Rutgers sent shock waves through the college basketball world on Wednesday when the Scarlet Knights landed a commitment from No. 2 senior Dylan Harper, who had been the highest-ranked uncommitted prospect in the country. While they had been considered the favorite for Harper over the past few months, the commitment (along with the previous signing of No. 3 Airious "Ace" Bailey) gave Rutgers two of the top three recruits in the 2024 class and the No. 2 recruiting class in the country -- a stunning development for Steve Pikiell's program.
Harper, a 6-foot-5 guard from Don Bosco Prep (New Jersey), is a terrific offensive player with size and a high basketball IQ. He can score at all three levels and also possesses good vision and a willingness to create shots for teammates.
