2011 power forward Kadeem Jack has announced a verbal commitment to Rutgers, becoming the third member of Coach Rice's class. Rutgers is quickly off to a fast start in recruiting, as Jack is considered a four star prospect. You'd figure that wing Mike Taylor is good possibility now. As for point guards, with Quinn Cook favoring Duke, other names left on the board include Myles Mack, Naadir Tharpe, and Eli Carter.

Jack's commitment is welcome enough on its own, but doubly so considering Tyree Graham's knee surgery. This was already going to be a long year on the court, and now Rutgers will be hard pressed to win many Big East games without Graham.
