Keep an eye out on Rutgers this year. Pikiell and his staff did a terrific job in landing a top-five recruiting class in the country. According to 247Sports, signees Ace Bailey (No. 2) and Dylan Harper (No. 4) are both top-five players nationally. Each will be building blocks moving forward with the expanded Big Ten. Losing Cliff Omoyuri was a loss, though the Scarlet Knights should be pretty decent this upcoming year. Pikiell’s job security could be on the line, as he’s only won 20 games once in eight years with the university.
