That's huge to get Warren Washington from the West coast here for the game and a weekend....
That's Dixon's 3rd visit to RU in the last 3 months time.....
Battle is another player taking the time to visit
Mathis and Harper Jr there to help bring a Washington into the fold is another plus.
Mathis is a game changer to the culture....glad to see him on campus again for a great weekend.

And what a wonderful day, can't remember a first game that was not hot and humid.
Great lineup of players....now Mathis and Harper become big time recruiters for us.
Add Battle's teammate and prior visitor to RU multiple times, 2019 SG Paul Mulcahy to the list tonight.....I believe Battle, Dixon and Mulcahy are all in the Top 150 for 2019.....Battle in the Top 75 for certain....

Believe Dixon and Mulchay are both top 50-75 range
Dixon, Battle and Mulchay trio as a three man class would be a top 10 class for 2019
This sounds great. Our coaches are just working so hard constantly.
Pike walked by in corridor at halftime and we said hello and he immediately said, "and that's montez mathis" who we gave some love and took a pic with. Montez's parents were there and entertained at us (40/50 yr old men) taking a selfie with their son.
Interesting that Harper is wearing his academy Nike sweatshirt. Washington looks tall if Harper is a legit 6-5 or 6-6.
Last night was a great event for the recruits to see...and all the recruits have to be impressed (at least that's the buzz so far).
@Rhuarc good one haha. We played well above my original expectations yesterday and did the unthinkable and covered the spread. Only upward from here.
I was really impressed by the recruits that we had at the game last night. I have good vibes from this.
Washington made the trip with both parents from what I heard....There's zero doubt he brings a different skill set vs the other front court recruits we have as a stretch PF that shoot 3's outside and also the height that can defend inside.
I and others have asked about recruiting for '18 given our current roster situation. I get that it's very common to not have a guaranteed spot. But guys who know this well--Russ, Hawk, others--I guess there's a general framework but no two situations are exactly the same. Suppose, for example, Washington or any kid wanted to give a verbal. Would it just be kept among coahes?
Covering the spread was far from unthinkable. Seemed pretty obvious if you're paying attention to the football program. Won me some money on it
If you remember the past 10 years or so for RU hoops tailgates they always had that covered camp area behind the stage of the football tailgate area by the stadium that was very isolated not into the whole football scene. LOVE the move they had this year where they had a truck by the front of the stadium with a bunch of tv's, a little hoop, and an environment fans were almost seemingly encouraged to interact with the hoops team as little kids were shooting on the hoop with the recruits so great having the fans involved now with the hoops team at the football game. Great move!
That is something that would be decided by the kid, his parents and the Rutgers coaching staff.
A silent verbal is a possibility when a program is "full" as it would hold a spot while the kid goes,on other visits just in case.
I also saw Washington today on college ave with his parents and said hi to him by name.
I saw Candido Sa, Thiam, Souf, Mike Williams and all the coaches.
That sounds like a great move. I remember the tent they used in the past and it was very isolating. Another smart move made by this new staff
Freeman, Sanders, Baker, Omoruyi, Bullock I also saw. I think I saw Johnson as well but am not 100% certain. Doorson, Doucoure and Kiss might have been there too but I don't think I saw them. Everyone seemed very happy. There were quite a few recruits there as well.Harper and Mathis were having a great time. I know Washington, Dixon and Battle were all present as well.
You only find out information like that if you walk into a local Subway.
CJ Gettys was walking around before the game.
Yes, CJ looked in great shape. He seemed to have slimmed down. A lot of people commented how great he looked.
Maybe :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.
(Not really, ok, as I certainly didn't ask).
That's terrible recruiting. You always ask for the commitment. The next step is to stalk and harass him on Twitter and Instagram.
I mean if you're going to do this you have to do it right.
