The Rutgers men’s basketball team has had three scholarships available for next season and Steve Pikiell quickly found an intriguing player to fill one spot with. 3-star guard Caleb McConnell visited campus this weekend and wasted little time in committing to the program. He announced on Sunday night from his twitter account:
The 6’5” guard from Ohio is rated a 3-star recruit by 247 sports, who list offers from West Virginia, Wichita State, UMASS, St. Bonaventure, Akron, and Ohio, among others. McConnell played this past season at the SPIRE Academy in Jacksonville, Florida. He is a versatile guard who can handle the basketball, score in multiple ways, defend multiple positions and rebound, making him a good fit in Steve Pikiell’s backcourt.
