Where's Rutgers on this Jersey prospect?
- Thread starter RU-Kidding
- Start date
For whatever reason, it seems Rutgers rarely recruits from Shore Conference schools. I'm sure I'm missing some, but the only ones from recent memory that went P5 are:
Elijah McAllister from Rumson Fair Haven to Vanderbilt. He was a TE in HS. RU offerred. I see he just transferred as DE to Auburn.
Tim Wright was from Wall High School.
Going way back, Knowshon Moreno went to Middletown HS.
A couple/few Red Bank Catholic kids went P5, but can't think of names.
To be clear, not saying schools from "the shore" but from the "Shore Conference, which is Monmouth County plus the Pt. Beach and Pt. Boro high schools.
Quenton Nelson was a shore kid also correct?
A few others off the top of my head in recent history;
Pickett - Ocean Township / Pitt
Garrett Sickels - Red Bank / PSU
Yes, Quinton Nelson - RBC / ND. Raised in Holmdel
Anthony Brown - SJV / BC/Oregon
True, but surprised no one even mentioned one of them.
There is even a thread about one those guys on the Board right now. Although it has pivoted into something else…surprise, surprise.
Pickett and Sickels, huge misses by me. Pickett was a huge miss by a lot of colleges.
Which thread?True, but surprised no one even mentioned one of them.

One was Micah Clark.
Hansen and Beatty where the other two from SJV. I was in the mindset of only listing Shore kids that actually made some significant contributions on the NCAA field of play.
Oops. Let's not forget longsnapper Rick Lovato of the Eagles from Middletown South?

Wasn’t there someone from Barnegat HS fairly recently as well?

My area , the Shore, traditionally produces way more busts than productive players. Certainly some good players mentioned above, so perhaps that is changing.
Big Ten recruiting needs to be at a level way beyond county boundaries. It’s all about talent, not where they hail from.
I forget the criterion, but only certain Ocean County HS's are in the Shore conference:
Pt Boro
Pt Beach
Southern Regional (Manahawkin)
Lakewood
Manchester
Barnegat, Pinelands, the Toms River high schools and others are not part of the Shore Conference, but play many Shore Conference schools.
Agreed. NJ has a hell of a lot more talent than just the Bergen/ Bosco/ Joes Schools that Rutgers seem to be infatuated with but gets burned when those kids always seem to go elsewhere.
That’s a very old link from 2013. All the schools you mentioned are part of the Shore conference.
Thanks. The wonders of the internet and misinformation never cease to confuse those easily confused.
The Scarlet Knights app sent me that link.
Clark was from Holmdel. Isnt that located in the strange area that people are trying to rename between north and south NJ?
Shore conference Wrestling, Basketball (men’s and women’s)and lacrosse (men’s and women’s) have produced and will produce some good talent over the next couple of years.
Shore Football Conference during 2022-2023 rotation
name escapes me but didn't we have a really good player from Manchester back during GS 1.0? Edit, just remembered it was Kevin Malast
also of note Jay Bellamy from Matawan and Art Forst from Manasquan and Clark Harris is from the shore conference as well
