Exploring the roots of the North Jersey parochial school feuds, and their implications on Rutgers and Michigan football recruiting
Rutgers football fans are understandably pleased that Chris Ash and staff appear to be having a strong early start on class of 2017 recruiting. Rutgers has secured a number of high profile early non-binding pledges, and is rumored to lead for several more top players. The majority of those recruits are in state (and especially in southern New Jersey), making the effort doubly impressive given how over-saturated and competitive New Jersey football recruiting is, and how poorly the previous staff under Kyle Flood had fallen behind on all fronts.
