C. Vivian Stringer turning back clock on recruiting trail for Rutgers women’s basketball

The Rutgers women’s basketball team is having a great month, as head coach C. Vivian Stringer’s return from a health related absence at the end of last season has given the program a major boost. After a 4-0 start to the season, this week Stringer signed what ESPN ranks as the top 2020 recruiting class in the Big Ten and eighth best in the country. The five recruits signed is highlighted by Diamond Johnson, the sixth ranked recruit in the entire 2020 class, and includes four prospects ranked in the top 55 nationally.

While it’s impressive to see this type of success on the recruiting trail, this isn’t new for the Hall of Fame coach.
