With the addition of McClung, Rutgers is also in the running for another guard in the class of 2018.

Montez Mathis, a 6-foot-4 guard who is ranked 79th overall in the class of 2018 according to 247, had been expected to announce on Friday between Rutgers and UConn but then said he would hold off on his decision.
