Some in college football recruiting circles say that recruiting doesn't truly start until a player is committed somewhere. Some view the first interest or offer at the start, but coaches are forced to earn their keep once adding a player into the fold, and keeping him there, away from other schools, looking to poach down the line.
Late last night, Rutgers three-star offensive tackle commit Raiqwon O'Neal revealed via a tweet that he had received an offer from the Florida Gators. It's good for a program like Rutgers when its commit receive high-caliber offers because it validates its ability to identify talent.
