Coach Pikiell Remarks "We are thrilled to welcome Will to Rutgers," Pikiell said. "He is exactly the type of player we want in our program — a versatile, high-IQ forward who can impact the game on both ends of the floor. Will has proven himself at the college level, and we believe his best basketball is ahead of him here in Piscataway."
Player Remarks "I'm extremely excited to join The Knighthood," Sydnor said. "The coaches made it a great visit. The campus is beautiful, and the training staff, support staff, and everyone involved made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Everything was first-class and very well put together. You can tell there is a strong culture here, and I truly believe this is a place where we can win."
