Rutgers might be losing a guard from its 2011 recruiting class, but on Friday the Scarlet Knights picked another one up to take his place.

Elijah Carter of Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy is the latest addition to Rutgers' nationally ranked recruiting class.

Carter, the No. 109 ranked prospect in the Rivals150, takes the place of Mike Taylor, who is expected to prep next year.

According to Carter's father Dale Carter, staying close to home so Elijah's little brother could watch him play was the primary factor in his decision.
