Rutgers honors program great Ron Harper Jr. on the video board. His younger brother Dylan happens to be sitting behind him. They get a massive ovation

Even though everyone knew he was there, I don't understand that they put Lathan and Ace on the board, then Ron, but did not put Dylan's name up there(or did I miss it) to get his own ovation?

Best of Luck,
Groz

It was a bad oversight by the people responsible for having the recruits shown on the center court message board screen.Dylan Harper is a elite recruit from NJ and I bet he kept saying when is my picture going to be shown?

I thought the same then thought maybe it’s because Dylan hasn’t signed yet so there’s probably some dumb NCAA rule?

dylan hasn’t signed yet so announcing him would have been considered an NCAA violation.

Ron being announced with Dylan behind him is perfectly fine substitute.

I didn't think of that. Probably was the reason....

He can't be recognized by the University in any public way until he has a signed LOI in place

I thought he might have secretly already signed. :)

We addressed this in a different thread already but Lathan and Ace signed. Dylan didn’t, they can’t talk about him.

Dylan will return from injury & play tonight against Bergen Catholic

I didn't realize Terry Copeland left BC for a prep school in SC. Still uncommitted.

Love Ron hanging around so much I think had he played one more year his number would’ve been retired and his personal accolades would’ve ascended to a national level.

Only if he became an All-American. That's the Rutgers rule for retiring numbers.

Honorable mention does not count.
