With the departure of CJ Gettys due to graduation, Rutgers desperately needed to find another big man to replace him in the paint next season. Today the program received good news, as 3-star forward Myles Johnson announced he was committing to Rutgers.
Signing a player out of high school this late in the recruiting cycle was a bit unexpected, but gives head coach Steve Pikiell a four year player who could become a big part of the future for the program. While Rutgers appears to be the only high major offer that Johnson received, a reason for that is he missed his entire junior season due to a broken kneecap.
