This is a pretty bad rate to be losing recruits at.

Unless Greg goes, Keli (or the university itself depending on how office politics and hierarchy go) is allowing the program to deteriorate by not making the key staffing changes we need. We could be stuck as a mid level MAC team for the next few years if something doesn't give.

When you're losing, no one really wants to be there.
When you're looked on as a winner or thought to have the potential to turn into a winner, talent drifts towards you.
Rutgers is back to being labeled a loser, without being able to change and that drives talent away.
Schiano has lost his recruiting edge, because he's now considered more of a loser than one who can build a winner

They're both only 3-star, but I don't think any 4-stars are committed.

Plus, these guys don’t know who they’ll be playing for at Rutgers next season.
