Nate, Welcome to The State of Rutgers and your Scarlet Knights !!!:Rutgers:Baseball::CHOP:
 
Expanding our recruiting area and getting JUCO’s are two positives. NJ and Staten Island are not the epicenter of baseball talent.
 
Yes, Delaware County adds a lot to the geographical recruiting net. There are Delaware counties in PA, IN, NY, IA, OK, OH.
