Now that

Devin Fuller said Greg
Schiano leaving Rutgers for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not
have much of an impact on his decision, and Hamilton seemed to lean
toward the Scarlet Knights.
Hamilton held together what could
be the Scarlet Knights' best recruiting class.
St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) tight end
Michael Giacone verbally committed to
Boston College after a weekend visit there – he had been a Rutgers
commit since last July. And New Jersey's top linebacker, No. 109
Quanzell Lambert of
Timber Creek Regional (Erial, N.J.), will not sign his National Letter
of Intent tomorrow and, according to coach Rob Hinson, will also be
considering Iowa and Nebraska.
Some good news for Rutgers is that
DePaul (Wayne, N.J.) athlete
Davon Jacobs (nephew of New York Giants running back
Brandon Jacobs) and
Saddle Brook (N.J.) linebacker
Steven Longa plan to sign
their NLIs tomorrow morning according to NJ.com.
Both No. 91 Don
Bosco Prep wide receiver
Leonte Carroo and No. 182
Long Branch (N.J.)
offensive lineman
Ryan Brodie previously reaffirmed their commitments
to New Jersey's state university.
The area's other top-ranked uncommitted
recruit, No. 107 cornerback
Wayne Morgan of
Erasmus Hall (Brooklyn, N.Y.), is down to
Syracuse, Uconn and Penn State according to
syracuse.com
– a late entrant which could potentially deepen Syracuse's
struggles on the recruiting trail.
