Besides the Mulkey connection, there are more LSU-Rutgers connections: Rutgers president William Tate and new athletic director Kelli Zinn both previously worked at LSU.
"We are thrilled to welcome Gary and his family to Rutgers," Zinn said. "Having worked with him previously, I've seen firsthand the energy, commitment, and competitive mindset he brings to coaching. Coach Redus is well known as one of the top recruiters in the country, with an exceptional ability to create relationships and attract elite talent. He is an outstanding teacher of the game with a reputation for developing student-athletes to reach their fullest potential."

I've read the thread and Kim has managed to bring in top-rated talent before Redus II joined her at LSU.
Redus II claims that he knows Rutgers well. I don't know what that means, but I hope it also means knowing and being in touch with high schools and/or AAU programs that can feed into Rutgers ranging from the Newark and Paterson areas to the Jersey shore to name but a few that produce top-rate talent.
