The first of Rutgers three major official visit weekends is just under a week away. The hope for the Rutgers coaching staff is that they will secure commitments from those recruits they have eyed the most and convince them to shut down their recruitment as well. The staff has been known to use the Jersey Shore and New York City as a recruiting tool, so there is no doubt that whichever recruits show up will have a jam-packed schedule all weekend long.
That begs the question, who is coming this weekend? Is Rutgers the favorite to land them? The answers to these questions are listed below!
