Reporting for NJ Advance Media, Keith Sargeant sat down with newly-appointed Rutgers men’s soccer head coach Jim McElderry to find out a little more about what to expect of the program under its new leadership.
Prior to McElderry’s appointment, the news that Rutgers had interviewed New York Red Bulls scout Carlos Acquista raised the possibility that the Scarlet Knights were interested in a closer relationship with RBNY’s Academy and player development pipeline.
McElderry does not have such obvious ties to RBNY, though he did guide goalkeeper Ryan Meara through a college soccer career at Fordham that ultimately saw the player drafted by the Red Bulls.
