It had been tough to get in contact with CBA (Syracuse, N.Y.) running back Stevie Scott over the past couple weeks, and that apparently had a lot to do with the fact that he had recently (quietly) decommitted from the Rutgers program.

Tottenville (Staten Island, N.Y.) athlete and Rutgers commit Zihir Lacewell, who had hoped to room with Scott who he'd befriended, provided the first one, following the visit.
