Rutgers' idiotic policies and recruiting

[RUaMoose]

We won't know how RU's idiotic mask and vaccine policies are affecting FB recruiting because no one is going to say they chose another school for this reason. However common sense would dictate that if a recruit is deciding between two schools and it's razor edge close, such policies will likely come into play. It's the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. I'm looking at the 2023 class and I don't see one 4-star recruit

Rutgers University Continuing Mask and Vaccine Mandate

Rutgers University plans to keep its mask and vaccine mandate in place for the fall semester, citing risks of both the Chinese coronavirus as well as monkeypox.

Chicoms must be running RU policy.

Breitbart? No Alex Jones cite?

 

[ruinac]

If it’s “common sense” that it would be a reason for an athlete to choose another school, then why would the athlete not say it’s his reason?

 

[jordkap]

I’d also imagine inner city and urban kids aren’t at home watching Tucker Carlson nightly. Don’t think the policy matters at all.

 

[RUforlife]

Forget athletics, sucks for the students.

Is there something false in the article?

Actually - yes. The mask policy has nothing to do with monkeypox.

Lol

 

[rutgersal]

NIL, No Fran Brown, inferior facilities, and lack of success is having the biggest impact on our recruiting.

 

[zappaa]

Kids in NJ high schools and Prep schools, not just athletes, were and are completely aware and tuned into what’s going on at no masks, no mandate,, no zoom classes universities
I have no idea what it means or means to recruiting

 

[zappaa]

Broad, sweeping stereotype.
Does everyone kid we recruit black or white meet the urban, inner city criteria….not

 

[RUinPinehurst]

LOL. That's hardly an elephant. 18 year-olds likely aren't processing that mandate to the degree the OP is. Just another rule to follow among many in the program and the university.

Libs gonna lib.

Article? There were like 20 picture ads and polls for Donald Trump every other paragraph. The first poll asked "ARE YOU ULTRA MAGA?" I spit my coffe out because I laughed so hard. That's kind of like asking "ARE YOU ULTRA STUPUD.?" Kind of hard to read or take anything seriously with that nonsense dominating the screen.

 

[Knightmoves]

Speaking of masking up in school, Los Angeles youth basketball players are required to mask up while playing ball. Could this policy be coming here?

Los Angeles requires youth basketball participants to wear masks, critic calls policy 'dangerous'

A youth basketball league in Los Angeles is requiring participants to wear a mask at all times, even as the country is two years into the COVID-19 pandemic.

OK then google the topic and find a source to your liking instead of being drama queen

Yeah I wouldn’t go or send my kids there and I love RU. Really dumb policies.

Isn’t it bad to make stereotypical remarks like that? Lmao

and yet- some people obviously do...It created a very big concern for the OP.

It is why I do everything I can not to let media drive my thoughts.

 

[RUaMoose]

If it’s “common sense” that it would be a reason for an athlete to choose another school, then why would the athlete not say it’s his reason?

Cause he'd be attacked as "anti-vax" or "anti-science" on social media and elsewhere. It's one of those subjects you're not supposed to talk about.

Nah. Not buying that. If it’s common sense that kids and athletes are avoiding RU because of the mask policies then a kid would be a hero for saying that’s why he went elsewhere.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

Yeah I wouldn’t go or send my kids there and I love RU. Really dumb policies.

Liberty U and Oral Roberts might be a good fit then. Don't be put off by their open admissions policy, though. Intense, rigorous academics focused on independent critical thinking will surely prepare grads to flourish.

The last portion of your statement is the biggest factor imo

It’s not common sense because many aren’t , it’s a decision a kid and family make.
It need not be mentioned or celebrated….it should be respected, along with their privacy.
It’s personal and no one needs to know.
Why in the world would anyone want to single themselves out in an effort to be a “hero”

BS, another stereotypical over the top reaction

I agree with you. Nobody owes other people an explanation about their college choices. Unless someone tells why those choose to attend or not attend a particular school people shouldn’t assume they know. But that’s not what the OP is doing. He assumes the mask policy is hurting recruiting and further assumes that recruits won’t say that the mask policy is a reason. I challenged his “common sense” argument.

 

[Yeah Baby]

BS, another stereotypical over the top reaction

If you don’t vote for me you ain’t …..

and to the poster who stereotyped my earlier post, no, I would not go or send my kids there either. There are many schools that are not extreme left or extreme right. That’s where I want to be.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

You should check out their online courses. Maybe they offer one on sarcasm and humor.

Unnecessary Mandates are bad no matter what those mandates are and which way you vote.

 

[RUnTeX]

I would think this is among the least of Schiano's obstacles in recruiting but hysteria must be the OP's thing. Vandy's recruiting probably has something for the OP to get hysterical about too.

I sensed no hysteria from the OP.
I simple question followed by an observation is what I read.
That observation could be right or wrong and can be debated.
I see no reason to attack the person .

Then you have not followed the OP's posting history. As an example - his constant bashing of New Jersey.

 

[RUskoolie]

I hate RU's mask policy and idiocy about COVID more than anyone but that's not why recruiting is down OP.

Certainly your choice. But it seems a curious one to me to not choose RU simply based on short term in classroom masking policies. Rutgers has done right by me and my career. Years after this masking debate is left in the dust I'll have a family tradition of Rutgers grads with children and hopefully grand-children attending games.

You mean, they’re not??? 😂

People are gonna be mad at this post but youre 1000%. Right. Just look at the polls of where people stand on masking.

Inner city folks statistically are the single largest anti-vaxx crowd of any fyi

Cheering on “short term masking policies”
Insanity 😊

 

[RUPete]

This factor is probably far down the list of reasons recruits choose a school. Coaching, opportunity for PT, NIL, academic programs, family can see them play, NFL development opportunities, etc. are probably larger factors.
