Hall of Fame head coach C. Vivian Stringer took a major gamble before the season by adding three sit-out transfers, crippling the depth of the roster before the 2016-2017 campaign began. She did this before some bad luck hit, as star Tyler Scaife was declared out for the season due to a medical condition, which depleted an already thin roster. What resulted was the worst season in program history for the Rutgers women’s basketball team. A 6-24 record and ending the season on a 11 game losing streak was bad enough. Having their top three leading scorers from last season leave the program, in addition to a fourth player also transferring, which was announced on Monday, is even worse.
