well SJR89 is being optimistic in my book...not criticizing his optimism for Lord knows I hope he is right it is just that I think it will be to difficult for the administrators to allow a contact sport like football when you are reducing class instruction in order to allow for social distancing.. Look, the way I see it, if I were a president of one of these schools would I risk my job and the possibility of a Covid outbreak which would further reduce my ability to provide the real thing the institution is suppose to, Education?  The answer is no! Teaneck started, the other publics will begin to fall in line and the political pressure will be to much for the Admins at the privates to repel. I believe they will cancel soon after school starts. Just my opinion, I have no inside info.

@SJR89 is usually the opposite, he’s the last one I expected optimism,

 

 

if I was president, I’d look at how I get the most money from donors And alumni? By winning football games, and if your not playing those game that donor money doesn’t exist

Money is involved but there is also a lot of money in tuition and non-athletic giving. Many of the privates are inundated with applications because of their more enhanced capabilities to deliver an education remotely. Athletics are an important part but you are selling education first and foremost. Alumni giving will always be there, it's a Pandemic for crying out loud. One athlete gets sick (for however he got it) and trust me the Karen's and Kevin's will be all over Facebook trashing the school and the administration. I can hear it now, " I paid $ 20000 so my kid could learn and now they have to learn remotely because they just had to play sports". This is NY/NJ Good Boy!   Remember it is not friggin Georgia or Missouri.

im not in the loop, with college football closing shop and public’s too, what’s the outlook for our private brothers, I don’t see how we can have a season when colleges shut theirs down

Season 100% will be pushed back to April. They will announce it within the next two weeks. VERY RELIABLE SOURCE

And the Knights will still go 2-10 regardless. RU does send many to The League though. That’s their saving grace.

as previously mentioned...this is a 10 year year plan for RU and we will see immediate improvement in terms of talent, recruiting and yes wins....within 3yrs they will be in the middle of the big ten pack and fighting for a bowl spot....

If a 6-5 record and a bowl invite is the ultimate goal, so be it. They’ll never ever be a Top 25 team.

Kudos to the HC in NY 

understands kids gonna have to transfer to play football 

 

@HawgGoneIt get ready for some nation wide transfers as more schools close up shop

 

We have no schedule or idea what’s going on and kids are looking for some type of hope or plan right now,‘' said Neville, who will be entering his fifth season as head coach during the 2020-21 school year. “New Jersey has a plan and I can’t blame anyone (for looking to play elsewhere).‘'

Don't come to Rockdale county, Dougherty County or Clayton county. Expect that list to grow longer as well.

PC has a NYC football team. Atleast 10-11 transfers as we speak. Brought in a coach with NYC ties who is actively bringing in NYC talent. Should be interesting.

Hansen has really handled recruiting well since Savon Huggins left and I believe he is the reason many more players on the team are getting D1 Scholarships than years before.(aside from the state championship)

I should be paid by the star ledger --- article about Audric and Geno looking to play together in college day after my post -- maybe they read the thread and finally realized they both had 4 of the same for top 6

St. Joseph’s blue-chip, 4-star tandem could land at same school | Rutgers, Michigan State in the mix

Updated 2:26 PM; Today 1:30 PM

Geno VandeMark (73) is a four-star recruit.

Facebook Share

Twitter Share

By Todderick Hunt | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

St. Joseph Regional (Montvale, N.J.) boasts two four-star recruits and two of the top six players in the NJ.com Top 50: running back Audric Estime and offensive tackle Geno VanDeMark. The tandem could end up attending the same school and they have four schools in common within their respective top six lists.

“Our top six lists both share Michigan State, Rutgers, Arizona State, and Nebraska,” VanDeMark said. “We talk about going to school together very often.”

 

Michigan State

Hun (Princeton, N.J.) class of 2021 offensive lineman and NJ.com Top 50 member Kevin Wigenton II, whom Rutgers didn’t pursue, has been recruiting VanDeMark and Estime hard. And it’s apparently paid off.

 

What they said

 

“They have a fun new staff, I have a great relationship with O-line coach coach [Chris Kapilovic] and I feel a good vibe from the place,” VanDeMark said.

 

“They are a great historical program that is known to have big backs, like me, that are successful. And I have a great relationship with the staff and the running backs coach. They’ve been on me since they got the job at Michigan State, and I’ve been their top guy.”

Rutgers

Rutgers’ biggest draw is running backs coach Augie Hoffmann, who helped develop both players while serving as head coach of the Green Knights until last Winter.

 

What they said

 

“It’s obviously close to home, I have family ties, the potential to play early, and it has a great business school. And I have great relationship within the staff,” VanDeMark said.

“Rutgers is in the state where I play football and that would be cool to keep on doing it and have my family at all my games. Also, they have a great staff with head coach Greg Schiano, who is known for breeding NFL guys and making them better people when they are done. And with my old head coach there as the running backs coach, I know I would be in really good hands,” Estime said.

 

Arizona State

Both players could compete immediately at ASU, which boasts various freshmen and sophomores who have yet to establish themselves at their positions.

 

What they said

 

“They have a strong NFL pedigree, awesome football tradition, and I love their offensive scheme. It’s a beautiful place,” VanDeMark said.

 

“Arizona State is a great school with an electric offense,” Estime said. “They also have a great staff most of which came from the NFL. And that’s my goal -- to get to the highest level. So, I know If I go there, they would help me achieve that goal and become a better man on and off the field.”

 

Nebraska

The tradition at Nebraska looms large for both players as they ascend upon their final high school campaigns.

 

What they said

 

“I have a great relationship with their O-line coach, coach [Greg] Austin. Plus, they have an incredible tradition and elite business school,” VanDeMark said.

“They have great coaches that I have really good relationships with,” Estime said. “They were one of the first schools to recruit me early sophomore year and they have some coaches on their staff that are also Jersey guys.”

 

Synopsis: Being that both players have offers from these four schools gives them an edge. But VanDeMark and Estime could just as easily end up at separate institutions. Michigan State and Rutgers are perceived as two of the top choices at this time, and the Spartans are perceived to have really come on. However, both players are still open to all schools and haven’t confirmed announcement dates. So, we’ll just have to wait and see if the blue chips stay home or take their talents out of state.
