While what you are saying is 100% true don't dismiss the fact that Flood pushed a lot of these kids to commit early. That rubbed some of these kids the wrong way because like you said we are RU. While I think stories of Greg's recruiting prowess are certainly overblown, one thing I will give him is he had supreme confidence in himself to close kids at the 11th hour. That's why we saw some signing day surprises. This staff will have to do the same thing here in year 0. In 2017 when Ash and Co. Actually have had time to build relationships and sell RU then we can be hypercritical.
Rene is a goner I think.

Too wintery in Madison for Rene. Methinks he's bound for some more Carolina sunshine, having just experienced a lovely weekend in Chapel Hill, being wooed by the Ram's Club and their fetching ambassadors, who no doubt serenaded him time and again with "Carolina in My Mind," a catchy tune that UNC adopted years ago, making it their unofficial anthem, around the same time that "The Carolina Way" was born. The NCAA be damned! Go Heels!
so what ...we were a dumpster fire chasing rainbows when he DID COMMIT....so now he needs a top 15 school to light his fire...or lack of fire...by we'll kick your butt later and still send DBs into the league...he left Canada for the Va school now he wants to head north ...don't make sense..
I seem to recall reading in an article at the time of his RU verbal a quote from Rene something along the lines of, "I don't give my word my word lightly. I'm not the kind of person who says one thing and then goes changing his mind". -Not an exact quote, but that was basically the substance of it.
Clearly, with the regime change a lot of things are different at Rutgers now then at the time of his commit. -But from the few pieces I've read about Rene's feelings towards the new staff, his reaction appeared to be positive.
Now as others have pointed out, he's still presently listed as a Rutgers commit. But with the fact he's looking around as he is, guess it just shows once again you've got to take what recruits say with a grain of salt roughly the size of Texas, and that nothing is truly set in stone until a prospect signs his name on the dotted line on NSD.
