Recruiting ‘24

[zebnatto]

It’s June 27. Bunch of ‘24 recruits this week.

What to of make of it? The makings of a quality B1G class, or still lagging behind.

Step in the right direction, probably approximately a top 30 class in the upper half of big ten recruiting, some of these kids will probably be 4 stars by the end of their seasons. It going to be tough to be much better until we win more games than we lose, need to be in the middle of the big ten W/L.
Like the geo diversity of the class, RU seems to be more attractive to out of state kids and appreciate RU's top 50 national academic ranking and the job opportunities in the NE corridor. Plus Florida and Georgia have way more talent than NJ. Looks like GS finally got the staff straight from both a recruiting coaching perspective.
I think it has taken too long to get the right people on the staff, but hopefully this is fixed now.

Seems like a pretty GOOD class - and maybe the best we could hope for considering what we have shown on the field - its not a “monster class” as one particular poster called it but we can’t expect that.

Will be interested to see what the coaching staff will do with the class (and if they’re still gonna be around by the time these kids are soph, jun, seniors….)

Winning some big ten games is the next step, this will further improve recruiting opportunities. RU's issue is you have to string together multiple good classes to really improve your on the field performance. The other teams in the league are not going to stop and wait for us to catch up. Realistically we must recruit and coach well enough to compete in the middle of the league in order to take the next step. There is a huge talent gap between the top of the league and the rest of the league.

Just good to see that the trajectory is is trending up. When will we see an improvement on the field is still a B1G question mark. Hopefully this season.
