After an offseason that has included more questions than answers, Rutgers men’s basketball fans can finally breath a sigh of relief. Geo Baker announced his decision to return to Rutgers for a fifth season on Wednesday. The NCAA allowed for an additional year of eligibility due to COVID-19 and after testing the NBA Draft waters, Baker ultimately decided to take advantage of the rare opportunity. He cited “unfinished business” in this video announcing his return.
It was long expected within the program that Baker would ultimately return for next season. He had entered the NBA Draft process without signing with an agent, thus maintaining his eligibility.
