Rutgers can NOT get blown out in Michigan game 60 Recruits will be in attendance

[devoted2ru]

John O., who's been around recruiting for quite a while, has said in the past that fans can often take a loss, even a bad loss, more to heart than many recruits do.

When a new staff comes in, prospects are sold, or not sold, on a school by the drive of the new coaches, the energy they give off, and the coaches' vision for the program in regards to turning things around.

Now, would it be a positive to have recruits see RU be competitive against a top 5 team like Michigan? Without a doubt. But in the end, one of the most pivotal factors in recruiting is the staff's ability to have prospects see beyond what might be taking place on the field in the present, and convince them of what can be in the future if they were to bring their talents to Rutgers. -And so far, this staff has been doing an effective job of that and hopefully that trend will continue right up to NSD and beyond.

So I ask questions - that's what I do...

So would assume Ash as OSU DC last year would be intimate with OSU's tendency's - what plays they like to run - which player is good at this or that - how you would defense such a play. No?

So Meyer hired the guy - right? And probably likes the guy and wouldn't want to embarrass the man as HC - so he went easy on him and dropped 58-0 points on the man.

What the hell do you think Harbaugh is planning on doing ? He has no relationship with Ash - want's to steal all NJ recruits from the man...

Hell he will drop 58 in the first half - if he can...no?

Just a little "fyi" - for those so worried about "blowouts" and the like the #1 Total D in the nation gave up 500+ yards and 56 points, to a playoff contender, tonight.

BC traitors actually had the 6th ranked in total defense before last night's game.
Powerhouse teams like UMASS, Wagner, and Buffalo among their first 5 games had nothing to do with this ?
Please.

I sometimes wish we can use the recruits in the stands. Hey, Bo Melton and Johnathan Lewis, do you want to suit up today?

They were #1 before last nights game. It was discussed at nausea him during the game and I double checked it on NCAA site. They also played Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech if I recall correctly. You're missing the point, obviously.

No my friend you are missing the point, and badly.
It's one thing trying to rationalize a blowout against a stout defense vs. an average defense or not so good.
BC is not a strong defense. The mighty Offensive Teams that BC played so far : UMASS - ranked 120 and Buffalo Offense - ranked 126 and Wagner. Don't let the facts get in the way of your post. Oh ,and the Georgia Tech Offense ranks # 113 in the FBS !!!!!
Let's see where the French rank at the end of the year.

I'll say it again:

These kids aren't stupid. They know where we're at as a program right now. Ash and his staff have more than likely "sold' this properly to them and getting beat by 40-points to a top-5 team isn't the end of the world. They're looking for the traits that Ash is selling, a fun atmosphere, and a team that doesn't quit. Yes, keeping it close'ish would be a huge "plus" but I'm sure expectations are tempered.

So they would much rather go to a program sold on a product that they have not seen on the field? They would rather jump into the unknown with the ONLY 4 years of CFB eligibility they have over going to a proven entity such as Michigan or OSU? Your right you sold me...

Yes.

Why do people like the OP and NJ.com insist on setting scenarios where it looks like we fail? We all know this game will likely not be close. I think the Athletic department was keenly aware that this could be a rough one when they invited all these football and basketball recruits. It's expected. What would be worse is inviting recruits and getting blown out by a team like Indiana.

I blame this thread for the lopsided loss.

If all of the best NJ high school players stayed together and went to RU, they would be putting beatdowns on other B1G teams.

 

[Howie'81]

sixty 60 recruits will be guests of Rutgers both 2017 and 2018 recruit targets for this game..getting blown out and having the stadium empty at halftime will be a huge hit landing these recruits.
I dont care if Gio,or Oden has to run the wildcat,or if Cioffi has to be a linebacker(which may happen) .
RU has to be able to compete in this game!
Get it done Ash and Company!

Oh well.

On the plus side, recruits see an opportunity for early playing time. Conversely, they don't want to get beat-up physically and emotionally in front a stadium that is half empty by half-time.

Well now we know what a huge blunder this was, as many of us expected it to be. There are numerous posts on here from coaches or people sitting near coaches/recruits that say we hurt our chances with their kids last night.

Hopefully someone questions Ash on this in a press conference or the radio show. I'd love to hear what he was thinking.

You really think kids we are recruiting wouldn't have watched the game on (national) TV if they weren't there in person? They could still see the empty seats in the second half. Lots to get in Ash for but IMO that's not one of them.

Do you think any of them would have been watching after the first 10 minutes if it were on TV?

And how many of them will want to come back to another "game" if Ash invites them? At least if they didn't show up last night there might be a chance they'd come to another one.

Good points. Still think it's way too premature to panic. Get some distance from these last 2 games and it won't seem so life or death.

You're right. I think the biggest reason many are so worried is because we know we need to recruit better since it's probably unlikely we're going to catch the '06 lightning in a bottle in the B1G. We're just too far behind.

But games like the last two weeks won't help, and the best we can hope for is that we didn't lose any ground.
