Clark to RU

Hell of a get guys. Love seeing Ash do well on the recruiting front so far. I hope it continues.
You guys "cooled on him" because he passed on you guys. Don't try to spin it. Just say congrats and move on.
Turn on your sarcasm meter.
The best part of this commit is that its early in the recruiting season and not on LOI day. Lots of time to lead others onto the train.
In my view, this commitment is bigger than Anthony Davis selecting RU over Ohio State due to the timing (assuming it holds, have to put that in as a RU fan). His commitment comes with a majority of the top NJ recruits still considering RU so it has to have a positive influence. Davis committed at an all star game late in the process when most recruits were already far along in their processes. Pied piper effect. Very happy right now!
Yes, maybe someone else remembers differently, but this may be the earliest+best recruit ever.
Welcome! Its such a relief to see the cream of the crop show true leadership and rep their state. Let's hope the momentum continues.
This guy Chris Ash isn't from the east coast or Jersey, doesn't know Jersey, doesn't know the HS coaches, doesn't know Jersey culture, isn't a proven recruiter........did I forget anything else the nah sayers were sayin.......just sayin man.
Whether Beatty is a 5* recruit or a I-AA guy, offering him was an excellent decision.
Trust me, all the ney Sayers are very happy they are being proven wrong. It's a good day to be an RU fan, whether you were for the hire or down on it, doesn't matter.
Ding, Fing, ding! Listen, if you can recruit and you can sell your vision top Nj kids will come here! Schiano got them to do it while in the Big East! Ash will do it now!
Great point - we're all Rutgers fans. I'm sure even the Flood supporters are happy. I wanted Flood gone 2 years earlier, but when Ash was hired, I was "cautiously optimistic," i.e., I didn't really know enough about him to judge how he'd do. Obviously, he's off to a fabulous start on the recruiting trail and with the coaching staff and the current players, by most accounts.
I think as long as we show some improvement, meaning more energy, playing a little smarter, and limiting off-field embarrassments (and doing at least a little better than 4-8, especially including reducing the blowouts), I think the positive momentum will continue and the program will continue to get better and better. We all know what's possible here at Rutgers with the geographical/demographic gifts we've been blessed with. It's really time, now.
Why? Last time I checked, NJ coaches are like every other coach in the country... They like sincere, genuine, passionate people like Ash. This "Jersey" coaches only prefer "Jersey" guys is utterly stupid.
My one and only apology ever to a psu fan not related by marriage, there are some people on here that dont understand humor...sorry.
Agree. 15 years ago, after Shea, I would have disagreed but it's a completely different ballgame right now and that was far from a "must" when this staff was hired.
HOLY SH*T!! -This is HUGE, MAJOR, B1G, BEYOND FANTASTIC...oh, and did I mention this is HUGE????!!!!
