Fran is like a fly that circle your food while you are eating.
A good recruiter is always a threat, until he proves as a HC he isn't very good at winning.
Head to Head & even circumstances, Fran is a better recruiter since he is younger and can connect with the player. Schiano is a boomer in comparison. Schiano as a head coach will get you to the NFL. Not sure sure about Fran at this time but he stunk as a DB coach.
NIL has quickly become the biggest factor in recruiting the top ranked prospects regardless if you are Brown, Schiano or anyone else.
I sometimes wonder if our son would have been swayed by it- keeping in mind that he would not have been getting offerred 6-7 figures out of HS- As a Sr- on his way to the NFL- there may have been much bigger money.
You must have been one of the ones who said Fran Brown would have no impact on our recruiting.
To this point, he hasn’t. The guy still hasn’t landed anyone we wanted. Still hasn’t beat out Greg in a head to head recruiting battle.
Syracuse is currently on a mission to flip the 2025 OL commit from Matawan with an upgraded NIL package.
That's a very good point. A fair rating of the top recruiters should be scaled to the amount of NIL money paid per recruit. Of course, that is not possible because the actual NIL paid in most cases kept secret.
I don’t see Syracuse offer for him on three sites. Sure if you offer enough money , a player will go anywhere. The only reason to go to Syracuse is the money since he has offers from all the powerhouse football programs. Syracuse may overpay for a recruit just to brag they beat Rutgers for a recruit. I would think they need to offer another million dollar to get a QB for next year so they need to allocate their money wisely. Some of you think they have unlimited funds for NIL but they have a thread of donor fatigue already.
Perhaps that is because there are no ACC schools in NY or NJ besides Syracuse. Nobody used the words worried or scared in this thread. I stated Fran may be a PITA on recruiting. When a formidable recruiter states that he plans to make NJ and NYC a priority for recruiting, it's probably a good idea to pay attention. It's worth watching. You used the words scared and worried. That's on you.
That’s probably their second question once they’re satisfied with the school’s response to their NIL expectations and certainly hasn’t been removed from the equation.
Better recruiter than Schaino ? Obviously not.
agree , but if Fran doesn't show he can win the NIL money might not come like now and
If both Schiano and Brown were let's say at Rutgers (I think that might have happened at one point, not sure), who would Schiano himself say is the better recruiter and more in tune with today's African American kids? Here is an idea for you, ask Schiano that question if you get the chance. LOL!!
Yes. Hope our own fans and their fans don't stir the pot with that nonsense schedule. Cal will be a good measuring stick game for them. I follow Cal because a buddy went there. While Cal has not set the world on fire with their W-L record, they lost two games last year by1 point and 7 points and the year before, 5 of their losses were by a touchdown or less. The switched to a freshman QB out of Miami in November, and he looked pretty good. @rucoe89 may have more on Cal.
Socked you say? Early St Paddy's day celebration going?That was very inappropriate to say.......
................without the following graphic:
@Knight Shift I'm socked at you liking his post when it's missing this crucial component. Shocked I say!!!
Going into Spring ball (starts tomorrow at Cal), Fernando Mendoza (as @Knight Shift notes is out of Miami) is the number 1 QB. Cal did bring in Chandler Rogers from LA-Monroes/North Texas to compete with him. Cal is solid at RB with Jayden Ott returning, but like Rutgers, has questions at WR. Cal also needed to upgrade its OL some too and did that with a couple of solid transfers from Stanford and Texas A&M. They will have a new OL coach, but he was the run game coordinator last year and Cal did well in the run game so the hope is that will continue. Defense has historically been Wilcox's forte, but last year it was felt they underperformed at times. Good core, though with LB defense, they are led by LBs Cade Ulave and David Reese and DB Craig Woodson. DL has good size, but has to produce more this year.
Are you sure? 2025 seems to be shaping up well for Fran and co.
Fran doing very well in NY with 5 recruits but has only 1 NJ recruit so far. Fran, learning from Greg, getting early recruits to show up high in the rating early in the process. Have to wait to be able to compare the two recruiting classes.Are you sure? 2025 seems to be shaping up well for Fran and co.
It means he sucked. I saw how he coached our DBs. If I had to give him a coaching nickname it would be Coach Toast because that's what was happening to our DB's when they played for him.
Beautiful! Schiano and RB coach get 4star 2024 RB Antwan Raymond over an offer from Syracuse thereby propelling RU past Pitt and Syracuse in the updated class of 2024 rankings. A double whammy today to our friends up north.
A little early to be celebrating.
2 players on that list had Rutgers offers, one was from Syracuse, and who knows if they were even committable offers. Calm down already. The poster you responded to was talking in the past tense.
And one of those 2 recruits was a running back. See this:
