Big Ten Summer Basketball Preview: Rutgers Scarlet Knights
How’s it going, y’all? We’re back once again with a Big Ten Basketball Preview! Today we’re going to be checking in on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, who are coming off a 14-20 season (6-14 in conference). Honestly, Rutgers is one of the few teams that didn’t really lose a whole lot in the transfer portal. […]
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are the focus of the Big Ten Basketball Preview. The team had a 14-20 season, with only a few transfers leaving the program. Dylan Grant and Harun Zrno were the main losses, but retained their leading scorer Tariq Francis, who averaged 17 points per game last season. Francis, an undersized guard at 6 feet tall, compensates with quickness and a tough playing style.
The team is bolstered by the additions of Darin Smith Jr., a 6'7" wing who averaged 20.7 points and 5.4 rebounds last season, and Rasheed Jones, a 6'6" guard who averaged 14.8 points per game, primarily from beyond the arc where he shot 36.7%. The Ducks are scheduled to host Rutgers this season, though the exact date has not been determined.
