The ink is still drying on the 2016 commits' LOIs. Almost 51 weeks separates us from National Signing Day 2017. Heck, Chris Ash hasn't even coached a football game at Rutgers yet. Will that stop us from speculating on Rutgers' 2017 recruiting class?
Not a chance.
Ash and his staff had to scramble to build the 2016 class. The new head coach was tasked with bringing in a coaching staff, keeping recruits from the Flood regime, and adding recruits of his own in less than two months on the job. He will have a full year to recruit the 2017 class, which should give us a more demonstrative look at his recruiting chops.
