    Opinion: The season being shortened/suspended would benefit Rutgers Football

    What I think you might be overlooking is that the same would happen to every other program we play against. Most of them have upperclassmen at starting positions that would age out just as we would. But given that their upperclassmen are largely better than our upperclassmen (based on previous...

    Opinion: The season being shortened/suspended would benefit Rutgers Football

    Nobody wants the season to be cancelled, but I think OP is right that if it was it would probably benefit RU. It would let one more cycle of Ash recruits cycle out and another much higher level of Schiano recruits cycle in. It would be a net upgrade of talent relative to our competition. I...

    Transfer Portal: Houston QB King

    This was very obvious all along, I thought. And from the time it first broke that he was sitting, I thought he'd be the next in line at Oklahoma. Given their recent QB success, why look elsewhere? I'd be happy for Arkansas if they could reel him in though.

    Artur can be the next Joe Burrow

    Vintage Rutgers Al. Feels like everything that's old is new again around here these days.

    Football Robb Smith named DC

    His resume is a mixed bag. I'm not too torn up about losing Anthony--at the very beginning of this new era there was a thread about whether Fran or Anthony would be a better choice as DC, and I (along with a majority of others) thought Fran would be the better pick because Anthony's recruiting...

    Anthony Campanile -NFL Bound-To The Fish

    Both are true--it's not good optics to miss on a highly regarded candidate, but at the same time the impact on the team won't be that great. We have a great defensive staff already, led by Greg himself, with or without AC. I'm sure there's a plan B in place but it'll be interesting to see what...

    Major recruiting war for Campanile

    First of many recruiting battles between Greg and Hafley for a NJ talent. Let's set the tone. I've always felt that success for RU started with establishing ourselves as clearly superior to the mid and lower level FBS programs in the region, and that means we need to outrecruit the Temples and...

    Football Sean Gleeson to Rutgers as OC/QB coach

    Homerun hire. The staff Greg is putting together is absolutely first-class and exactly what we need to establish ourselves as a legitimate program at this level.

    Football Sean Gleeson to Rutgers as OC/QB coach

    Homerun hire. Greg's staff is shaping up as well as we possibly could have hoped.

    Football Transfer DB Brendon White Committed!

    Great get. Does he have to sit out a year?

    Bob Fraser on staff again

    I don't necessarily disagree re: Anthony--seems like it may have happened by now if it was going to, and he obviously has choices. I guess it still could but every day that passes makes it seem less likely. But if not him, who is our DC? Does Fran get bumped up from co-DC to DC and Secondary...

    Bob Fraser on staff again

    What position group will he coach? Linebackers? And if so does that mean anything with regard to the idea that we might hire Ant Campanile as LB Coach and Co-DC?

    Interesting Position Designations in new class

    Powell is where I thought he'd be, and Konopka at TE is probably what I would have guessed if I were betting (with potential to move in to OT down the line if he fills out). But I agree I thought Long and Longerbeam would be switched. Long is one of the best WRs in the history of NJ high...

    Football Jim Panagos back as DL coach

    Robinson would have been great but we can't expect to bat 1.000 from the wishlist. Panagos is still a quality hire who gets the culture and will do well IMHO. Still hope we can get Anthony as LB Coach/Co-DC (with Fran) but not sure what the hold up is at this point. If it doesn't come to pass...

    Poll: A Camp or Fran Brown for DC?

    I would be thrilled with either, but slight edge to Fran just because he is so strong in a different part of the state. Ant's strongest recruiting area would theoretically be redundant with his brother's.
