He comes to the right conclusion. There are three guys who went to another school and became stars Taylor, Barkley and Njoku. Everyone else is kind of a role player on whatever school they went to. Marsette and Bryce Watts would probably be starting right now. Saeed Blacknall would be our #1 receiver. Lovett starts but Baylor is worse than Rutgers.Pete Mokwuah would've probably saw action here. Maybe Kiy Hester doesn't even play at Miami. But he gets to start at Rutgers he had a pick 6 against Nebraska. I know its' a different situation but Gus Edwards gets to come to Rutgers and be the lead back. If he wants to try for the NFL, he's got film in the best conference. I think the grass isn't always greener on the other side. For every Saquon Barkley, theres 5 kids who decommit and do jackshit where they go.

I am happy for you that you can read that article and come to that upbeat conclusion, when RU suffers desperately from lack of depth and lack of talent.
