SEASON PREVIEW
Rutgers men’s basketball heads into the 2008-09 season with a positive
energy and many tangible assets. The team returns seven players
with starting experience among eight letterwinners. The Scarlet
Knights also welcome the highest-rated recruiting class in school history
into the fold. Ranked 19th by Scout.com, the group is comprised
of four nationally-rated prospects, including the first McDonald’s All-
American in program history. Considering these elements, along with
noted relationship-builder and tactician Fred Hill entering his thirdyear,
there is reason for not only optimism, but additional victories “On
the Banks.”
“My goal for this program has remained the same from day one,” said
Hill. “We intend to be a first class program that competes at a national
level for a BIG EAST and National Championship.We are making
steady progress toward this goal. There is still work to be done, but
everything we do as a program has a plan and purpose. I am very
proud of what has been accomplished thus far, but I am very far from
being satisfied. To be a successful basketball coach in the BIG EAST
Conference means never being satisfied.” FULL STORY
