If you ask me, Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan will need all the help he can get as he navigates the Scarlet Knights into the Big Ten next season.While Jordan has done respectable on the recruiting trail, he's going to need to lure some upper-echelon talent to compete with the Ohio States, Wisconsins and Indianas of the world.
Today, Jordan landed a high major talent that can help his program. Ex-Georgetown Hoya Greg Whittington announced that he would be transferring to Rutgers.
Whittington was dismissed from the Georgetown program over the Thanksgiving weekend. Last season, Whittington missed the final 13 games of the season due to academic trouble. During the summer, he tore his ACL and had no return scheduled.
Whittington had been recruited by Memphis, Nebraska, South Carolina and Oregon, as he was a highly sought after transfer. If he is healthy, he can be an impact player for the Scarlet Knights.
He averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds during the 2012-2013 season.
