After securing commitments from two of their top 2018 targets and being in the final six schools that 4-star combo guard Jalen Carey is considering, the narrative is truly changing for the program on the recruiting trail. However, the Rutgers men’s basketball staff continues to work in finding the best fits for the program, regardless of rankings. The staff have now offered an under the radar, local prospect, who stood out during the July live period.
Ron Harper Jr. took an unofficial visit to Rutgers on Thursday and received an offer while on campus. He was a key player last season for Don Bosco Prep, who surprised the local high school basketball scene by making it all the way to the Tournament of Champions Final after winning their first non-public A state title in 47 years.
