Is this real life?! I've been laughing nonstop for the last 5 minutes.

Incredible.

 

[KemBuckets21]

This. Is. Absurd.

 

[superjohn]

This is amazing. Rutgers is the gift that keeps on giving. I fully expect Jalen Adams to have a huge year for the Scarlet Knights.

I have so many questions.

I've been following this on Twitter the last several minutes. They are being destroyed. Borges even just piled on.

Best part so far is their response:

Reading is fundamental.

Saw that, I guess they think no one got it? We get it, it is still dumb. And sad.

 

[HooperScooper]

OMG, that may be the most absurd recruiting tactic I've ever seen. I'm hoping nobody is buying any of that crap.

 

[HuskyFich]

They forgot Kemba!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Jim Calhoun left quite the legacy at Rutgers.

Props to UConn's marketing team for ramping up its #6thBorough campaign.

As Clyde used to say - in recruiting go with whatever works.

They should have said 'misleading is fundamental'.

 

[huskyniner]

Sterling is enjoying this.

Someone should tag the Big 12 quick and tell them a B1G school is taking credit for our players because they hired a couple of our alum.

[Robertelamin]

I guess it was that or tweet a picture of Quincy Douby, 1.4MM $$$!

 

[intlzncster]

How this steamy pile of dough is in the B1G is mind bottling (sic).

for all their faults - our AD and Foundation would long for "The Rutgers University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today announced a record-setting $30.3 million dollars in new gifts and pledges for fiscal year 2016, an 111% increase from the prior year and an 80.5% increase over the previous best of $16.8 million in 2010. The level of giving was bolstered by a record-high 9,233 donors."

 

[HuskyBandDad]

WOW just WOW. Say no more

 

[80shusky]

I can't imagine Steve Pikiell being all that happy about this.

*Wet blanket alert*

Can't we have one thread making fun of Rutgers or Louisville or whoever without someone chiming in with the "but they're still in a better position than us!!!" comment? We all know what position UConn is in. Just let people have occasional fun at other schools' expenses, especially when it's warranted.

Well now we know how Lewendowski is keeping himself busy.
