Notable Quotes:

Orangebloods.com hoops analyst Dustin McComas on Jacob Young:

"The best way to describe Jacob is he will never going to walk onto the court either afraid or lacking of confidence. He's always been a very confident and aggressive player, with a tremendous work ethic."

2019 LB recruit Ethan Umstead on hanging with Coach Hales on a recent visit:

“Coach Omar is a great coach. He is definitely is a good dude. He’ll be completely honest with you and cares for you for sure. I really liked him as a coach and he’s good at what he does.”

2019 Camden DB Donald Williams on his commitment to Rutgers:

“I decided to commit to Rutgers because of the amount of love they have shown me, it's been crazy. They showed that they actually care about me aside from football. Coach Ash and I have a great bond with each other. When a great bond with the head coach like Ash and he takes the time out of his very busy schedule to talk to me it means a lot. He just has the casual conversations with me all the time, asking how I’m doing and all that, it feels special.”
