While the search continues for the Rutgers men’s basketball coaching staff to fill the last spot on the roster for next season, that hasn’t prevented them from keeping a sharp eye on the future. Andrew Slater of the The Athletic reported this weekend that 4-star forward Xavier Foster from the class of 2020 visited Rutgers on Sunday. This is a big time prospect from the Midwest and shows that the recruiting footprint that Steve Pikiell is forming includes traditional Big Ten country.
Rivals rates Foster as a 5-star recruit and the 20th best player in the class of 2020, the highest of any recruiting services.
