Football Transfer DB Brendon White Committed!
- Thread starter rutgersal
- Start date
Gus Edwards proved you can get all the showcase you need here and everyone knows it, and GS adds a whole other level to that.
We need to fire Greg every 4 years or so to allow him to search the country to find potential transfers not from NJ. LOL
This is why a bowl game next year is the goal. The portal changes everything. Timelines are different now because of it.
Greg has paying dividends already. 3 good transfers though one often injured, a couple of late pickups such as Bosco RB1 - the right kids decommitting to make room and if he can pull in Berger - then this class is twice as good as what Ash had been putting together.
This kid, White, is a great get. A real player from an elite school that has no “ifs” in his closet.

Just like the scene in Anchorman, where Ron and Veronica are riding unicorns along the rainbow!
He will be your best defensive player next year. A lot of Buckeye fans really like him, but the scheme we started running this year only plays a single safety spot more like a free safety(Jordan fullers position) and 3 CB. White is more a strong safety.
A lot of us thought he would get a lot of playing time in the bullet position ( sort of a hybrid outside linebacker) but Pete Werner was better at it. White just didn't fit the linebacker role as well, and was kind of left as a backup because we just didn't have a good spot for him in our scheme

No he wasn't a leader. He played mostly in the 2nd half after the outcome had already been decided. Wasn't so much him as it was the scheme (3 CBs and 1 safety). Very good player but just wasn't going to see playing time. Very good pickup for Rutgers
Some students do it very easily. Look at University of North Carolina football players. They didn't even need to attend class and they got degrees.
Very true. Should help shut up the "fans" who say that GS is not liked by players.
Good pickup...to bad he isn't a FS. I thought Izien at SS was one of the better performers this past season. They need to figure out how to get them on the field together. Izien's tackling is very good
I stand by post...Izien is a good tackler. Missed tackles by safeties is usually a result of being out of position , which leads to bad angles. Good coaching will clean that up. Usually when in position to make the tackle Izien did pretty well
As other have alluded to, this is not your typical can’t crack the two deep transfer. This guy was good his sophomore year and won the rose bowl mvp. He has all big 10 potential.
I am a bit intrigued by his current situation though. If he is going the grad transfer route, I’m assuming he will need to stay for spring semester? Why leave the team when you have a chance to win a championship? I wonder if the people in the blackshear thread will come here to denounce his “quitting”.

Nice info, thanks! And good luck in the CFP!
You can tell Brendon White is a great pickup: The resident Star Ledger troll set up four more NICs today.
Ya well, if you are not taking summer classes, you are not finishing school in 4 years taking 12 credits a semester.
I would know as it took me about 12 years to graduate.
Let's say he got confirmation he met all the requirements today to graduate. If he wanted to be here for spring semester when would he have to apply by?
Edit: for football I'm pretty sure they could get him processed in days, so doubt this is reason. Maybe he told coaches and they told him he won't be on the playoff team?
I think from a Rutgers perspective, the legit concern with Blackshear, as opposed to White, is he quit on Rutgers, and some of the returning players may hold resentment against him.
We as fans should welcome White as well as Blackshear if they decide to play here.
Has one year left and might sit out next year due to transfer rules. His father has ALS which could impact a hardship waiver.
Empire Writes Back
Rutgers Schiano pulls an ace, does he have another up his sleeve?
