Rutgers Men's Basketball: An Unlikely Trio Set to Lead This Season

In the fall of 2011, the three seniors for the Rutgers men's basketball team were in very different places. Omari Grier was in Boca Raton, Florida starting his freshman year at Florida Atlantic University. Bishop Daniels was 50 miles south of Grier, starting his freshman year at the University of Miami. And Greg Lewis was starting his freshman year here at Rutgers, but for previous head coach Mike Rice. Four years later, the three young men find themselves as the leaders of the Rutgers basketball team, in hopes of accomplishing the program's first winning record in a decade. They are all fifth-year seniors, with Lewis and Daniels taking medical redshirts previously, and Grier sitting out a season when he transferred to Bradley.
