Issa Thiam is a 3-star recruit who committed to Rutgers in February and had reopened his commitment once Eddie Jordan was fired. Greg "Shoes" Vetrone recruited Issa to Rutgers originally and stayed on him during the entire process. Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell retained Shoes in a support role and his connections with the Canaris Basketball Academy have paid dividends for the new coaching staff almost immediately .
