It came out just before kickoff that the junior running back decided he’d rather redshirt than take more beatings this fall —following the lead of starting quarterback Art Sitkowski, who pulled the plug on the 2019 season earlier this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Let’s try to stand in the shoes of all stakeholders here. Put yourselves in Sitkowsi’s shoes. He had become a human pinata, pounded behind a porous offensive line. Have you seen some of the whacks he took this fall? Then his head coach and his offensive coordinator got ousted. The program is in chaos, getting stampeded weekly, the butt of jokes and memes. Should he put his health on the line for that, especially in an era when college stars are skipping bowl games — bowl games! — for fear of injury?

That is next years coach. No way their firing Nunzio until he gets One chance to see what he got when it comes to recruiting, that’s the whole reason I think that’s the reason he’s head coach, because he’s got an idea nationally and in his own state on what High schools got the best players, CHRIS ash thought the best players in the world are from South Jersey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 It's time to stop the madness.. Rutgers currently has the #89 rated recruiting class which ranks last in the Big 10.....you can't do much with that especially in a Power 5 league....people are seriously going to start getting hurt. No depth whatsover. 10 total commits. https://247sports.com/college/rutgers/Season/2020-Football/Commits/ 2019 Rutgers ranked last in the Big 10 as well. Perspective: Tulane currently has the #47 ranked class and is ranked #1 in the AAC. 23 commits https://247sports.com/college/tulane/Season/2020-Football/Commits/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a much tougher job now. This isn't true at all.... Louisville was legit w brohm at qb, wvu w rich rod had pat white and steve slayton, USF was really good under leavett….. dantonio was at cincy. The conference was very good.... . The big east prob had 3 of the top 12 teams in the country in 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to hit a homerun with this hire or they may as well drop foosball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have to be smart and seek out players that are potentially underrated and not getting all the looks of the big schools. There are many of those all over the country. Imo these guys get too caught up in flirting with and recruiting kids they'll never get and miss the solid talent that's right under everyone's nose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only rutgers isn't recruiting vs those schools. rutgers is recruiting vs Temple and those type schools mainly in the East. Even Temple (AAC) is kicking rutgers ass in recruiting this year. Temple has 7 recruits from nj.

sausmann9 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Rutgers needs to leave the B10 and get w/ Temple, Pitt, Syracuse, Grayson, Boston College, West Virginia, Buffalo, Virginia, Ga Tech, Kentucky, and Memphis to form a different type of ACC. Hate seeing any school like that getting thumped every week. Rutgers could be competitive in a smaller league for sure but this bullshit is just demoralizing and a waste of time and health.
