Inside the banks is now presented by The Scarlet Spotlight Podcast and for those not familiar, The Scarlet Spotlight is the preeminent podcast for all topics related to Rutgers University Athletics.

Hosted by RU alumni Danny Breslauer and Jon Newman, the show looks to provide Scarlet Knights fans — and those interested in Rutgers sports — with a unique analysis of the athletic department and its programs. Check in on New Jersey’s state university’s college sports and follow its journey in the Big Ten Conference.

Rutgers is off to a fast start in the 2022 recruiting cycle, currently holding verbal pledges from 11 rising seniors and having their class sitting at an impressive 7th in the current Rivals Team Rankings.

The Scarlet Knights are not done yet and I believe, despite talk of a "small class", that they will sign 20+ recruits when it's all said and done. There are still many offers out there and there's always the possibility of Greg Schiano getting out his spatula to flip a prospect committed elsewhere at the moment.

In today's edition of Inside The Banks presented by The Scarlet Spotlight podcast, I take a look at some of the targets remaining on RU's board and give thoughts on if the program is truly a contender for their services or if they are a pretender, and don't have a realistic shot.

This week we start with the offers on offense and next week we move to the defensive side of the ball.
