The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

Temple must be really bad.

They are, they are a half step ahead of Bowling Green and Akron, if that

Kid is a loser that never could have made it at a. Big school.

Aren't you supposed to use the Rutgers' fan quote after he decommits? Or are you just beating the Christmas rush?

It is INSANE to me that Abdul Adam’s is the 4th string RB. I’m not saying he should be higher, I’m saying that’s INSANE.

I watched him play in person at OU a few years ago, before he injured his ankle and lost the starting role. He was/is electric when he has a line. He has a line and I like all the RBs. HE should see teh field and spell Tucker.

If we beat Rutgers it will be with our RBs. Adam’s being 4th string is a big part of that.

I’ve never wanted anything more than a Duce Chesnut pick 6 on rutgers first pass attempt. “he’s too slow we didn’t want him” hahahahaha

How could this kid have enough credits to be cleared by the NCAA?

Sidenote I had no idea this kid was committed to Ruckers but he had one of the poorest showings at the Elite 11. Really struggled.

Wimsatt took extra, expedited courses in recent weeks to secure the necessary credits to graduate a few months earlier than expected — he originally planned to enroll at Rutgers in January. He completed his work this week in order to enter Rutgers by a mid-week deadline for schedule changes. Wimsatt is already listed as a student in the university directory and is expected to be en route to New Jersey by Sunday.

Shitano strikes again. Guy is a complete tool. Cant wait for next week. I just wish that NYS didnt have the tightest covid rules in the country. Hopefully we still get a packed Dome

So basically if a non athlete wanted to do this, would they do the same for the non athlete?

To add to that, his family approached RU about enrolling now, not the other way around

The family probably saw an opportunity to make the NIL money
And the player gets about 4 extra months with the program to adjust and learn the system

I guess we will see a lot more of this, players enrolling a year early, since courses can be taken on line and easier to finish up the requirements, and endorsement money looming now

I don't think a lot of players who normally should be high school seniors are ready for college ball, I doubt he sees the field much, maybe a few mop handoffs, limited to 4 games , while red shirting

So, he’s thinking his NIL will increase at Rutgers or

So what's he going to be, a walk-on. The NCAA has certain set signing periods to sign an NLI and receive an athletic scholarship.

 

[Dinkyspond]

I remember in Marrone's first year, it was late in the year and we were injury-ravaged and Rutgers came in ranked. We still manhandled them and won going away. That was a fun day.

He’s technically reclassified to 2021. NLI doesn’t even come into play anymore

 

[CuseLegacy]

They still have to sign an NLI but the date was extended this year to 8/1/2021.

Also he still has to be cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center in order to receive a scholarship and play.

Were his courses available to take online? I know for my kids, online classes aren't an option anymore. Same thing for my students. In NJ we stopped that at the end of last school year. I'm also curious about the questions CL brought up as well.

He signed financial aid papers. That takes the place of the NLI and he already cleared the NCAA

That's interesting, and a bit curious.

RUs finances are in as good as shape as you expected.

Oh crap, you mentioned Marrone doing well. That’s going to rile some people up. Ugh.

Was that the game Doug Hogue went absolutely ballistic and had some of the best hits I’d seen in a long time at that point? Who was the other LB that also had some great plays/hits?

I think we had 9 sacks? 10? Savage was hammered

I think it was the guy who recently was an assistant coach for Colgate, his name escapes me for the minute
