2019 : 53 : 2-10
2020 : 67 : Schiano comes back : 3-6
2021 : 32 : 5-7
2022 : 38 : 4-8
2023 : 62 : 6-6

2025 : 30
2026 : 29 so far

Football Games : first 3 years had losing records. Talent level was dismal. Last 2 years got us back to respectability on the field.
Recruiting : Not counting 2020 when if i recall he came into a dead period and had a few weeks to salvage the class, we are averaging a Rank 39 class even with the 2023 outlier. I know NIL has put Rutgers at a disadvantage to some programs, hopefully B10 Revenue sharing can help us some.

I got to believe that we will crack top 30 in recruiting ranking and get a 8-4(B10 5-4) record in the next 3 years.
Schiano 1.0 best recruiting years were 2011/2012 with ranks 32/24

Hoping we can get to 7-5 this year which will be tough with only 4 B10 home games and Oregon, PSU and OSU on the schedule..... but maybe with a winning record and an upset we can get a 25ish ranked recruiting class. Anyone think there is any chance at this? at least a 40% chance?
