Right, but Fran Brown is all about New Jersey football, and is a NJ native. I'm not suggesting he WOULD go to Rutgers, just that it might be tempting, as a New Jersey native. I qualify that concern by acknowledging that I have zero visibility into Brown's thought process, or whether he'd consider leaving SU for any other northeast program.
What I'm HOPING is that he is comfortable here, and that he wants to continue building HERE, and that being in the northeast in a state adjacent to NJ satisfies him. I'd hate to lose him to a Penn State because of that being a blue chip program, or RU just because that's the big school in his home state.
That's all I'm saying.
I think he's showing through both the on-field results last year and on the recruiting trail that he can build a winner at Syracuse University, and I want to see that continue.
