Welcome to episode no. 100 of the On The Banks podcast. What a long, strange trip its been!
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR LISTENERS OVER THESE PAST THREE PLUS YEARS!!!!
For episode no. 100 we welcomed back Rutgers men’s basketball head coach Steve Pikiell. After taking the Scarlet Knights to the NCAA Tournament for the first time 30 years and winning in the big dance for the first time in 38 years, Pikiell spoke at length about the program’s rise and why he thinks this current team will be his best so far next season.
Topics covered include lessons learned from last season, his recruiting philosophy on the trail and with the transfer portal, his support of NIL rights for his players, why keeping the Seton Hall series was important, the versatility and size of the roster, how they’ll be different offensively and defensively, player development this offseason and much more.
