Rutgers wants to see if he can put on 15-20lbs and still keep the same speed he has now which is basically a 4.4 for a guy 6'4 and 220lbs.

Someone that size and if they keep that speed can be deadly as a pass catching TE.

It's a dangerous game involving Newsome and Forcier, and it's not being helped by Penn State's Rivals site. Forcier has said that Michigan is still an option, and that's putting RR in a bad spot. He can't stop recruiting Forcier because other teams aren't going to stop recruiting Newsome and Beaver (PSU has a hard on for Newsome BAD), but if he goes after Forcier too much, Newsome or Beaver could decommit on their own.

It's a balancing act that I don't like, especially when it involves the psyches of high school kids.

That stinks. I understand Michigan is trying not to get burnt, but we have Newsome and Beaver right now. That is why when people commit, that should be about as good as gold. Other teams should get penalized for tampering if someone has commited and they still try to recruit him. If you are unsure, then don't commit.

You do remember Michigan's close of the 2008 class right? Everybody does it.
