Sorry not sure how to link but they have an article up on the 22/23 NJ High School Basketball players to watch in Dylan Harper's blurb at the end it says verbatim. Harper is being recruited by the best college programs in the country, including Duke, Kansas, Auburn, Indiana and UCLA!!; Not one mention of Rutgers how many times is this rag or whatever we want to call it going to diss Rutgers

They will make sure to note it if he chooses someone other than RU though.
Carino works for the Asbury Park Press not nj.com. Here is the article:

To quote Danny DeVito in The Heist: "Everybody wants money. That's why they call it money".
Charitably - seems that they were just trying to convey that he’s a national recruit being recruited by the blue bloods.

Who’s best of the best? 2022-23 boys basketball Player of the Year watch list
Check out the elite players in the state who will lead the pack this season.
I thought Harper and his mother live in Franklin Lakes. If so money is not an issue
Yea, it’s probably not and prob won’t be, but never know
The comment is that Dylan Harper is being recruited by the best programs in the country but does not mention that other programs were also recruiting him like Rutgers.I understand that Rutgers fans get upset by not being mentioned but journalists depend on rankings and perception of sport teams.Rutgers isn't perceived right now as a top tier basketball program which doesn't mean that Dylan Harper won't play for Rutgers in two years.I doubt he will make a decision until the summer of 2023.
I’m not upset but it is odd that you wouldn’t at least mention in the article that he is also being recruited by the local school where his brother had an all B1G career and is now a pro. Just weird. Sometimes it’s hard to believe there isn’t an agenda. I don’t read papers from all over the country but it’s hard to believe that this happens elsewhere.
I really don’t think this writer is that experienced or knowledgeable that I would think there is an agenda.
Most of the posters here continually forget the sports director for nj.com is Kevin Manahan, who has been open about his dislike for anything Rutgers. He may not write the article, but he gives direction on the tone of the article and essential talking points to mention.
They mention Indiana who last time I checked we had beaten like 37 times in a row and they've only sniffed the tournament once in how many years?
I don't think he's spending too much time editing an article about a bunch of high school kids.
Sadly there are 3 writers linked to that article so it’s shoddy journalism and hate of the state U combined if all 3 missed RU
Manahan is a loser along with the rest that work there. Joke is on any of you who still read NJ.com or buy a newspaper in 2022.
The passing comment was probably meant to show all the name teams after him, as being an impressive thing
Not all the teams or favorites are to be mentioned as it would water down the point
People joke about negativd posts on here impacting recruiting.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that any "slights" towards Rutgers on nj.com or in the actual newspaper have zero impact.
No high school kid checks nj.com or has ever even seen an actual Star-Ledger newspaper.
But their parents , teachers , neighbors , coaches might. And if they all continue to have a negative bias towards RU then it won’t be the “cool” place to go. And kids do whatever is perceived to be the trendy or cool thing
