No one expect Holmes to commit to RU. Most thought he was going to Maryland or Pitt. Between him and Lowery, RU’s D-line is going to be quite a force in the years to come.

You’re exactly right, I totally thought he was going to the Terps and then I heard Pitt….but for Rutgers to grab him, its fantastic. We really need to build up that interior line and force teams to run outside…right into our speedy linebackers – abreu,witherspoon, etc.

For those that believe that are keeping track of the psu/rutgers recruiting battle…this one goes to the Scarlet Knights as I know for sure that Penn State wanted Holmes.

For an apparently diesel guy, Isaac also claims to run the 40 in 5 seconds flat and have a 29-inch vertical jump, courtesy of scout.com. It’s just what RU D needs… With that combined strength and agility, he’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come…

I use SB Nation for my other sports teams (Cowboys, Texas Rangers and Mavs – Grew up in Dallas/Went to school at Rutgers/reside now in North Jersey) And all these sites are chock full of great conversation and insightful looks at the state of Rutgers. So all, my name is Jared and will be reading this sight constantly. Look forward to dicussing the ascention of Rutgers into BE (if not NC) contention.

BTW Issac Holmes is a beast. Im having a hard tiem discerning which line is gonna be better in 2 years, O or D. What do you guys think?

What time is Justin Brown announcing?

Justin Brown – announced earlier today (around 2pm) to attend Penn State….they got a really good one, as I expect JB to produce right away. Physically, he has all of the tools already, although he only had 27 catches last year, so not like he comes from a throwing system.

Jared – great to have you on board…we’re really excited with the direction of this blog and the support from sbnation. Please feel free to give us your feedback, we’re new and want to hear what you have to say.

Cant beat this time of the year…needless to say that i was watching the updates like a hawk…

personally, I like the future of our defensive line better….I am really excited about the improvement in our linebackers and I think that will only help our dline.

what do you think?
