There is a strong possibility that the Rutgers men's basketball team will enter next season with as many as three less scholarship players on the roster than allowed by NCAA rules. That's never a good thing, but certainly understandable with the massive rebuild that new head coach Steve Pikiell and his staff have begun. A major concern with the lack of depth is that one or two injuries to key players would derail the season very quickly. Last season, Rutgers started the season with just eleven scholarship players. Due to season ending injuries to Deshawn Freeman, Shaq Doorson, and Ibrahima Diallo, Rutgers played over half the season with just eight scholarship players.
