Not a good decommit. Two brothers on the team. I know they haven’t been playing much lately. Maybe that and the losses have to do with it. Don’t be shocked if he ends up at BC or Cuse. He has the talent to play at that level.

Why are you slighting Army and Buffalo? One team destroyed us and the other would surely beat us as well. Army is headed towards another Bowl game and Buffalo will play in one also.

If Hayek goes to UB and plays under Leipold he is hardly making a poor decision by decomitting from Rutgers and choosing to do so.
Read the thread. Not slighting either of those teams. I responded to the poster who's said he will go to Buffalo. Either of those programs are better options than RU right now.

I am tired of reading these two things on this board at the same time:

-Ash can’t be fired because we owe him too much money

- Hobbs shouldn’t be fired over botching the football coaching hire because he is such a good fundraiser.

Both those things can’t be true.

Very good post. You used logic, which doesn’t happen around here too often.

I think it is strange for him to decommit because Rutgers would do good for him even if the team wasn't winning. His offer list isn't that great.
Give me a break. If your son played football would you let him commit to chris ash? This program is an absolute dumpster fire. It’s over for ash. He will never get it going here. Time to start over.

People shouldn't extrapolate on this, not yet anyway.

Hayek family probably is not too happy over their kids lack of playing time. Hunter has been passed on the depth chart, and Tyler is buried on it. Like one board poster said recently, they likely just aren't FBS material.

Not FBS material? They sound perfect for Rutgers then.

We're at the point now, Hoob needs to cut Ash off at the knees and not allow further offers.

Keep your word and bring the guys you offered (they verbaled). But DEAR GOD do NOT allow him to offer 2 or 1 star kids just to bring in 15 to 20 guys.


Save the scholies for the next coach, even if that means we only have 40 guys on scholarship

These kids got to stop begging for "respect".. demanding "respect".

Saying "Please respect my decision" has appeared in so many of these things.. when did that become a "thing"?

This is more it. Both brothers buried on a depth chart where some younger playmakers are starting to emerge.

Who said this?
Veterans of the board will recall that it's a quote from a poster here named Mr.Treeman that I used as my signature for a long time.
He posted it about Greg Schiano back in 2004, when it looked to him like GS wasn't gonna win here.
I thought it was appropriate to post it now.
Yup. Remember that well.
Look I get Ash has underperformed so far, but if you look at the two deep that is evolving, it is his folks, they seem to show potential, and yes, they are young.

I would love to see Ash fired before the next game. Let's see what the OC can do as interim HC. As for Hobbs, I would give him one more chance at the right hire. He nailed it on the b-ball HC.
Agree big time with this...Ash is dead man walking because he **** on Jersey when he got here and can’t recruit.

So, where's he going? Colgate, Fordham or UMass?

Bad News: He decommitted
Good News: No great loss

Seriously. Players of that caliber is why Rutgers is getting blown out by teams like Kansas and Buffalo.

And if that's the best Ash can do in a state that has tremendous talent and plays in the B1G, then Ash has to go. Period. I know that's harsh. But it's true.

Ok, so the kid is bum, his brothers are bums, so that is at least one and maybe as many as three scholarships freed up. So what? It is not like these kids are going to be replaced by anybody better, if you are telling me that we have 4 star recruits just waiting for these scholarships to open up, then yes, this is a positive development. However, we all know that is not the case and in fact the kids next in line are probably not even as good. I couldn't care less about these brothers, what I care about is the failure of Chris Ash to recruit top talent and coach the kids that are here no matter what their abilities.

You obviously don't respect his wishes. What's the problem?

Army's kicking butt with those players. Army's recruiting ranking (TOS) for last 5 years =

2014 = 124th
2015 = 125th
2016 = 119th
2017= 118th
2018 = 117th


I used to make little of those recruits from Colgate, Bucknell, UMass etc - but its those recruits that Monken has molded into a team that would steamroll RU. Gary Patterson, Monken etc they know how to spot raw material to build into football players. They don't need all the 4 and 5 stars, Schiano was a little like that in that he built a top secondary with a bunch of nobodies who all lived with 30 minutes of Tappan Zee Bridge.

Feel free to explain how he did that because many coaches in NJ also support him. NJ HS coaches are fickle to begin with.
