Today was Media Day at Rutgers Stadium, and with a Greg Schiano press conference and an hour of player availability, I've got a ton of quotes that I couldn't fit in the paper.

Here are a few highlights:

Greg Schiano on Ryan D'Imperio's injured leg: "D'Imperio's leg is coming along well. He's ahead of schedule, but even ahead of schedule you've got to take it slow. He's doing a little bit mroe than they thought he'd be doing. I don't think it's realistic to say the opener, but somewhere in the season he might be able to play. We'll just play it by ear."

Schiano on Ray Rice: "One thing that stuck out is how Ray's been working. He did it in the winter program and he did it in spring practice. He is taking the top off of every run. He sprints all the way over the top of the secondary."

Schiano on RU's fan support: "It is great. Our fan support is tremendous, every single ticket is sold; we have a waiting list of close to 6,000 people. I think that's good stuff. Hopefully we can do the things in our stdium to meet the needs of our fans...I think our fans in the last two years have made a name for themselves. Both of our bowl games were three quarters of the way across the country, and people hopped on a plane and went to see us play...I think it's good for the program. When decisions are made about who to include in bowl games, being able to travel well makes you a better option."

Schiano on Eric Foster's leadership: Eric's got that kind of personality, that's for sure. He has charisma. He works incredibly hard, plays the game with passion. So I think that's why he can pull it off; that's why people follow him. Eric has been that emotional leader, he's been that guy. He has really worked hard to be the guy who drives the team, who drives himself."

Brandon Renkart on the linebacking corps: "It's not about attention at all. Whoever gets it gets it, but it's all about doing our 1/11th , and making it work. We constantly preach doing our 1/11th, doing our 1/11th, doing our 1/11th. That's what makes our team work.... It's definitely good to have open positions, not being so relaxed, being a little tense, studying a little harder. It pushes yourself to have to compete for a starting spot."

Kordell Young on the backfield: "Me and Ray help each other out. If I make a mistake he helps me, and I help him. It goes both ways...I told Ray I'm going to push you to be your best because he hasn't reached his potential yet...I think we can do a lot of things. We bring a lot of deception with the players we have now. I think we have a lot of young players who no one knows about."

There's plenty more in tomorrow's Trentonian, and I'll check back in tomorrow to fill you in on what took place at practice, which starts at 3:20 p.m. in Piscataway.

Enjoy the rest of Massachussets native Tom Glavine's 300th victory.
