Good post. Fans need to be realistic - now more than ever.
So what are everyones impressions of the current 2023 recruiting class?
- Thread starter BROTHERSKINNY
- Start date
Def a down year in NJ
GS mining FL / etc. for gems
Has no other choice
Short term it's the right move
Long term, we have to reel in the bigger fish if we want to be competitive
I prefer to be a little delusional between before the season starts and hope ( not expect) Rutgers will take on the best of the best and come out on top.
I find it hard to look at Rutgers chances in a realistic manner until the season stats.
I look for reasons why Rutgers can go undefeated, even if I know my reasoning is far fetched and unlikely to happen.
It actual kind of pisses me off to be expected to lower my unreasonable expectations for the upcoming season, even if I know those advising that are right.
I'm the :This will be the year: type before season begins and a "Wait till next year" claimer after the season doesn't bring the Title.
I enjoy the hoping for a great season and accept it didn't after season is over because my hope for future success remains in my heart no matter how the season turns out.
When the losers were running the show, I hoped they find a way to be winners or run out of town.
Now the Scarlet Knights has a HC I feel can turn RU into a winner again, but this time be able to reach the next level and be considered on par with the top B1G programs like OSU and be considered a playoff caliber team.
Ridiculous to some, but feel ridiculousness is part of everyone's fanhood when it comes to their supporting the program during it's darkest and sunniest days
Being a realist only covers betting bucks on the team
Schiano has up and down years in the recruiting rankings but he always gets players that contribute. It sounds like this class is a combination of targeting plan b under recruited players, down year for NJ and losing 2 of his best recruiters. I’m not worried because he always finds a way to get guys who show up.
I hope you’re right . They play good ball down in florida .
I do wonder if these Florida kids are still underecruited and underrated given the amount of film and scouting services now . It is a lot different from 20 years ago when schiano identified a target rich area due to his days at Miami
Developing players is one thing. Keeping them around when they show they are players is another matter.
No one disputed that, you stated he became a 4* after going to PSU.
We knew on the pay side he was getting a ratings bump based on the camp performance.
So the comment about staying at 3* if he remained committed to RU is false.
@RUBOB72 - Reading comprehension, I was talking about his commitment to PSU because again you claimed he only got it due to committing to PSU.
Several things can be true at the same time.
-Our recruiting has clearly dipped from last year, and this seems to be highly correlated to the loss of Fran Brown.
-Schiano has a history of developing underrecruited and under the radar players.
-Schiano is a program builder and has done it before at Rutgers.
-The Big 10 East is a completely different animal than the Big East, and other than a fluky win against Michigan State in a covid year, Schiano has never beaten a blue blood program in his head coaching career.
Who knows how this will all play out. It is a very tough climb, especially as long as these divisions are in place, which is why comparisons to West teams that have had a much easier road are not a great comparison. We need numerous players to develop at the same time, and we need to have much better QB play to get out of the basement.

And he did… you questioning someone’s reading comprehension is as funny as shit. You don’t have to be concerned . I’ll match my reading comprehension vs yours even though I ‘m pretty certain I’m much older . There was no guarantees based upon past Rutgers history he would have gotten that bump. Maybe and maybe not. But I can guarantee if it were a Michigan, MSU, Ohio State , Wisconsin , Iowa it would have been expected.
And I already told you Richie told us on the pay side he was getting a bump because he was outstanding. Do you think he pulled it out of his rear? So I'll clearly take you up on the reading comprehension because so far you've paid attention to nothing.
Richie told us … Richie told us… … you need to grow up little guy. You immediately begin calling out reading comprehension . Just so you do understand completely your childish reply speaks volumes . Time to put you on ignore.I possess a degree and a measured IQ of over 131. Now my dyslexia sometimes impacts me still but I’ll match yours anytime. Now have a happy Father’s Day .🪓🪓🪓🪓
NIL = Trouble for RU Recruiting. Even Fran Brown would struggle without a strong collective behind him. The game has changed and its a problem for many schools including Rutgers.
