Solomon Manning: 3* LB prospect from Colonia...

[devoted2ru]

Young guy from the same high school as EL has gotten an RU offer and appears he'll make a decision on Monday.

Some of the schools that have offered are N. Carolina, Pitt, Sadexcuse, ODU...and Rutgers, of course. :)

Also, he's the #31 prospect in the NJ.com Top 50.

Making his decision right after an offer? Sounds like he's ours

 

[RAA-1]

In his highlights it looks like he has great instincts and good speed.

hes #14 overall player in NJ according to Rivals 2016 NJ rankings. for whatever that is worth. surprised he doesn't have a few more offers, he did ok at the Rivals camp a couple of months back i believe

This is more complicated than simply "got offer, committing Monday". If you have Round Table access, you need to read the thread there.

 

[ruready07]

he didn't perform well at rivals camp. He couldn't stay with players who had any wiggle. Could turn out to be a player but it remains to be seen if he can contribute in the B1G east

And you can go to the Elias Reynolds page on 247 (free) and read that he was at Nebraska on an unofficial visit today. Sure, he might have always dreamed about seeing Lincoln in June and nothing happens. But "verbal" is just such a joke. So ... how long was that commitment? Unreal.

Actually, most verbals stick - probably 90%. Ours do too; except for 2014 during which the program was dealing with all kinds of crap - an unusual situation.
The young man could certainly change his mind, but that is not the norm.

Good for Flood. I like the hard-line approach. Sick and tired of NJ recruits embarrassing their state school and its head coach. Hopefully there will come a time when this is his modus operandi. All those kids who "love Rutgers" but then choose to play for one of our division rivals can kiss it where the sun don't shine!

Reynolds doesn't have an offer from Nebraska. as of yet.

Why must Flood have so many gimmicks in recuriting? Offer the best players who fit here and let the chips fall, in case he missed his last gimmick was an epic fail.

"I want to have a long talk with the University of North Carolina coach and discuss what he has to offer for me," Manning said. "They've offered me, and from that talk, I'll probably be sure of where I want to go."

What does this mean???
What does he want a Caddie? An offer is an offer...you want it (U love RU?) you take it...if not don't , see ya, good luck.

Anyone who commits to UNC is crazy. Their sanctions will most likely be handed down after signing day. That school is joke

 

[RU205]

i have watched this guy play a few time live.

After TTFP what makes you think that?

 

[lilphilw]

Probably because one has to do with players on the field While another had to do with a retired football coach that wasn't really football related. More of a university problem in my eyes

 

[NotInRHouse]

I don't think they care about that so much as protecting big names and UNC is a big name in most every sport

 

[Dr. Potato]

Go to UNC and you can mail in something you pulled out of the trash, put your name on it and get an A.

 

[RU205]

And?

Don't want to say anything negative just in case he comes to RU. He is a solid player but not B1G level in my opinion. He didn't appear to be the best player on the field for his team, and no one else from his team is going to a P5 school. They had a very good RB and solid QB.

I hope you aren't talking Russo who sounds like an epic win.

 

[wheezer]

good pickup

 

[jerzeyguy]

Appears to be around 200lbs and looks very slow footed on film. Probably a great get tho

 

[BaseballFan913]

why do you guys think you are all qualified to assess a high school athlete? if any of you were as qualified as Flood or any other D1, D2, or even D3 coach, you would be doing that and not hanging out on an internet forum.

Go Knights! Hope you take advantage of your opportunity Manning!

 

[Abro1975]

He didn't look slow to me on his Hudl tape.
