There is no question that year one for Steve Pikiell at Rutgers was a resounding success. While the program was at a low point when he took over in April of 2016, his influence on every aspect led to major progress last season. Rutgers won more than double the games they did the previous year, as well as more Big Ten victories than ever before, including the first conference tournament win since joining the league in 2014. However, there is no question there is still a long way for this program to go, one that is searching for their first winning campaign in 12 seasons.
