Thursday night, JUCO DT Raymond Ellis became Jeff Brohm's first commitment as head coach of the Boilermakers. That means that Rutgers is the only team in the conference without a player in the 2018 class.

For those of you who picked the Scarlet Knights, congrats you were correct.

The next question is, when will Chris Ash receive his first verbal for '18?

Today? This weekend? Before the end of April? May? Before the start of summer conditioning?

Put on your Nostradamus hat and if you pick the exact date Rutgers picks up its first '18 recruit you will win the internet...or some people on a certain Buckeye website will think, "Damn, that reader has some mad predicting skills."

Either way, Ash, Brohm and Lovie Smith (1 recruit) have some work to do.
