The Backcourt Should Be Better This Season For Rutgers Basketball

Last season, just over half of the team’s scoring and three of the top four scorer’s on the roster resided in the backcourt. Corey Sanders led the way with 12.8 points per game, followed by Nigel Johnson with 11.3 points per game, while Mike Williams added 9.4 points per contest. Despite the loss of Johnson due to him transferring to Virginia, Rutgers should have a more balanced and stronger backcourt this season.

There are several reasons for this. The first being the additions of JUCO transfer point guard, Souf Mensah, as as well former 3-star recruit and freshman combo guard, Geo Baker.
