Although Knightparker does sound like a Valet driver. Never really see Valet drivers during the day. Unless of course you live in LA where there is Valet at Starbucks and Target.
If throwing touchdowns was illegal and getting interceptions got people arrested than I guess Knarker would work.

Ok, but his name is Rashad. Also, his last name is Knight. If his middle name were Scarlet, I'd say we just concede this one. Presumably it's not, so I think we're in good shape.

before his UM visit he and his parents were favoring Rutgers and Ole Miss for various reason. then he visited UM and was blown away and rumors were UM was in the lead. however, he still goes on the rutgers visit THEN shuts down his recruitment.
i'm thinking rutgers may have somehow won this battle based on the fact he decided not to take a visit after rutgers, but did take a visit after UM. however, this is an 18 yr old kid so who the hell knows.

He could have come back from the his visit here and just decideded to check out rutgers, and didn't feel like taking anymore visits because the Michigan one was so beast. He could have just thrown rutgers in there to say that they were in the final 2 just like furman did.

...unfortunately. To compare New Brunswick in any way to a college town is preposterous. The place is a dump. And I say that with a completely straight face. It's run down, tons of unemployment, boarded up buildings, folks just hanging out on street corners. There is no campus business/entertainment district at all. It's Youngstown without the charm.

Maybe in 1980
When exactly did you live in New Jersey, like 20-30 years ago? Because everything you said was false.
"Run down" - Almost the entire downtown area is brand new, including a new hotel, new restaurants, new luxury condos, and a new Rutgers apartment-style dorms. Also they are about to build The Rutgers Gateway around the train station, which will include some Rutgers facilities, a movie theatre, and lots of shopping. Everything I've mentioned is adjacent to or 5-10 minute walk from campus.
"Tons of unemployment" - New Brunswick is home to 2 of the largest employers in New Jersey - Rutgers (duh) and Johnson & Johnson. I don't think someone from Michigan is in a place to talk unemployment...
"No business/entertainment district at all" - No, only the State Theatre of New Jersey plus 2 other theatres next door. comedy clubs with New York A-listers, the Zimmerli art museum, plus Rutgers' Mason Gross arts school, which is one of the top 5 fine arts schools in the nation.

Rutgers recruits Florida very well
Although most of Rutgers' FL recruits are from Miami and surrounding areas (and not Jacksonville), they seem to get lots of players from Florida. Here is a map. On the other hand, they haven't had a 4-star (according to Rivals) recruit from FL commit since 2002. Hopefully this favors us.

but....Stevie Brown (**** S) , Mouton (****1/2 S) , Mike Williams (****), Brandon Smith (****),and Boubacar (****) prove that nothings guaranteed. Granted, BooBoo has his own problems off the field but even so he seemed o regress last yr. Stevie and Mouton were moved to linebacker but Brown was basically the equivalent to Williams prior to last yr, which is not meant as a compliment. So...as much as I'd love to believe Turner, Emilien, Christian, and unnamed safety commit will solidify our secondary I'll believe it when I see it.

January 26th, 2010 at 8:18 PM |
bad word choice
bad word choice
I think our secondary will be better as the safety play can't hardly be worse, but I was merely saying that the five players I mentioned have contributed basically nothing to the secondary.
As far as the guys you mention, I love the depth RR is building -- my point is that these things are often hit-or-miss, so naturally more bodies=better chances for success. I was focusing on some of the higher-profile players (I neglected Robinson in regards to newcomers --my bad). Vinopal and Johnson excite me, but are diamond in the rough types, while Talbott and Avery weren't highly recruited either.
I don't want to give the wrong impression that I'm not happy with what RR has done with the number or quality of DB recruits, I'm just merely stating that there are no guarantees.
