Givens to Rutgers, maybe
It looks like former Penn State commit Darrell Givens is headed to Piscataway. Although ESPN first reported the potential move, the Star-Ledger brings up a problem for Rutgers that was the same problem for Penn State: Givens' grades.
A person with knowledge of the team's thought process said that while the Scarlet Knights are pursuing the cornerback, there are "obstacles and hurdles to clear."That leads me to wonder, just how bad are Givens' grades that even other schools are struggling to get him accepted? Rutgers is not a bad school. But this should raise a red flag on Givens.

Rutgers makes a big deal of their academic standards and the high rate of progress toward graduation of their athletes. They are having a dismal 2010 recruiting year (#61 nationally thus far) and perhaps some standards are being compromised. Given the stadium expansion and slow season tricket sales, there must be a lot of pressure to field a decent team. This bears watching.
