Don’t look now, but with the summer officially underway, the beginning of the 2017-2018 college basketball season is just under five months away. The Rutgers men’s basketball team is looking to improve on their 15-18 record in head coach Steve Pikiell’s debut season on the banks. While there is still one open scholarship remaining, the roster has come into focus and a minimum of three newcomers will be in the mix for minutes next season. Let’s review the departures from last season, the new additions and what they can potentially bring to the roster.
Departures
CJ Gettys - graduation
Nigel Johnson - transferred to Virginia
Jonathan Laurent - transferred to UMass
Ibrahima Diallo - transferred, destination undetermined
Peter Kiss
The Quinnipiac transfer will have to sit out this coming season, before having three years of eligibility remaining.
