Here it is late July and the likelihood of head coach Steve Pikiell entering his first season at Rutgers with just 10 scholarship players grows stronger by the day. The lack of depth is a major concern entering next season. The rough and tumble Big Ten conference can be unforgiving to teams without a full roster, as Rutgers found out the hard way last season. Even so, I find Pikiell’s refusal to take players that are available, but who he doesn’t feel are Big Ten caliber, encouraging. It is part of his ethos as a proven program builder. There are no shortcuts.
