Steve Pikiell is entering his eighth basketball season at Rutgers and this one could be very different. Change is the watchword for the Scarlet Knights. The roster is almost unrecognizable, the style of play is uncertain, and so is what's in store for the program heading into another Big Ten season.
Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell speaks during Big Ten NCAA college basketball Media Days Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023, in Minneapolis. FILE - Rutgers’ Cliff Omoruyi dunks against Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game at the Big Ten Conference tournament, Thursday, March 11, 2021, in Indianapolis.

Last season had the potential to be a great year with the Scarlet Knights on the verge of a third straight NCAA berth with a 16-7 record. They went 3-7 down the stretch and missed the show with a 19-15 record, including 10-10 in the Big Ten. They got an NIT bid and lost to Hofstra in the first round.
The incoming freshmen are led by 6-foot-8 shooting guard Gavin Griffiths, one of the highest rated recruits in school history, and quick point guard Jamichael Davis. The transfer list is led by point guard Noah Fernandes from Massachusetts. All are expected to play major minutes.
