Gonna guess Massoud let the staff know he'll be decommitting so they looked elsewhere. Especially since they still want Alaimo.

Welcome!

 

[tico brown]

Good news... a QB from PA.

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Very good news!

 

[Knight Shift]

From Todderick:
Simon chose Rutgers over offers from West Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse, Minnesota, Colorado, UConn, Temple, UMass, Bowling Green and others.

Ash beat out Dino, Row the Boat and Rockin' Randy-- things are looking up!!!

 

[BHSPCRU]

Heard several P5 schools had him number 1 on their board...Colorado was mentioned as really wanting him for their system which they felt was a perfect fit....

 

[CrazyfoRU]

Great news on a bleak Monday. Seems like solid get. I guess the staff wasn't going to wait around for Alaimo anymore now that he seemed to be trending towards MSU.

Colorado ended up taking another QB instead.

Welcome to the Banks, Mr. Simon!

 

[newell138]

call me jaded but its hard to get excited over anyone committing these days until LOI day. That being said, seems like a good pick up

 

[BlockR]

good pick up but what about Aliamo and I guess with Massoud going to prep/high school in Texas now this makes things 'fluid'?

 

[HeavenUniv.]

He seems like a real steamroller !!!

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Evan, welcome to The State of Rutgers and your Scarlet Knights !!!

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Maybe he is still committed to Rutgers and is willing to play DB if he does not get the QB spot.

I agree. Recruiting is so crazy these days it's seems like spending a lot of time worrying about it is wasted effort.

Still very happy to have the young man aboard.

If you had premium you’d know Alaimo was gone long ago.

 

[HeywoodGiant]

He looks like Mike McMahon

my bad,confused him with Snyder.

You are still confused--didn't you mean Zamar Wise?

 

[red_sky]

At least wait for Alaimo to commit somewhere before taking this kid. The sooner RU rids itself of CrAsh the better.

We didn't offer!!!!

Seriously? You risk losing both then.

 

[RUwoz]

Guess that counts Wise officially out?

This is a mid 3 star recruit who had legit P5 offers. Something to be happy about!

 

[250andCounting]

Welcome to your new family Evan.

 

[Richie O]

Wise was already out, Carter took his spot.

Wrong. You miss on both with that strategy. Ash did well here on a kid that is wanted by others.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

From PA. Top 10 in their 2020 class. Simon is his name.

So... did he say anything?

 

[RUinFla]

Good news, and we need it. Carter this year and Simon next?

Get ready for another Ash special: the kid will get his 4th star and end-up at another B1G school.

 

[pawildcat]

Don't know how he'll do in the B1G, but Manheim Central is one of the perennially tough teams in our 10-county district in Pa. They have something like 10 district football championships and reached the 5A state title game this past year, losing 36-31 to a Penn Hills team that had 4-5 Division I prospects, including a couple in their defensive backfield. They have Simon listed as a pro QB, but he's not immobile from what I saw. Competition is not bad at the 5A level, but like a lot of HS quarterbacks he's going to have to get used to the speed of the college game. Coming from Manheim, he'll probably be a well-coached kid.

 

[RUDead]

Welcome!

 

[RU#1fan]

He looks like Mike McMahon

Wrong
There was only one Mike McMahon.
Best RU QB ever.

It may not even come to a fourth star. Signing day is seven months away.
Ash will be gone. That is plenty of time to decommit.

Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated. Sounds like a solid pickup for the program. Ignore the downers. Typical Jersey self loathing types.
