Former Georgetown F Whittington heading to Rutgers

Former Georgetown Hoyas forward Greg Whittington is headed to Rutgers to finish his college career.

The 6-foot-8 forward, who was dismissed from the Hoyas program late last month, confirmed to ESPN.com that he committed to Eddie Jordan while on a visit this weekend.

Whittington also received interest from Memphis, Nebraska and South Carolina recently.

Whittington was set to be a major piece for the Hoyas this year but suffered a torn ACL in the summer, and it was questionable whether he would have been able to return this season if he had remained with the Hoyas.
