I don’t remember anyone ripping him.

He’s a very good player

Edit the thread title, fair enough, BUT 100% back in September, when he had started the season 2/4 IIRC, there were a couple of morons who were very, very unhappy. Maybe it was on the Round Table and, if so, my apologies.

There were several posters who questioned his being recruited to Rutgers… not staff but posters.

Go back to his miss which clanked off the goalpost and I would bet there were several RU posters who probably said” he sucks”.

All I remember is the miss from 50-51 clanking off the uprights and a poster or posters talking about him sucking.

A little more leg strength and he will have the chance to become an All American.

There was a thread declaring him the best kicker in Rutgers history after game 1. I among others stated he has a way to go to achieve that, and that Ito is the greatest at the moment. No one ripped him though, it just seemed way to early to declare him the greatest ever.

Thanks for bringing that up. Seems like I nailed it - not areyounuts and his straw man.

I learned from the best - Plum - and can only hope to one day serve as a prophet like him.

who? and why focus on that now? I don't understand virtue signaling like that.. or "me so smart.. you so dumb" crap.

Look it up if it so bothers you. One thing about this board you can bank on is they will always deny something that they personally don’t believe true. Yes you poor foolish soul there were several who when Patel was recruited posted questions about him being good. Then when he “ clanked it off the upright on a 51 yard attempt” they were certain he wasn’t the answer.

Regardless there were definitely a few individuals who were ragging on him early in the season.

who? how many?

I don't mean you need answer this. But OP should have offered some evidence if he were so inclined to claim there's a noticeable segment of the Rutgers fan base on this board who attacked a kid with little evidence of his performance.

Hey the player being attacked ( some few) is Wimsatt… Jai Patel ‘s recruitment and first 51 yard miss off the post were topics of is he the answer? Patel will set records at Rutgers if he stays 4 years.

As NUTS stated, this was on the RT where it happened. I don't know who they were, but I do recall the boobirds coming out of the woodwork at that time.

Still.. why mention "(and to any early-season disbelievers)"

If the thread is to honor Jay Patel.. why bother with this crap? That is the objectionable thing... if RUBOB72 cares to go there, for no good reason, then name some names at least. Otherwise don't even mention it.

It is a fact that there were several posters. I’m not going back 😜… if you don’t like the reality that we have posters who do go overboard on players.You were one of them right?

I don't think that the average fan in the spring thought that Patel was going to be our kicker this year. The kid came through game after game. I'm happy we have him and I think that he could develop into one of RUs best kickers ever.

And you would be correct colbert17. That was the conversation when he was A) being recruited B ) after he signed C) and especially after missing the 51 yarder. Also was the same time they were criticizing the long snapper and PAT .
