"Rutgers has been on a roll....winning games like that open a lot of recruits' eyes"

[Knight Shift]

At least one recruit has taken note And he is from Florida. RU is in his top 2:

“Rutgers is having a really good season from last year, especially,”

“Rutgers, they’re just doing a lot better this year and I see myself probably getting on the field early, maybe,”

“It definitively does (make Rutgers more appealing),” he said. “It shows a lot of improvement as a team. I guess there are more things going on over there. They are becoming a better program.”

Elijah McAllister, DE/TE, Rumson (N.J.) Fair Haven 3-star
"Yes, it definitely (makes them more appealing). They are finally turning things into wins and the defense has played great."

John Olmstead, OT, St. Joseph (Met.) 4-star
"They have been playing very good. Of course, it (makes them more appealing). Their program just keeps getting better."

R.J. Oben, DE, St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) 3-star
"They've played really well. The Purdue win was big for the program. I'm always going to root for my home team to succeed. I'll have three former high school teammates at Rutgers by this time next year and that's big that those guys are playing."


Cedan Wallace, OL, The Hun (Princeton, N.J.) 3-star
"I think Rutgers has played well these past weeks. They fought and came out with wins which is always good. I’d say it does make the program more appealing because they are truly turning the program around."

Rahmir Johnson, RB, Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.)
"Rutgers has been on a roll. I have to say I think that winning games like that open a lot of recruits' eyes."

I am a magician.
The original thread was re-purposed to fit the discussion. Nobody wanted to talk about happy stuff in that one. There was not a single response on the quotes from recruits. :cry:

These quotes are music to my ears.

Magician is not the word that comes to mind. Censorship in a forum. Boo!

They can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Amazing how much a couple of conference wins can change the perception of the program. Competitive games against the remaining "B1G Boys", and at least a split with Indiana and Maryland, would be huge. We may be turning the corner!
