RU will be at the Buckeye camps in Cbus
- Thread starter Akron Buck
- Start date
It's not a negative slant at all, I've just been around Rutgers long enough to not trust any commit until signing day because every 4* recruit we get a commit from normally flips before signing day. That's just a fact. It completely sucks but why would I get all upset like many of this board does if these guys leave? After Rene, Barkley, and the 2014 class, forgive me if I'm cautious to count these recruits until they actually send in their LOI
Again, that is not what you said. Several instances I almost spoke up for you because I first thought you were being treated unfairly, it's a good thing I checked your posting history before speaking out.
This is about first and foremost EXPOSURE. RU desperately needs states outside the immediate area. Which this camp thing is providing. How many articles/mentions was RU getting the Detroit Free Press before this? How many recruits in OH know about RU in Ohio. Call it whatever you want but the key is to increase brand awareness and all these things are beneficial to RU long-term.
Akron Buck has the correct take from this. imho. OSU might have a backlog at certain posiitons in certain years and they just cannot take another guy there because Urban Meyer is juts kiling it. I'd love to get those guys that are really good enough for OSU but there is just no room at the inn. And these kinds know that they will play in the Big House twice in their careers at Rutgers.
Go East Young Man! Play for Rutgers!
Let's revisit this in February when the LOI's are sent in and see if I was wrong.
We all know what DNA stands to, dick nosed asshole.
He's got three accounts(Reppin jerk) and slants everything to a loser mentality, super Saint Joe pa fan, really is just a pure liar.
He calls me a troll all the time, but in reality everything 95% that's optimistic is an opportunity for him to lie or dig up the bad years and how rutgers expectations can be really nothing over .500.He calls, me a troll, but really I just don't like liars on this board and will continue to call him on his BS. Go ahead DNA , open another handle

And you seriously can't see the recurring theme in each of these instances.[eyeroll]
P.S.
I'll give you a hint which one of these things doesn't belong.

Can you explain why they (Ohio State) practically gave Odin to us? Please stop talking about things you don't understand.
Urban has a soft spot for RU. Why was Urban a guest speaker at an RU coaches camp? Him and Schiano are buds - they go way back. And with Ash, he talks to him as well. In fact there is constant dialogue between both coaching staffs. Urban is genuinely trying to help Rutgers. Again, not being naive - like I said if the recruit is priority one, they will get that recruit over RU - no doubt about that. Besides, he won't be in Ohio State for ever. By the time we get good and we get to their level, Urban may not even be there any more.
What you will see is somehting tOSU has done since the days of Woody. If there is a player that tOSU feels it will not land or they think is a good player but they just don't have a spot for them in their class they try to direct the kid to another school that isn't _ichigan or Notre Dame. They have been doing it with Ohio kids for a long time
You know, it's amazing how Ash sees the big picture and follows through, while some armchair critics had been so short-sighted when you look back on it.
First, it was Ash can't recruit NJ. He's recruiting Jersey pretty darn well now.
Next, it was Ash shouldn't finish out the last bowl game. He should spurn his tOSU relationship and start focusing on Rutgers immediately. Well, this cordial relationship (regardless of the underlying motives) is proving beneficial now.
Is there anything else to prove the critics/skeptics/Debbie-downers wrong?
I REALLY do hope that #stripethebirthplace turns out perfect and is a real memorable classic. That would be icing on the cake.

There's no doubt u are a troll. The ONLY thing u comment on is responses to me, THAT'S IT. Ur a complete loser Mike
You can't state something is a fact when there is regime change. Yes, 4 stars flipped under Flood but no really under Schiano. Is that not also a fact? I know it's easier for you to relate to things involving PSU and JOPA so I'll try to make it easier for you. Under JOPA PSU's coach sh$t his pants on the field. Does that mean Franklin will sh$t his pants? Do we have to wait a few more years before he can prove he won't sh$t his pants? Are all your D coordinators pedophiles?
Agreed, sadly it's an obvious point that some so-called fans need explained to them. Every schools had decommits, part of the game
I understand the coaching change and yes, schiano had flips. I'm not saying I'm not happy with what Ash is doing. Getting big high caliber o lineman will be key to Odin's success. I just know that for the last few years I've gotten excited about these 4* guys who commit to us, just to be let down before signing day. Sue me if I'm cautious of anything before a LOI is sent in. My biggest concern is these guys flipping if we struggle this year be Flood was so god awful at recruiting, I don't know that we have the talent to be competitive this year.
Ash has been telling anyone who will listen we don't have the talent he needs. You thinks he's telling the recruits otherwise?
I absolutely believe he is telling the recruits this and would love for them all to stay, all I'm saying though is if we get pounded each week like we did last year in conference against the teams that matter, than it will be tough to keep those kids who are being recruited by those same teams who we are playing each week.
IMO it's all about how we play as a team this fall. What I mean is you can tell a well coached team from a poorly coached team regardless of talent. We may not have the talent to beat some of the teams in conference this year but if we display a good scheme and compete than I believe we have a good chance of keeping a lot of our top commits thus far.
