The reality is (for whatever reasons) that RU is significantly outperforming us on the recruiting trail presently.  I'm actually very surprised at how well they have done.  Of course that can all change by signing day but that is speculative.  I'm talking about right now.

They are currently ranked in the top 20 nationally in recruiting with the major recruiting sites and although commitment numbers do matter as to current ranking they are poised to bring in a Top 30 class in Year 1 of Ash.

As for guys we wanted that signed with RU I'll throw out Clark, Fogg, Fatukasi, Melton and Watts of the top of my head.  That list may include Hansard in the future as well.

More importantly for SU, Ash is locking down NJ this cycle and that could directly affect us in the future.  I would hate to see RU get back up out of the gutter before we have a chance to get back into NJ with a  strong presence.

I have no idea how it will all play out but imo its disingenuous for anyone to look at the 2017 recruiting cycle and say the gap is about 2 players.  Unfortunately, its much more than that to this point.
