As the summer moves closer, the desire for Rutgers men’s basketball to add another big man to the roster for next season remains strong. Although recent signee Aundre Hyatt will likely play the majority of his minutes at the four, there is a belief among fans that a center to replace the departed Myles Johnson is a must. It’s a traditional view that high major teams need to have multiple true centers on the roster, but it’s something that is less of a reality in college basketball today.
Rutgers was fortunate to have two rotational players last season at 6’11” in Johnson and Cliff Omoruyi.
