Ah, there he is. Wish we could've gotten him.

Griffith would've been nice. Thankfully, Glasgow is just as good and has some serious upside.

Depending on which poll Glasgow finished out NO3 on flo

I would love to have all the best kids from Jersey but not everyone is going to come to Rutgers.I will say I have been quite impressed with the recruiting thus far. Goddale and Pritzlaff have been doing a fantastic job getting top kids right here in our backyard.For the last four to five years starting with Ashnault we are showing some real promise.

The key though is developing the top notch kids from our backyard into NCAA champions and All Americans.This will go a long way into getting blue chip recruits.

Glasgow I really like and he was a big signing as a future middle weight. I would assume 157 after Richie graduates.I honestly thought he was going to another school (Kudos to the Rutgers staff).

A special kid like him we need to truly develop into an NCAA Champ and All American.Only time will tell as we see his progress and others.

He's ranked 7th at 152. Our recruit, Glasgow, is ranked 5th.

Griffith is now the NO 2 ranked 160 pounder.

This is still shaping up to be a very good class for us.

Great class from New Jersey. We should be a top 10 program again.
