RUTGERS IN THE BIG TEN RANKINGS BAKER, HARPER JR. EARN HONORS With raised expectations come preseason recognitions. Both Geo Baker and Ron Harper Jr. recieved recognition this preseason. Baker was named Preseason All-Big Ten and to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List (nation’s top point guard). Ron Harper Jr. is on the Wooden Award Watch List (top player) and the Julius Erving Award Watch List (top small forward).

80+ CLUB With 11 letterwinners returning, the Scarlet Knights will bring back a large percentage of their production from last season. RU brings back 80% of its scoring, 81% of its rebounding, 92% of its assists, 84% of its steals and 80% of its blocks. Rutgers is one of just two Power 5 programs to bring back at least 80% of production in each category, and the lone team to reach 80% in all five categories in the Big Ten.

HOME COOKING Last year, RU secured the most regular season home wins in the nation (18) and set a program record for home wins in a season. The RAC was ranked among the top-5 venues in the nation by The Front Office.

This season there will be no fans at the RAC at the outset of the season as Rutgers abides by attendance limits set by the Governor’s office. However, there will be cutouts populating the seats, with over 1,000 cutouts throughout the building. Behind the basket are Shining Knight cutouts, honoring pediatric patients facing healthcare challenges. There are also a number of celebrity cutouts of notable Rutgers alumni, the Sopranos cast, famous New Jersey bred celebrites and more spread throughout the arena. Additionally, Rutgers is honoring a number of staff members in facilities and athletic training that served as essential workers, continuing to do their jobs in person throughout the pandemic.

WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL 4? Amidst the challenges that pandemic has brought, sophomore Paul Mulca- hy stepped up to have a proactive and positive voice in the community. He started the ‘Grateful4 Foundation’. Playing off of his uniform number (#4), Mulcahy started a social media initiative challenging others to name four things that they are grateful for, inspiring others to adopt a positive mindset.

BLK DEV In addition to being an elite big man in the Big Ten, junior Myles John- son has always been extremely dedicated to his academic pursuits in the School of Engineering. Recently, he founded the BLKdev organization, which seeks to inspire African-American youths to get involved with the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). He created a website that features educational resources, scholarship appli- cation information, black STEM news and a collection of stories that show representation to the young students he hopes to inspire.

ELEVATED EXPECTATIONS Last season, the Scarlet Knights were picked 12th in the media’s pre- season poll. The team continued to out-perform those expectations in a historic season for the program. This season, RU was pegged fifth in the league in the same poll. In addition, the Scarlet Knights will begin the season nationally ranked in the preseason polls, coming in at No. 23 in the Coaches Poll and No. 24 in the AP poll. It marked the first time since 1978 that Rutgers is nationally ranked in the preseason. CHASING RECORDS because of their diversity of offensive options.

Additionally, walk-on Daniel Lobach took a medical redshirt season last year as a freshman, seeing his first game action this year. JERSEY ROOTS, GLOBAL REACH That Rutgers University motto rings true with the members of the men’s basketball program. The team has a stronghold of key New Jersey play- ers, with four-star signees from New Jersey in three consecutive classes (Cliff Omoruyi (2020), Paul Mulcahy (2019) and Ron Harper, Jr. (2018)) electing to stay home. New Jersey is the most represented state on the program’s roster, with five members of the team playing high school bas- ketball in New Jersey. Overall, the roster is diverse, with eight different states (New Jersey, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Maryland, Florida, Kentucky, Texas and California) and five different countries (USA, Sweden, Australia, Nigeria and Mali) represented.
