Myles Johnson primed for breakout season for Rutgers basketball

Rutgers center Myles Johnson uses the Twitter handle “Myles the Monster” and there is reason to believe his online alter ego will manifest into reality on the basketball court this season, making him a real life nightmare for opponents. The redshirt sophomore is as positive a development story for head coach Steve Pikiell as any player he has had at Rutgers so far. He was a 3-star recruit who was injured much of his high school senior season and held no other high major offers besides Rutgers thanks to former assistant Jay Young. Now Johnson has the opportunity to breakout as one of the best big men in the Big Ten this season.
