Steve Pikiell and Rutgers Basketball will have to replace four key players in 2018-19

Four players, including three of the best, are gone from Rutgers basketball.

After Rutgers incredibly fun run in the Big Ten Tournament, the Scarlet Knights graduated three players in Deshawn Freeman, Mike Williams and Candido Sa. And then Corey Sanders opted to leave school early and go pro. Freeman and Sanders were two of Rutgers leading scorers and Williams and Sa played important roles down the stretch for Rutgers. In fact, few fans may remember it, but Sa was playing really well for Rutgers until injuring his shoulder late in the season.

But head coach Steve Pikiell is tireless and six new faces will be on the court when Rutgers tips off against FDU on November 9th at the RAC.
