if the implication hrre is ash did not invite any bc kids, bravo!
We know that he invited at least one BC kid let's let TH deal with this as we have seen what happens when fans get involved in this
Not involved at all. I follow T.Hunt and have nothing to do with BC or the kid. It is linked to a new feeds for TH that I get.
You can see it on the link, but remember he is in 9th grade........so not really about who he is.
Message is clear, you want to play for RU, you should transfer from BC to Bosco or one of the other schools or you can just go to Boston College if they offer you. In my opinion, BC is the one that has to start mending the fence with RU not the other way around. Based on junior day, there are plenty of great players in NJ without having to cater to BC.
Hopefully anyone who feels the need to weigh in first considers this is a 14-15 year old and stays away. No good can come of it.
Good
Let's keep it that way
Actions have consequences , even if you are a glorified gym teacher
Don't see any BC kids on this list:

Or on the NJ.com top 15.

Bergen has a very good sophomore qb that player varsity when jg hot hurt... Bergens fresmAn team is also loaded starting with josh mckenzie...i doubt that there were no bc kids invited on purpose or to send a message...that would just make things worSe
Ash was kind enough to offer a TE project from BC, was the kid's only Power 5 offer. Kid committed only to decommit a few days before NSD after BCU offered.
Let's see we had from what I read, about 160 kids to Junior Day from NJ, let's get another 100 from NY & PA, that gives us a target of ~250 top kids to go after, we just need 10% of those to commit and we are on our way! Let's say we have 25 ships to offer for next year, getting 10% here would be a great accomplishment.
Ash just letting everyone know the days of the RU coaching staff being afraid of offending HS coaches are over. This is how things are done, we are just not used to it.
GSGS -- One kid making a stupid move (probably for his 'dream school') results in scratching off a High School? I can't believe Ash would be so short sighted, especially if the HS had little to do with the kid's decision. Could it be that BC had no worthwhile Juniors (assuming sophs and frosh are not invited)? Is there bad blood between BC and RU?
I was thinking about this yesterday, so I looked this up:
On rankbyoffers.com, NO Bergen Catholic players are listed for 2017.......there are five for 2016. So maybe it's just a down year in terms of the junior class members having not had much of a chance to shine.
A lack of known FBS-level talent is more likely than Ash holding a grudge. After camps, BC kids will probably get offers.

DrMike,
For your 1st post you shouldn't be calling John Tsimis an idiot, that's not nice.
This thread is a train wreck in progress
We should not be at war with any schools here or in any state. I know the history but this is bull on both parties . Come on already. Let's keep religion and football recruiting separate where they should be
The mods have stated for years already that Bergen Catholic kids /athletes look down at RU, yet we still have fans believing that we should cater to them in recruiting. RU and BC will both survive if there isn't a connection in recruiting for football. RU should not recruit BC kids in my opinion....We have arrived in the B1G because of our potential and there are more than enough other schools we can recruit from. I don't see how RU has to continue to act small time and cater to them after the most recent events and the lack of respect from the BC side towards RU and RU football.
The onus is on BC to repair the relationship and to establish whatever needs to happen for their football kids that have a potential interest in playing at RU.

Just have to love it, a bunch of guys speculating about something they have no first hand information about and drawing conclusions that are just supposition. I am sure coach Ash and the RU staff are dealing with it and it will all work out.
Ash is a no nonsense guy that puts a lot of weight on character. BC has shown plenty in terms of character so don't expect Ash to do any favors for BC anytime soon. This is not about burning bridges, which he is not. He simply doesn't have time for their BS and their attitudes over there. BC needs Rutgers a lot more than we need BC.
Who gives a crap about BC. It's one little catholic school that produces kids who are full of themselves and aren't that good.
How many other highschools in and out of NJ can we get kids from? We're in the BIG10. The joke is on BC - let them keep going to BC.
