I don’t think it will cost 2 mil but it will be at least around 1.
UNC supposedly offered $2M and RU wasn’t far behind. VT initially dropped out but now he’s apparently going on a visit so no clue. I’m sure VT realized this is a once in a lifetime line-up w/ BB, MM, Konopka, Seidel, Fortier, etc. coming and if you add Knox it’s a top 3 program.

RU could take a lesson from VT as it wasn’t always about NIL. Let’s not forget they had Jayden James. Was a finalist for kids like Parentin and Sontz. They’ve been working Jersey including the privates like Delbarton. In PA all over Bishop McCourt. Grabbed Konopka from Green Farms Academy. Fortunately Goodale seems to have cracked Malvern Prep but needs to do more.

Has Goodale cracked Malvern Prep? Does that mean RU got a good chance with a soph ranked #6 at 144 named Matt O’Neil.. he’s gotta be top 10 p4p for his class or close to it..

Because the King of Redunance and Brilliance has spoken.
And the king of spelling proves his supposed scholar athlete thing he brags about was also a lie ....8th place because he choked and repeatedly misspells words which shows his scholar skills were also a joke ...if your are gonna use big words at least spell them right lol

Actually , I do voice activation , because typing is too important for a zero like you. Let's see how many all american plaques you have on your mantle. Or more likely your parents mantle, as you are most likely a south jersey, lowlife, basement dweller.

My guess is Matt O’Neill follows his brother to UNC.

I should have said Mytych cracked Malvern with Zalota and Farnsworth. That line up is loaded we should be all over Malvern and FCA if NJ privates not interested.

Your responses are so off base it continually gets more and more pathetic. Number one, this is about the fifth time you have confused me with what someone else said. Number two, according to your very own words and standards, I am a warrior. Thank you very much. This means so much coming from someone with your success. I am a real live warrior! Three, did you really just call police officers and public workers dodo brains? What a tool. Four, you are oh so wrong on my accomplishments.

Calm down Harley. Need Caly to come back and start talking lacrosse. Too quiet on that other thread.
Harley before you further denigrate Caliknight's contribution to the discussion he is a former lacrosse player and lacrosse insider for Rutgers. He posts tons (or used to until recently) excellent material on the Rutgers lacrosse team and program.

Brilliant deduction lol
Sorry, I don't know anything about the situation and that information was just told to me. Sounded better than the kid not wanting to come to RU at all. Sorry for posting it.

I didn't denigrate anybody all I did was say he stated the obvious which we all know it's coming down to NIL

As I said in my first post, I don't know anything about wrestling. I saw the kid's name was mentioned and I thought it might be of interest considering who told me. I haven't read the thread and have no idea what you or anyone else knows. Simmer down, it's just information, even if you knew it already.

Only three exclamation points and no bombs. Knox would be a nuclear explosion, wouldn't he? Do we need a Gen Z er to translate?

Would us getting Knox change Farnsworth's mind? Doesn't he wrestle at 113? I know, 1st world problems.
That’s a valid concern. They both seem like career 125er. Maybe Knox could grow into 33.. and remember we still have Ayden Smith for another 3+ years whos likely is a career 125.

With a situation like Know, he would be eligible immediately (provided grades are good enough), right? If that's the case, does RU get him into the mix right away or redshirt?

If it’s not Knox who could it be?? Maybe it is Knox but Goodale doesn’t want to be too obvious with the “BOOM!!!”

Get him on the mat as soon as you can. No point waiting. Try and maximize his presence as soon as possible with recruiting. If he can come in and have immediate success, you can build on it in recruiting. Plus, sitting around and not competing allows for a lack of focus. If you are just practicing and know that you wont compete you are not the same mindset. If he sits you are still paying his NIL. Why waste it.

Would be immediately eligible, was never enrolled at Cornell.
He’d be instantly eligible and they shouldn’t even consider a redshirt because he’s AA caliber already, and he’d likely transfer after a redshirt +3 years anyway.
