[QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4275453, member: 27"]
I have him as the 25th best player in the state for 2023.  6’4 185.  Good not great speed.  Offers from Army and LIU.

He is a tweener type.  Probably not fast enough to play safety or WR and not remotely heavy enough/strong enough to play LB or TE.

If he works his butt off, he could turn out to be a good player.  But it is not a given.  There are 10 or 15 players from NYS that are clearly P5 level players.  Brathwaite and Strong are not on that list.

Add them to the kid from Hudson Valley they took a couple of weeks ago that had the UConn offer and it looks like Schiano is taking B list players with some interesting qualities (Braithwaite is small and weak but he is fast) and hoping he can develop them.  Guessing he wants to sign a bunch of players relatively early in the class to try and convince P5 level players Rutgers is a place they should consider.

It isn’t unusual to take a flyer on a player or two at the end of the recruiting cycle, but it is really strange to be doing it near the start.

If I were a Rutgers fan, I would be concerned.
