I love Todderick's justification. Basically the kid didn't get the full Rutgers experience because he couldn't go to NYC with other recruits. That place really must be a hell hole if one of their main selling points is that you can get to a different state in an hour. I bet you can count the number of times football players actually make it to the city in their 4 years at Rutgers on one hand.
 
[B]Official visit cut short[/B]
Simmons – [URL='http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2013/10/lamont_simmons_the_6-2_nationally_recruited_florida_cornerback_commits_to_rutgers.html'][U]who committed to Rutgers before ever even visiting campus[/U][/URL] – wasn't able to get to Rutgers until the Saturday of his official visit weekend, due to having a game the night before. Therefore, he missed the trip to New York City with commit Jacob Kraut – also from Jacksonville – and any other potential recruits who may have been down that weekend. Simmons ended up taking the trip to New York City on Sunday, but by that time any other recruits had already gone home.
So he didn't get the full Rutgers experience during his trip to the banks. Not to mention, being that he is from Florida, the two days he spent on the Rutgers campus was likely the only time he would have been afforded to explore up until his would-be arrival time next summer.
