Yesterday, Ron Harper Jr., a 6’6” sharp shooting wing from Don Bosco Prep, visited Rutgers and picked up an offer from the coaching staff. He wasted little time and committed to the program on Friday night.
Harper Jr. addresses perhaps the biggest need for the program, as he is an efficient shooter. Despite having an unorthodox stroke, he can light it up from behind the arc and has developed a nice mid range game. At 6’6”, he will fit well playing the wing at Rutgers, a position of dire need, as only rising sophomore Issa Thiam is the only one on the current roster.
