Halfway Home

Rutgers now has 11 recruits committed to its 2016 class. How does the other half of the class finish?

With Justin Morgan's commitment last night, Rutgers now has 11 prospects committed to the 2016 class. That's about the halfway point of this class. The breakdown is as follows:

POSITION

NUMBER NOW LIKELY END NUMBER

That leaves 1 WR, 1 TE, 2 OL, 3 DB, 1 LB, 3 DL, and maybe a few specialists.

Wide Receiver (1, maybe 2 depending on who it is)

Best Case: Kelvin Harmon, Steven Smothers (Mitchell and Hawkins appear headed elsewhere)

More Likely: KJ Gray (on campus today), Hasise Dubois, Devonte Young, Gene Coleman, Donald Stewart (just got a game-changing Stanford offer)

Tight End (1, possibly 0)

Best Case: Naseir Upshur (unlikely), Jovani Haskins (more likely than Upshur but still low odds)

More Likely: Jamal Holloway (Camden DE could play TE too), Ray Marten (BC commit, but teammates with recent commits Reynolds and Morgan at Poly Prep), someone without a current offer.
