Rakeem Christmas, the No. 1 center in the Class of 2011, is now a free agent.
As first reported here Tuesday, Christmas and his aunt, Amira Hamid, visited Rutgers earlier this week.
Now it appears that the 6-foot-8 Christmas, who had earlier cut his list to five schools, is wide open in his recruitment.
“His recruiting is open again. No list,” said Kevin Givens, head coach at Academy of the New Church.
Christmas had cut his list to Georgetown, Florida, Florida International, Texas and Oklahoma, but Rutgers is now trying to break into the mix.
Associate head coach David Cox recruited Christmas for two years at Georgetown and has a strong connection with Christmas and his aunt.
Rutgers may or may not end up getting Christmas, but his recruitment is now open to new suitors.
