The Justin Sofman Tour is on.

Sofman, a 6-4 freshman guard who will transfer from Rutgers, visited Albany on Wednesday and enjoyed his time there.

“We enjoyed the visit very much. Everybody was extremely accomodating and enthusiastic,” said Steve Sofman, Justin’s dad. “It’s a beautiful campus and a very positive environment.”

Sofman,a former Herald News All-Area selection from West Milford High, will visit Monmouth Friday and FDU and Iona next week. He will have to sit out next season as per NCAA tranfer regulations.
