Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMojo, post: 166775, member: 268"] Rutgers/Schiano had recruited Rice that year, but he chose to commit to SU. When P got fired, Schiano immediately called him up "to say he was sorry and make sure he was doing ok", well that and to invite him down to Rutgers to see if he'd be interested in playing down there instead now that he staff at SU he committed to was gone. So there was already a relationship there prior to the SU firing, and then he did immediately swoop in as soon as the news about Pasqualoni came out. Of course with the typical Schiano spin to try to make it seem like a magnanimous gesture instead of what it was - him simply trying to flip a very good prospect from a rival school to his own team.
