Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood comprehends the importance of playing in front of top recruits at home, and there is no better time to showcase the atmosphere at High point Solutions Stadium than Saturday night when the Scarlet Knights host Penn State for the school's inaugural Big Ten conference game.

"Any time you play a home game, and for us, the night game atmosphere at High Point Solutions Stadium is second to none in the country," said Flood at a press conference Monday. "People will get a chance to see that all over the country this week on BTN, which I think is a great opportunity for our program, and for our fan base and for our community here in Rutgers football. And any time you have that kind of atmosphere on a Saturday night, you also have an opportunity to have a lot of recruits there because most of them play on Friday or Saturday afternoon, and we'll have quite a few of them here and I'm excited about their opportunity to see us play."

"Quite a few" was right, as NJ.com has confirmed that many of the top recruits throughout the Northeast will be in attendance for the big game. Phil Galiano, director of recruiting, with help from the entire Rutgers staff, has assembled a guest list most coaches across the country would covet, including:
