7 random rutgers football observations before 1st training camp practice, including the latest on who’s the starting qb - magnetic name plates

The new season for rut Gus officially begins on Thursday.
The Scarlett Knights will hold their first summer training at 9: 55 A. M. m.
At Piscataway, the day after the team reported to training camp and held a local media day event.
As we wait for the action to begin, here are some random thoughts from Wednesday's report: QB picture: Nothing I heard on media day has changed my position, that is, with the start of training camp, Artur Sitkowski's work will fail.
The staff at Rutgers University liked the tape, toughness, and football IQ of McCrane Carter, but he was still unknown to them in many ways.
Thursday's training will be the first time Ash and attack coordinator John McNulty actually saw him live.
What Carter felt at the time was
After the ugly freshman of the latter, it is not accurate to pick in and cancel the seat at sitkoski.
Scarlet Red Knight urgently needs to add depth to this position-
Johnny Logan denies giving up the hammer--
Carter is the one they can land.
Carter will definitely win the job in the end, but it may require him to have a big camp when sitkoski bombed him.
The two have not even started.
Sitkowski is No.
1 guy and Carter are the current backup.
In the trenches: the top ten is the first-line competition Conference.
The University of Rutgers has been working hard to be adequate in that department under Ash's leadership, especially in defense.
But the coach expressed confidence in his defense and offense.
The change in tactics will make his players flourish.
"We have ten.
Our o-and d-line.
But we have to play like this . " Ash said.
"I may be more excited about some of the schematic changes we 've made that will make our players more successful.
Ash's comments are interesting.
The change in the offensive line is not surprising, as the new position coach Peter Rosando brings a philosophy different from the former coach. J. Blazek.
But given Ash and defensive line coach Corey Brown's return from last year, it shows that the new defensive coordinator, Andy Buh, may indeed have a lot of influence in this plan, or at least Ash is adjusting it.
"I don't question at all whether our players are good enough.
I think on both sides of the ball we all have enough ability to stay competitive in the game, "Ash said.
"If you think you have the right players, it doesn't work, than I think we have made some adjustments and changes to those positions that I feel very comfortable and confident about on both sides of the ball what are the reasons for the success of the players.
"Bo Melton's charm for the third year, the young wideout played 7 out of all 12 games last season and won second place at the reception.
But this is only 28 catches of 245 yards, the first four.
Star recruits from Cedar Creek are still waiting for his first college touch.
It remains to be seen whether the legacy of the university will eventually break out in 2019.
But when Melton walked into Hale Center on Wednesday morning, he did look stronger (
Apparently anecdotal statement)
The wide-ranging pick-up coach, Lester EB, is optimistic that he is about to turn things around.
"The thing about Bo is that he's really mature," Erb said . ".
"This experience is something you can never take for granted. We’re excited.
He looked much better, had a great offseason in the weight room and really worked out.
He really became a student of the game.
I hope he can make a big jump this year.
"Zach Venesky: the senior captain of the Red Shirt army and the expected rise of the starting left-back are really amazing.
Ash admits that for some time he didn't think Venesky would play at Rutgers, and no one should be surprised by the claim.
This time last season, Venesky was buried on the depth map and discussed the idea of letting him defend to give him a chance to play.
But Venesky stuck and in the game against Northwest he struggled to get into the squad because the rest in front of him were either injured or struggling.
He started the game, the next four games, and now he has become one of the key players in the Scarlet red Cavaliers.
Jonathan Lewis: Ash said on Ten media days that he felt the converted quarterback had a chance to be the best in Ruggs's current tense final team, the staff were full of praise for how Lewis was physically in the camp. The former St.
Peter's reserve star looks thinner and walks into the center of Hale and into the summer state better than he left the spring for the second consecutive preseason.
Lewis listed 6-on rut's latest roster-foot-
3 and 237 pounds-
It was 12 pounds lighter than when he went public in the spring.
But tight-tailed coach campanzio Campanile said that despite the apparent deformation of Lewis, he was not sure if he had lost that much weight.
"He looks great," says campanier . "
"He might.
His body is a bit symmetrical.
I just told him when we went. media day)
"You look great.
"All he really does not have is experience.
He has resilience, he has sports ability, he has skills, he is a football playersmart guy.
I think he will do a lot of great things for us.
"Looking forward to future recruitment: The small 2020 signing class for rutgers may not be that small in the end.
My unofficial math has provided 14 slots for the upcoming cycle.
They have 11 players entering the final qualifying season of the season, plus the recent Scholarships open when Rayyan Buell, Zihir Lacewell and Zamir Mickens leave.
This number also grows when you consider that there may be some player transfers in the future.
There are 17 players on the roster entering the fourth season of the campus, so there will be candidates to withdraw as the graduates move.
New locker room: What exactly did Ruggs do in the new Brown family locker room, and the details are still slowly disappearing.
But naturally, a major focus of this project is the lockers themselves.
The Scarlet Knight walked a long way on that front.
Tia Williams, brand manager at Holman, said: "The material is old, the wood is falling off . " Hollman designed and built lockers.
"We asked the coaches, players and equipment managers what they liked about their old lockers and they said, 'Nothing.
This is great. It's a blank sheet of paper for us.
Then we can go in and say, 'How did you use the locker? How can we help you to be more organized and make it easier for the equipment manager, then we start from there.
The new locker was built with Nanolam and it was a "high
Anti-tech laminate
Microorganisms and "resist scratches, scratches, friction and high temperatures.
"There are vents on the top and bottom of the lockers, and each player has a magnetic nameplate, including photos of their team heads, stainless steel shoulder pad holders, each locker has a helmet compartment and a deformed Scarlet Red Knight Avatar logo.
