Biruta to Remain at Rutgers

After meeting Thursday morning with Rutgers AD Tim Pernetti, Gilvydas Biruta has decided to remain committed to Rutgers, multiple sources with knowledge said Thursday.

The 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward from St. Benedict’s Prep had initially asked to be released from his Letter of Intent.

He went so far as to list the schools he was considering going to.

“Seton Hall, Maryland, Creighton, Georgia Tech, Arizona State, these are the schools,” he said last Saturday night at the Jordan Brand Regional Game.

NCAA rules prohibit players from signing two National Letters of Intent in one year, so Biruta would had to either sign a financial aid agreement with his second school or get his Rutgers NLI declared “null and void.”
