Rutgers Basketball: Can Patrick Hobbs Help Hoops?

New Athletic Director Patrick Hobbs is about to take over a department that is a bit beaten down, but full of potential. How can he help the school's other revenue sport?

From very early on in her tenure, it was apparent Julie Hermann was a problem for Rutgers basketball.

According to a source with ties to high school and AAU recruiting, Hermann held Jordan back. "Recruits who had their choices and did their homework were aware of Julie's background and reputation."

But now, Hermann is gone, quickly replaced by Patrick Hobbs, the former Dean of Seton Hall Law School.
