Yesterday, graduate transfer C.J. Gettys committed to Rutgers while on a visit to the program. It was a big deal in more ways than one. After having just ten scholarship players for next season at the beginning of August, Rutgers has now added crucial depth to the roster in quick order and very late in the process.
Adding Canadian wing Eugene Omoruyi three weeks ago was a great, late pickup from the class of 2016. Omoruyi is strong bodied, an intense defender, and offers versatility for head coach Steve Pikiell. Coupled with the even later addition of Gettys, an eventual starter on NCAA tournament team UNC-Wilmington last season, Rutgers got much deeper ahead of the 2016-2017 season.
