2013 Off-Season:
Off-Season Recruiting:
Week One:
Aright boys. Let's do this. I have 14 scholarships left to give out, and I have exactly 14 players on my board. Only four of them don't have me listed as their #1, and all four have me at #2. Looking good.
I start out by setting up some home visits with players that are ready for them.
After that, I still have about an hour left, so I spend some time with players that are on the bubble.
Week Two:
We open up the week with a ton of committments! We welcome the following players to Rutgers:
4* CB Monte Doucette
4* ATH Alan Anderson
3* G Mike Smith
3* MLB Joel Moses
3* T David Abdullah
3* T Walter Frank
2* FB Mike Davis
First thing I do after that is try and get the two players who don't have me listed as #1 on board. I spent the other 5 hours pitching to players that I'm fairly confident about.
Week Three:
Hm. We open up with only one committment, this one from 2* DE Carl Carr. Welcome Carl!
Damn! We then find out that 4* QB Joe Berg is going to Maryland. Damn it!
Other than that, things look good. The 5 players left all have me #1. I may try and find one more player to add to the list and go for a last minute committment. We add 2* DT J Mann. Such a cool name.
FYI, I updated the list below in case I missed updating any signings.
Week Four:
The week starts by learning that we got two more committments.
4* DE Richard Schlicher
3* QB Keith Patterson
Welcome to the team guys!
Nothing else of interest to report.
Week Five:
We open the final week of recruiting to find that 3* HB Jason Turner, 3* DE Josh Taylor, and 3* OLB Edmond Russell have signed with us!
That leaves one player. 2* DT J Mann. I have 10 hours to spend with Mann. I better be able to land him. And...we do! Welcome to the team, J Mann.
And that wraps things up! Another full recruitment class that gives us some fresh new talent.
