BREAKING NEWS: Steve Pikiell Could Not Afford To Lose A Talented Player And Ready To Sign $94M DEAL

Rutgers men’s basketball is getting a lot of attention because the Big Ten team is ranked in the ESPN top 25 for the next campaign.

According to ESPN writer Jeff Borzello’s ranking, Rutgers is ranked No. 21. One of five Big Ten programs listed on the initial preseason top 25, they trail Maryland by one spot.

With Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, two McDonald’s All-Americans, visiting school in June, there are high hopes for Rutgers to have an exceptional campaign.

The top team according to Borzello’s projections is Duke. Having won consecutive national titles, UConn ranks fourth in the country.

Writing about Rutgers, Borzello provides a counterbalance to the excitement around Bailey and Haper’s debut as Scarlet Knights:

Raedyn Bruens insists that the unauthorized visit continue. Even if there was an earthquake during that tour that happened only twenty-five minutes away from Rutgers.

It was Bruens’s first time on campus during his two-day visit to Rutgers.

Bruens is a three-star edge rusher who attends Mosley High School in Lynn Haven, Florida. According to 247Sports, he is regarded as the 69th best edge rusher in the country and the 117th best athlete in Florida for this recruiting cycle.

Among others, FAU, Jacksonville State, South Florida, Troy, and Tulane have extended offers to him.

He arrived at Rutgers for the weekend on Friday. Not even two hours into the visit, something extraordinary occurred.

Well, if Bruens had noticed it at that moment, it would have been noteworthy.
