@Richie. It’s expected considering the current state of the team but how much does this realistically hurt RU? Can they just get someone comparable in the portal and this isn’t a big deal?

He had an offer from Georgia which is like DL Central. Everybody wants hard-to-find OL/DL and the idea you just go buy one is the same idea everybody has. As a B1G team in the northeast RU should be more attractive than it is. That's why RU needs a change. GS regime is more lemon than juice.

Someone came in with a bigger bag. That is SEC Country. We need to raise our offer if we want to keep him.

Actually, the Rutgers football program has been way more lemon than juice since Dick Anderson and the move to The Big Time. Schiano has by far been the best at recruiting here, and that's mostly because the rest of the RU head coaches since Anderson have been awful at it. Although RU plays in a state with a good amount of quality high school football prospects, it's success at keeping them at home and playing for the state university has been pathetic. New Jersey kids for the most part don't wanna stay home. And the truly elite prospects nationwide would rather play for Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, or even USC over Rutgers.
It's easy to see why that is so. And how difficult that is to overcome.
GS1 might have been the only chance RU ever had at overcoming that.

When Schiano brought in Jeff Hafley as an assistant during 1.0 there was a real chance for Rutgers to reach the next level. For a short time, they kept more real local prospects (including Eastern Pa.) than has happened before or since. But he went to the NFL and took Hafley with him. He's now the HC of the Dolphins.

GS recruiting has been lopsided. WRs and RBs fall from the sky with GS in charge. OL in particular though has been slack. OL "is the straw that stirs the drink" as Reggie Jackson would say. Greg had some good OL players in BE but rarely enough. In the B1G, recruiting has been weak at a time when its was needed more. Nobody can do well in the B1G without great OL/DL talent - the B1G is BIG and known for stud lineman. I watch OL in UMass game and it was like a circus clown car with guys running around lost and enfeebled.

Of course QB has been another problem. After Freshman AA Tom Savage's implosion (caused in part by bad OL) its been a hard position to feel confident about. I gave-up caring about NJ players after Saquon. Dude said RU was his dream and Rutgers couldn't get him. Think about that - Rutgers was the fav team of Saquon Barkley growing up. Fact is RU's best players (like Duff) have often been coming from NY. I'm sure SU cries about not keeping NY players.

Not what Dennis said. Said it was uncertainty of program and staff.
But I guess he lied to this site.

Smart young man. I wonder what side of the fence he is on. A: I hope the current staff gets fired (all 120 of them). or B: I like Coach Schiano and that's who I committed to.

WR and RBs are the easiest position to recruit. They are everywhere
