trying to break his high school record
A Flood type of coach if you want to keep him. Maybe we can get a 2 for 1 deal, and Flood can drive him home?
This brought a smile to my face. Certainly, a lot of the rest of the country would agree with you.
I just don' know if this program needs to add what may well be a cancer to the program with all of the rest of our problems. Talent aside, you also need good chemistry.
Agreed. Funny thing is I see people on this board say we need to bring in the top players / choir boys or not. The top players often have baggage. When there is a chance to bring them here, they turn their noses up. If people on here say he's a bad dude, I would pass but at least hear the kid out.
I know nothing about his issues, but flat-out refusing to consider the 5th rated player in a recruiting class sounds like a mistake. Must do due diligence before you would take him in and set ground rules, but unless there are criminal issues, how do you not listen? Maybe he grows up in a year or two and becomes a stud for us.
100% you take him here. Antonio has been going to Rutgers games for many years. From what I know his father is also a fan of Rutgers. You can’t fault a top 5 player in the country for choosing Alabama but it didn’t work out there. If he wants to come back home, you welcome him with open arms. Obviously he has to do everything expected of him but it’s a no brainer.
This^^^^^ Not only players but coaches too! I like Chris Ash, but the fact of the matter is so far(seasons not over yet) he has not been getting it done at Rutgers. If he is let go I am all for looking at Lance Leipold of the Buffalo Bulls. He has been a program builder and winner at every stop he has been in his coaching career. But we have a few asshats on this board who think we are going to be able to get and pay for an Urban Meyer caliber coach. I don't think that is happening until Rutgers has had many seasons of success on the field and Lance Leipold may be our best hope for that type of coach!
Many top players move high schools. I assume you are suggesting that he was kicked out. I’m not saying he is 100% innocent and it’s everyone else’s fault. But the kid as broken zero laws and never did anything Ethically wrong. So what is big deal? If he was a constant criminal, I would want noting to do with him. He missed class, according to his family, because of a sick grandmother. I dont care of that’s true or false. It’s not a big deal.
No. I was truly asking why. Difficulties with the coaches? Grades? Also, I posted before his father revealed his grandmother's illness so that clearly accounts for part of what's currently going on.
I don’t know him or his dad. I met them a few times through friends but very casually. The people I know believe he is a really good kid. That’s all I need.
Our situation is dire so we need to take some chances. Maybe he comes and does not work out, but it is not like he would take a spot from another top ranked DL.
To say we shouldn’t take this guy because Nate Robinson didn’t work out is by far the worst reason ever. That’s like saying we shouldn’t take a QB from Jackson HS because Tom Tarver had a bad year
If the best freshman in the country wants to come you take him unless he raped or killed someone

All you people so in the know....tell us what he has done without getting into details. Criminal activity? Harassment? Academics?
Imho, unless its criminal or legal stuff you don't shut this door. If so, that's a different story.

What did Rashad McCants and Marvin Austin do at UNC?
This is a classic risk reward scenario. If it doesnt workout you move on. The worse result if doesnt work is some negative press from already negative press
If he did not commit a major crime, there will be a lot of blue blood programs looking to add him. What makes us think that he will join Rutgers?
From what I saw on his Rivals profile, both coaches who recruited him to Alabama are no longer at Alabama (Josh Gattis - Michigan OC and Craig Kuligowski - unemployed). Not sure of the recruiting coaches matter as much in football as basketball, but it could be part of the situation.
Heavy contact with PSU. He’s either going to redshirt at Alabama or potentially end up in Happy Valley.
RU not in play. Kid is possibly a first round pick in three years but some of you are going to pass on him- yeaahhhh ok.

IIRC Nate Jones was a DB who carried a 3.65 GPA.
D. Hester worked out pretty well for Rutgers football, as did Dill, the offensive tackle from Maryland that we had for a year under the previous coach.
I have a question for all the posters that said no. Did you watch the Iowa game? Did you see the 7 yard QB sneaks? If Chris Ash is not fired by the end of this year, he will probably be on the hot seat next year as well. Once again, I would work really hard to get this kid if I were in Ash's position (unless the kid committed a crime).
take him and roll the dice. Even if it’s another ahmirr Mitchell chances are the damage won’t be catastrophic.
