Per twitter, this kid is visiting on 6/13 - 6/15. Great to see Eddie is bringing OOS top recruits to visit. I don't know who Parker is leaning towards but I hope he enjoys his visit. I will be impressed with EJ and Staff if they can land another Rivals Top 100 player for 2016. That's how you start building a quality program between Freeman, Sanders etc.

Dare to dream.

Parker and Sanders might be the most dynamic backcourt in the country.

Dare to dream.

Yeah.

Slim chances, eh?

No clue. I always hope for the best but expect the worst.

Just from some brief youtube watches, besides being a dunking FREAK he also seems like a really good kid. Humble, religious, takes school seriously. Again just what I pulled from some brief vids but so far I like what I see. A baller and a good kid. Can't ask for much more. Fingers crossed. Side note- Wonder if Bishop knows him?

Interesting how much we've been hitting up NC the last few years.

I noticed that too. Parker seems like the first big time NC kid we've thrown our hat in the ring for in quite some time.

Big step getting him to visit New Brunswick/Piscataway.

The names of recruits that are even stepping on Rutgers campus is something we can be happy about.

 

[cyrock3]

I believe he's visited us before.

I have been saying for a while now that a SG is the top priority in the Class od 2016

This would be a beyond huge get for us...

 

[PhilaPhans]

SG and SF, with a possibility of a PF.

* PG will have two guys with 2+ years remaining to play (Sanders/Johnson).
* SG will have two guys with 2+ years to play (Williams/Goode), but I don't see either of those guys as more than solid bench guards, so we need help there.
* SF has Laurent, so we need help there.
* PF has a senior in Freeman and Foreman with 2+ years, so we should recruit there if possible next year.
* C has Diallo and Doorson with 2+ years, so it's not a major need, although you always take a top guy if you can get him.

Of course transfers and whatnot could change everything.

Can you imagine a Corey Sander/Kwe Parker backcourt? Wow!

 

[SirScarlet]

Recruits that can put the ball in the basket are a need at every position.Rutgers must make a goal for scoring 70 points per game which is what will be required to have a winning season.Right now the squad will have a difficult time averaging 62 points per game.

I'm sure Cory Sanders is also helping out in this recruiting process. Having competed against each other, I'm sure there's a lot of respect and maybe good friendship. I'm crossing my fingers.

Lol, i hear what you're saying. Remember playing that great player in HS sports though. You weren't always best friends with him.Haha. Basketball is a different game though.

Freeman could also help a lot with Bashir Ahmed. I am sure a lot of players want to see the best squad possible, but they probably also want to just focus on themselves. Bashir Ahmed would be huge as would Kwe Parker.

Rutgers has a lot of things to sell to both.

 

[scarletrat]

isn't St John's in the lead (pre-emptive strike)

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

The recruiting shark Shoes Vetrone is leading the Rutgers recruiting effort. He was instrumental in getting Sanders, maybe he can reel in Parker. I saw his tweet when Shoes announced that Parker was visiting.

We have a real and true shot here...no joke, but no promises either.

This kid is a special talent...words can't describe how important his addition would be

[RUfanEst89]

Forgive my ignorance, but is Sanders on campus already? I get the dates confused, I guess because a few of the football guys are here already.

Where's the Van Damme gif?!?!??!

 

[RU93]

I've not seen this GIF but as good as Van Damme's.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

GIF is hilarious......

This. Like Flood, Jordan is getting people to look at RU who would never have done so in the past. No doubt the Big Ten has a lot to do with that, but still. Unlike football, though, it only takes a few guys to turn around a basketball team. I think the future is coming sooner rather than later here.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

That highlight tape is unreal !!! If this kid + Sanders were in the RAC throwing down dunks like that imagine how insane the place would be. Good lord that would be exciting. Please please make this happen !!!
