Nice to see Ray getting back into the mix. There is a great series of pictures in this article of Schiano, Meyer, Ash, and Matt Rhule.

“I met Coach Ash and we’ve been in contact," Rice said. "I love what he’s building for Rutgers. I think it’s a very special deal. There is no coincidence that Ohio State and Rutgers are here today. They are going to run their programs on a very tight ship and the kids will get a lot out of it. More importantly, they’ll be great football players but they’ll be better men.”

Way back when in 2004, Rice was a lightly recruited three-star recruit from New York uncovered by Schiano after a Syracuse decommitment.

"It was a lot different in my era," Rice said. "I went to one camp, I think. It was Penn State. And obviously you do everything there, but it’s only one school. Look at this place. I can’t tell you how many colleges are out here but it’s a pretty nice turnout."

Thanks for posting. It's good to see Ray back in the picture and to hear that he is trying to help others learn from his huge mistake. I'm hoping that people will allow him to redeem himself in their minds so that he not always be judged only for that one mistake but in a more balanced manner that looks at the many good things the man has done and is again doing.
