How many high school commitments does your favorite football team have for 2009? Odds are not many, especially if you're a Niners fan. Sure, there's USC with 15 future All-Americans, about whom Pete Carroll is feeling jacked. And there's Texas, loaded as ever, here at the dusk of June. Oh, and also with 19 commitments, of course, is Greg Schiano and Rutgers.
That's right, Rutgers.
No, this story didn't take a sharp detour into Crazyland, where the marching band plays kazoos and the yards are marked with cake frosting; this is actually happening. Rutgers, out there in the Big East and with negative infinity football tradition, is absolutely cleaning up. Their latest success is wideout Shawney Kersey, a lanky, three-star prospect with a four-and-a-half-star name (it's not Barkevious Mingo, but that's all right) who was destined for West Virginia last week.
Kersey's commitment will make it 13 such in June alone, which is more than most teams have, um, at all so far. Most of them hail from New Jersey, which means that recruiting goldmine (see Moreno, Knowshon) may well be drying up for outside teams.
If Rutgers continues to lock up their home state, Big East teams will probably wish--if they don't already--that Schiano had actually accepted one of his rumored offers. For now, though, all your Big East are belong to Greg Schiano.
