56th is not going to get us to a winning record in conference. We again will be 3-6 and finish 6-6. Whoopie do
much rather look bad early, but wind up looking good in the end.
I'll wait and not rush to judgement ,until the full class of 2027 is filled.
If a good class, the
will show and praise given to the staff
A poor class means and complaints about Schiano's recruiting

I've seen John Bateman and Frank Burns coached teams.
To quote Van Morrison "It's Too Late To Stop Now".
Besides, I was just making an observation on our class thus far.
Waiting for greatness ( as long as you have) can make one frustrated when the early recruiting rankings imply another year of using the old Brooklyn Dodger fan's line of " wait till next year" when looking at the results of this year and trying to put a positive spin on it
Doing that from Dr.John era and continuing to the almost Gorgeous Greg time, can make one start to lash out when they feel trouble is a brewing .
I understand how you feel when things don't look as good as hoped for.
Been there/done that, myself
I think the majority of us know that our recruiting will not pick up until we get a new coach that might energize the donor base. We just don't harp on it and are waiting for the years to tick off Schiano's contract to make it more palatable to eat. Until then, we hope for the best and be supportive.
these recruiting rankings don't mean much. Take the rankings with a grain of salt
Rankings going by the number of recruits is misleading, in my opinion .
The number of 4 & 5 star recruits is the way I gauge a successful recruiting class .
Look at the programs constantly in the top 10 and you'll see rosters filled with 4-5 star players coming out of high school.
But now the portal is a big driver of how good a team is , taking 3 star players coming out of HS that honed their skills elsewhere and putting then on the roster to make up a winning team..
So the recruiting rankings of players coming out of HS might not mean as much as before, but it ( based on star system) is a pretty fair judge of how a program should be.( in my opinion)
Why don't you wait for the recruiting sites to finish ranking guys before being an a$$hat. That usually happens some time in June and currently 5 commits don't have a rating yet so that skews things.#15 in the Big Ten at this point.
Some things never change.
BTW, the lowest-rated recruit currently in Ohio State's 2027 class is rated higher than the highest-rated recruit currently in Rutgers 2027 class.
Recruits aren’t turning down a bag and better facilities to come to Rutgers. Indiana spent $86M on their facilities before they hired Cignetti. They didn’t need to win first, they wrote the check first. They also gave him significant NIL to work with.
well the rankings are rarely right plus, when you just look at stats without real consideration for competition, it's a fail
way way too many experts say good when reality shows otherwise. Too many examples to cite
no one cares, ancient history. all that matters is now.
Schiano 2.0 is over. Let Keli develop financial pipelines and allow time to go by lessening his buy out. Hopefully we don’t get embarrassed too badly in the process
Best we can hope for at this point/.

Schiano is a waste of money and so are the recruits he’s bringing in that we are paying via rev share. Paying $30MM to get smoked
Spot on.#15 in the Big Ten at this point.

Some people bury their head in the sand. 2.0 is being shut out in NJ
We are competing with the MAC for recruits and winning ! lol
Rutgers is not spending anywhere near $30m...lol. You're fabricating stuff like RutgersAl now.
Maybe spend more time figuring out why your boy Brecht keeps getting smoker with last place, 2nd to last, and last place B1G finishes the last three years. Looking like a one hit wonder that the rest of lacrosse caught up with and passed on by.
I'm barely following H.S. recruiting anymore. I can only hope we filled enough roster holes with good enough transfers and R returnees are good enough--especially with a new QB-- to get us in a decent bowl game. It's about getting the right mix of transfers and returning players on a season-by-season basis now. Rinse and repeat. How many H.S. recruits will be around in 2-3 years?
We are being outspent in lacrosse significantly. Or were. Getting worked on now. Like football. But Brecht at least beats ranked teams and took the program to the pinnacle. More the. You can say for Schiano. Let’s get into the finances though. Football gets the lion lion share of the $21MM rev share. $17MM is what I heard. I have a hard time believing we don’t have $10MM+ for NIL considering Schiano gave 1 sub par DB $500K.
Be nicer to Brecht. He’s one of the best coaches we have. Rather have a 1 hit wonder than a 0 hit wonder. And besides he took another team to the quarters and has a ton of big wins along the way. Start following the team, you’ll be surprised. Or kindly FO. That works too.
Indiana spent 86M on facilities from 2008-18. RU spent 5x that in the same time frame.
Just because you say it doesn’t make it fact Al.
Just stepping back and looking at this
Coming off of a 5-7 record
Getting a defensive staff super late and even though they may end up being pretty good didn't move the needle as far as a splashy hire
The total lockout of coverage on the team as commanded by Greg
No spring game
Zero transfers that got the fanbase excited
Announced no blackout game
When we get a sup par recruiting class according to the on3's of the world, on top of everything else, you start to lose the fanbase. These kids we got this weekend may end up great, but the fans are trying to grasp at something, and they are getting nothing.
I'm not giving up on Greg, but he better produce soon or things will start to go in the wrong direction.

You mean the pathological liar lied again by leaving out the Rutgers stadium expansion over the same time frame or the monies spent from the B1G build fund?
You’re including the money Rutgers spent on stadium expansion, which has nothing to do with the student athlete experience. Rutgers spent
- $4M on the Hale Center locker rooms
-$1.6M on the Hale Center weight room
- $8M on the practice fields
Schiano said we needed a Fieldhouse, to recruit effectively, when he took the job and even had it written into his contract. Can’t blame him when there is no Fieldhouse and no NIL support.
Indiana spent $33M in 2008 and $53M in 2018 on facilities that directly benefit the student athlete.
The bottomline is we didn’t get the talent we needed to get to fortify the trenches. And we have a new QB. 6-6 is gonna be a push.
They already are deeply in the wrong direction.
this program and the fan base has drifted into apathy and irrelevance. As bad as the bottom half of the ACC teams. No excitement or hope from the fans. And it’s eroding an already bottom level alumni support base.
this program needs to beat a ranked team asap. It needs to have a prayer and excitement when any decent team comes to town. This all needs to happen fast but the drift continues towards total indifference by students and now even the hardcore fans.
The irony is so rich here and it's coming from a putz that continues to sputter nonsense.
What kind of idiot claims that a stadium expansion has nothing to do with the student athlete experience.
Adding more seats to cheer on the team has a direct impact on their experience. But you're just wanting to move goal posts as usual when countered with facts.
The 86 M you keep referencing includes stadium expansion and fan experience upgrades. So Rutgers stadium expansion didn’t directly benefit the student athlete? Digging deeper hole Al. Should have stopped when you were way behind.
You obviously aren't donating enough money!#15 in the Big Ten at this point.

Because it’s not reality. The 86M was spent 2 coaches ago on 2 separate projects beginning on 2008 and again in 2018 The same time period we put the addition on the stadium. And the 86M quotes was used to make renovations to the stadium to benefit “ all “ student athletes not just football. Also most of the money was for used for “fan experience” upgrades. Why didn’t that money benefit the other 2 coaches? Why did it take Indiana 16and 6 years to see a return on this investment?
Greg may be toast but our high school class of 2027 won’t be a factor in determining his fate. Outside of a small handful of a impact frosh that wouldn’t choose RU even if Urban Meyer was our coach, the HS classes of 27 won’t have an impact on our record for at least another 3 seasons. At which point, if we haven’t shown any progress - Greg will be gone. D next season has nowhere to go but up. We were close to dead last in FBS. Coaching will be better. Will the offense take major steps back without Athan? That’s the big question which will determine Greg’s fate over the next year or two. If we see only slight improvement on D and take a big step back on offense - this will be a rough season.
