One can’t help feel all the pieces are falling into place in order to revamp a long-suffering Rutgers basketball program. The Scarlet Knights hired a proven, new head coach in Steve Pikiell. No small feat, as he took Stony Brook University from obscurity to the NCAA tournament this year.His first move as coach was to hire Karl Hobbs, a reputable UConn recruiter, for the associate head coach job. Fellow Stony Brook coach and defensive mastermind, Jay Young, has followed him to Piscataway.Also, Pikiell was able to retain long-time RU recruiter Greg Shoes Vetrone and bring in famed Pittsburgh recruiter Brandin Knight.
