Just hoping to get a discussion going that wasn’t realignment related.

What’s your guys thoughts on this? In a way I’m not crazy about the idea because Temple goes head to head with Rutgers for the same recruits and lost a TU commit who flipped to Ohio State last year. However I do see the upside because a lot of high level HS talent from the area will be drawn in by Urban Meyer alone and it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world picking up a few 3 star scraps that Ohio State leaves behind. Rutgers head coach Chris Ash was one of the speakers at Matt Rhules high school coaches’ clinic held at Temple a few weeks back so my guess is they are trying to play nice. Ironically enough Temples incoming Elite 11 QB Anthony Russo de-committed from Rutgers when Ash took over and choose Temple over LSU.

A weird twist to this is the camp run in Northern NJ by Jim Harbaugh that’s also scheduled for June 8th will have Temple assistant coaches in attendance as well.

I’m sure your schools coaches attends satellite camps run by P5 programs but does any of your head coaches team up with other P5 head coaches to sponsor camps?

Michigan has one in CT with UConn and BC attending. I don't know much about these things but it seems like they are just getting more and more prevalent, now that the ban was overturned.

Houston just teamed up with A&M to do satellite camp

I think it may be something that has been going on for some time now, it’s just gotten a lot more attention this season because of the short lived ban.

Like I said I have mixed feelings, I hate losing a recruit to Rutgers.

With Ohio State alone would be fine. Rutgers is the one I'd have a problem with. Realistically none of us are truly beating out the OSU's of the world for very many recruits. However, the Rutgers of the world (middle to bottom of the P5) we are all competing with and I wouldn't want them involved. I'm not sure if this same dynamic would be in play for Temple, but in the eastern part of NC there are a lot of really talented players who just completely slip under the radar. A lot of the schools are in very poor areas, very small towns, pretty hard to get to, and they just won't get discovered. I wouldn't have any problem with if ECU were to team up with lets say Bama or UGA for a camp, because they aren't going to offer those types of kids and they'd attract a number of high level kids to our campus that might give us more of a look. What I would have a problem with is partnering with someone like a Maryland, Pitt, etc who's close enough to our level of the totem pole that they might steal some guys who would slip through the cracks to us.

See that’s kind of my feeling also, I like the OSU part and even being part of the camp with Michigan, but I just am uneasy doing anything with Rutgers. I was surprised when I saw Ash was going to be one of the speakers at Rhules coaches’ clinic.

I guess if you look at it closely it’s not too much different than the schools that will be at Harbaughs camp the same day. Boston College, Syracuse, Maryland, Pittsburgh will all be there with Temple, and we routinely compete with those schools for the same kids.

I guess it's part of the changing world of college football.

I like the company Temple is keeping with regarding those camps. Could make for some good relationships for OOC scheduling and potential down the road P5 invites. When Bobby Wallace was coach, we would not have even gotten invited to theater camp.

ECU is doing one in DC with Maryland from what I've heard.

Between NJ, PA, the DMV, and FL, there are enough quality recruits that I'm not worried about it. Rutgers can only sign a finite number of recruits.

Agreed, I guess part of it is my dislike for anything Rutgers showing through.
