Diversity matters unless you are a racist.

I don't mean to derail the thread... but racial diversity only matters if you're going to make assumptions about the content of character, worldview, and thought processes. To do that- to assume that someone thinks differently from you because of their skin color...well I think that's kind've racist.

Should we assume you applied to a significant number of historical black universities?

I’m going to make the assumption different races have different world views. Guess I’m kind’ enough racist that way.

The last three years, Ash recruited alot of good football players and laid a strong foundation. He just didn't win. Schiano, knows this, and is adding where they need help and overall. People will be shocked how quickly Greg will make RU game competitive.

Berger would make a great slot/H-Back where he can get the ball a number of ways. Looking forward to see how Greg finishes out this class.

Ash’s recruiting was off the charts awful.
I think GS knows, who his OC & RB coaches will be, but has to wait until coaches finish their bowl seasons. Thinking might share that info with a recruit like this?

Considering the diversity as well as the gender make up of a college is perfectly reasonable

Same as consideration given to the size, location, type of offense and a myriad of other factors

What is it with Don Bosco recruiting threads that gets everyone so off topic? First it's Taylor Swift on the Kyle Monangai thread and now this. Thanks for killing another one boys.

Lol your right, the eagles front seven is something Taylor ran thru his whole career at Wisconsin. You win.

Zeke is good but there others of similar or better ability. He has been fortunate to run behind a great oline at OSU and throughout his career with the Cowboys. Usually he doesn't get touched or encounter resistance until he reaches the 2nd level.

Jonathan Taylor is not Zeke. Zeke is on another level.

Zeke is a hammer but has no moves. Can be stopped if your defense can rise up to his level of physicality. Easier said than done but that's what the Eagles did yesterday.

It’s levels to this. Jonathan Taylor is not even the best back in the upcoming draft. Have you seen DeAndre Swift, Najee Harris or Eno Benjamin? JK Dobbins is better.

I wasnt defending Taylor, my point was about Zeke benefitting from his very good oline. Same goes for Taylor

Stop it with the Eagles front 7 excuse. He had a line with 3 pro bowlers. (The same 3 players will also end up in the HOF.) He took himself out of a play (which is ok but I just don't expect it from a "feed me" guy.) I never said that Taylor was better than Zeke; I was just talking about yesterday (well now Sunday). You did see that word right? And yes, I do believe that if you put a Cowboys uniform on Taylor for the Eagles game. He would have put up better numbers for that one game compared to what Zeke did. Zeke simply did not come to play.

I can’t wait until Taylor gets that welcome to the NFL hit. The kid doesn’t even get touched on a consistent basis. He doesn’t see the defenses that your running back Pacheco sees. Damn kid still ran for 700 plus yards behind your chicken **** line. That’s talent. I think he’s better than Taylor.

I agree that Taylor doesn't get hit that often unless its dbacks in the secondary but dude is built to take it and I have no doubt he can and will. Also agree that Pacheco is a very good running back and hope he gets to run behind a true B1G oline at RU during his career.
