He's a talented 3 star who grew up a big RU fan. No doubt this one hurts. But I don't worry too much about any one recruit. I'm also excited to see who we can flip from other schools with our new coach.
Now let;s take the kid from New Brunswick who is a Pitt commit.
hey I'm with you on the fact that more 4 stars or even a 5 would be nice but that's such a naive thing to say just because he's a 3 star.
Ash is a db guru. You'd think he'd be all over the defensive back recruits. Maybe he's looking at another recruit to bring in at safety.
Abro, I really respect your passion but this post is so over the top.
"Where does this end?"
The kid is one recruit. Yes, it stings but we won't know until signing day who replaces him. What if we flip a 4 star with a higher ceiling?
People with the stars good lord. This kid is talented would have loved if he would have sruck. So you realize one of the best players in RU history, actually 2 were 3 str players. RR and BL so please with the he was only a 3 star crap.
Buh bye...never felt he was solid anyway especially after Rene's commitment and getting scared off and wrote something on twitter to the effect of "Thinking about some things." Was looking for a reason the decommit IMO.
It appeared to me he was never more than a soft verbal. Got the impression he wouldn't stick when all was said and done.
Everyone should have realized there'd be decommits. It happens with a staff change and especially so when a kid may be looking for any reason to switch.

Sorry, I should have put a sarcasm emoji in there. I'll look for one now and edit it.
I don't feel like this one is over. RU will and should stay in it until NSD (national signing day).
I want guys with RU legacy and Cambell is really talented. I think once the new staff is set , they can work on getting him comfortable here again.
Cambell -- you're a Jersey guy. Take your time getting to know the new RU staff and we'll welcome you back with open arms

There will be a lot of this between now and signing day. With all the coaching changes one would expect it. We are in one of the two best football conferences. If you are a football player and you have the oppertunity to play in the BIG or SEC you need rise to the oppertunity. Fight or Flight.
Expect to take some hits from recruits loyal to Flood and/or assistants let go , along with the kids that might have people in their ears telling them they don't fit in the system Ash plans to run.
No problem , this wasn't a top 20 class Flood was bringing in and think Ash might be able to replace the de-commits with comparable talent.

But wait, I thought Ash was a great closer because "I would run through a wall after listening to his press conference" and because "Urban doesn't hire bad coordinators"... Turns out people here should let things play out before calling him a bust or a god
Yeh....because we just just have so many better player optonss to replace him with. Give me a break. He's the best athlete that was committed to RU. I don't care what his ranking is with Rivals. They got it wrong with Campbell. Those kind of kids don't grow on trees.
we don't know that Ash wanted him to stay or not...either way so be it...I can't say I know
enough about his potential to say if this matters or not so I'll just support the guys coming/here
instead of caring about him
It's only a bad development if we don't replace Campbell with someone more aligned with Ash's approach.
Ash is reportedly making it clear to recruits that they have to play special teams first before they get to play on O or D. Perhaps Flood and crew were making other promises. No way to know for sure, but if Campbell switched to Pitt because he doesn't want to play special teams, then I'm okay with him going.
This is disappointing...not on ash at all, but the program that was left to ash
is he the kid related to Mo Sanu....hope not esp since it was reported Pitts HC was ''interviewed/almost coming'' here..I'm puzzled...a died in the wool RU legacy flipping to IMO a lesser conference at this stage..
Have you seen his film. This kid is a special teams demon in addition to being terrific safety/rb. He was easily one of RU top three recruits.
And you know this how?
Didn't Ash just visit him?
Seems Pitt coaches have been all over NJ this weekend.
That's great. But clearly something he heard in the meeting w/Ash changed his mind. Or something Ash heard from him changed Ash's mind.
I think he was really Pitt bound for a while. He was not coming here with Flood as coach. Ash had very little time to recruit him. Good luck to the young man and let's move on.
With all of the commits or possible recruits that he could visit, there is no way he wastes his time visiting a kid to tell him to look elsewhere. Especially when he's short handed staff wise and the dead period is coming up. This visit was because he was visiting Pitt.
