Straight Outta New Brunswick


The Scarlet Knights, Jersey's pride (kinda) is in the midst of one hell of a recruting class coming on the horizon. With some downtime between signing day and the start of the season coaches are focusing in on the class of 2009. I guess grease trucks really bring in the big-time recruits. These two players look like they will be the Knights' future:

Leading the class is Tom Savage, a pro-style QB from Springfield PA. He picked Rutgers over Georgia, Miami, Tennesse and Louisville. He will be attending the Elite 11 camp with the best QBs across the nation. He is noted for having one of the strongest arms in the nation. Can anyone say Mike Mcmahon?



Right behind Savage is Desmond Scott, an all-purpose back from Durham, North Carolina (Suck on that Duke). Schiano is planning to use Scott out of the backfield and line him up in the slot.

You can see videos of him here.

One important note is that both of these players come from out of state. It looks like Greg Schiano's decision to stay in Jersey is really paying off for RU.
