I just watched the video of Marcus Brown... love the lick he put on the defender... ooo-ff!.. would love to see him in the middle of our OL at OG... We still need help at OT but an OG like that would do wonders for our run game... he looks like a man-child
 
A glaring need we have for this class (IMO) is finding a playmaker for our return game.... We currently have NO ONE on this current squad that has that ability. Arkeel's the only threat on KOR's but that's it.. nothing else. Do any of the kids we got verbals from already or are still trying to recruit provide such ability?

Huge difference in return games from high school to D1 football - I'm not convinced what you see now is what you get in the future. Speed, vision and good hands/ball security are starting points but not everyone w/ the aforementioned skills can be returners.
 
OK, so how did we get the Larry Taylors, Nick Williams, Rob Freys of the world? What do we have now that convinces you we currently have that now that can potentially translate to our team going forward? Because, right now, that part of our game is lacking way too much.

They weren't that good at returning until their junior/senior year....it takes time

It also takes a squad that can block as well....not all on the returner, unless of course you're tavon austin
 
Larry Taylor, if I recall was pretty good for awhile for us with PR and KOR, especially PR...

but, you're right, we gotta block for the returners, which, for the most part, has been non-existent... God awful to be honest.. Is that coaching? or lack of talent to perform such task?

He was good as as freshman.

One of the best kickoff return high school highlight reels was Reggie McClain's . And he ended up playing D.

Didn't he do some PR and KOR for us at one point? I'm certain he did... but he just didn't end up being the best guy for the job... we need to find that guy or those guys... Our primary RB isn't the answer (my opinion).. We all know Arkeel has that ability but he needs to not be overused like he is now. Somebody's gotta step up from what we have... or we recruit a kid with that "special" ability. We did with Larry Taylor and Nick Williams (clearly).. We can find another.

He did. He took a punt return to the House against Cincy. It was a game we lost like 47-45, and they went on to an undefeated regular season before losing to Florida in a bowl game.
 


Should look into this kid as a walk on...Sean Kelly from Bacon Academy in Colchester. Watched him play today and he was really impressive, albeit not against the stiffest competition. Moves well in the pocket and had great accuracy on deep balls. Why not?

Really hoping we can snag a couple kids from this mess. With so many coaching changes, this is prime time for programs to snag ex-coaches recruits.

I don't want any kid who, in their right mind, would commit to Rutgers in the first place......


Kidding, sort of :rolleyes:

Thought I heard K. Coleman was no longer in mix but...
 
Why is it that other schools seem to always have an "open" period when it comes to recruiting? ( i.e. Michigan, or Auburn, which had a few of our targets at their game this past weekend.. Donald Stewart and Rashan Gary(sp?) )

We've had targets at recent games. We just don't have Rivals reporters covering it.
