 we will have that much more equal talent with our Big 10 competitors....
I will be the first to say that I hope there's a season this year, I hope everything returns to normal yesterday, I hate what's going on in the world, I'm just trying to think about other things and different scenario's. Feel free to roast me or discuss, I thought it would be an interesting topic
