Is Rutgers in North Jersey, South Jersey or Central Jersey? Depends who you ask and where you are when you are asking.
Unless you are asking second-year Rutgers football coach Chris Ash, who sees New Jersey as one state -- just like it appears on a map -- for recruiting high school talent and uniting Big Ten fans.
Ash was asked on National Signing Day about his commitment to recruiting South Jersey, an area from which Rutgers has struggled to draw talent for decades. Ash signed seven from the greater Philadelphia area in the class of 2017.
