Wednesday marked the beginning of the early signing period for college basketball and it has been a busy couple of days for Rutgers. As expected, 3-star wing Ron Harper Jr., highly touted JUCO forward Shaq Carter, and 4-star guard Montez Mathis have all signed their national letters of intent with the program. This is an impressive class in just the second full cycle on the recruiting trail for head coach Steve Pikiell at Rutgers.
The fact that all three players made it official during the early signing period is a big step forward for the program. In recent years, Rutgers typically had multiple scholarships still open for the current class in late spring and summer.
