Crazy....NINE decommits?! I'm not crazy enough to say RU is a "joke" or anything, but boy, they have provided a LOT of entertainment over the years & they still seem to be poised to continue that pattern. It's like there is no one more intent on continuing the old, tired stereotypes of Jersey than SUNJ itself.
 
Always wary in the days of Photoshop but...

“@Mike_Vorkunov: Not a good sight for #Rutgers RT @SigningDayKyle: Saeed Blacknall spotted at Penn State with coach @coachjfranklin.

Blacknall is as good as gone. He will end up at PSU, Rutgers has had 4 or 5 OC in as many years. They still have vacancies at the DC, OC and QB coach positions. They had an amazing class at the start, it's still solid, but it could have been top 25

Dre Boggs CB from avon ct is now a soft verbal with his visit to wisconsin. How did we miss offering this kid? was he that far under the radar?

They need to do a better job w/ kids that come from OOS to do a PG year @ the Avons/Salisburys/Choates/Cheshire Acad., etc... It seems like if you don't have the relationship before they get here - you are @ a distinct disadvantage.

Strange hearing about Cheshire Academy football as I am pretty sure they did not even have a team in the 1980’s. Though, I do distinctly remember watching their basketball team, which was loaded with D1 preps, put on a clinic as they ripped my high school team every year. It was something to watch.
 
Rutgers' commit Pete Mokwuah has scheduled an official vist to Notre Dame on 1/31/14.

another one bites the dust, more to come without an OC or DC on staff yet. Kelly with his trophy

there are, the PSU premium board put the best posts in one thread,  will repost it in the morning, too tired. a couple of guys said they were not going to renew their season tickets and most blame coach Flood for not having an OC or DC in place.
 
What I find strange is that their entire board wants Flood fired. Post about it everyday, post how he is gone after this year, but wonder why all the decommits. If you were a recruit with options and had no idea who your coach was going to be, would you sign there?

If Flood is a lame duck, you just have to accept the decommits and temporary hit. The irony is Flood was kept on to SAVE the recruiting class with Caroo and Hamilton, etc.

Well we had a somewhat similar situation last year with PP...yet we had a good class come in. The odd thing with Rutgers is, they're entering the B1G next season, so wouldn't you think that the higher rated recruits would want to be a part of that? My guess is that they must really feel there is a lack of leadership there now...and that it won't be resolved anytime soon. The significant delay in naming new coordinators is just reinforcing that impression.

Depends on your metric, i guess. RUs Current class, even with the decomitts, would probably still rank higher than Ps class, if you are using the recruiting sites as your barometer. Most of those kids are flipping to perceived, "bigger time" programs.

We all know the star system is flawed. If it wasnt no way we beat them two of the last three years. Still, they have traditionally done better than us at reeling in kids with more high profile offers.

Yes..I wasn't comparing the star ratings as much as I was referring to the number of decommits. We didn't seem to have anywhere near the number that they are experiencing. That's why there must be something else at work here besides just having a coach who's on borrowed time.
 
Wow. Rutgers is really heading into the B1G with a full head of steam. They should have parted ways with Flood. What scares me is when they do, they will probably look at Diaco.
 
The guy's been here a month, he's ecstatic about being here, he's become the face of UConn athletics, signed on for 5, and we already have a post worried about him leaving. Being a UConn fan can be draining.
