Rutgers basketball coach Steve Pikiell believes one of his seniors could be in store for a breakthrough season.
Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell believes senior forward Aundre Hyatt, seen here dunking against Penn State in January, will have a "breakthrough" season.— the trio that led Rutgers in average playing time last season, combining for 96.5 minutes per game — left the program this offseason, opening opportunities for the Scarlet Knights who stayed. Of the seven returnees, Hyatt seems to be benefitting the most from that change.“He has been terrific.
But with a bigger role than ever in store, he “has really taken his game to the next level,” Pikiell said. Hyatt elected to head elsewhere to spend his final three seasons of eligibility, and he decided to do so at the school he spurned for LSU. Rutgerswith open arms in April of 2021, and after a reserve role in his first year and a break-in-case-of-emergency role in his second, he is set to be a leader for the Scarlet Knights in his third and final season in Piscataway.
