We do go down to NJ but not nearly like we used to.  We seem to be very specific to kids we target down there and the high profile NJ kids we want, we're losing to Pedo St.  Kids like Rondi, Taj Harris and maybe Lowery would've been targeted by Schiano I have no doubt.  DeVito to.  But would we lose them?  IDK, if we did it would have little impact on our team save DeVito but they weren't going to play for Rutgers.

Also, Schiano has historically run a pro style power-i offense with an aggressive attacking D, so he'd likely be looking for a different kind of kid on both sides of the ball.  I do suspect he'll want to run a limited spread RPO offense moving forward but we're just not going to cross paths on the kids he's looking for.  When you go up and down the geography of our commitment list there are very few kids Schiano would've been involved with.  I'd be more worried about the Canadian pipeline, otherwise he just won't impact us.

I do agree his ship has sailed.  He won't have the Florida impact that he once had because he's been removed from that for 10 years and his world at Rutgers just became a whole lot tougher.  Where he trashed us and BC and Pitt he just won't have that same ability against the Big 10, especially while being pummeled by his division.  The worm turned for Syracuse when he beat Pasqualoni in 2003.  We were his biggest threat and we were so bad back then, it was just a perfect storm.  He doesn't have that anymore.
