Final 2009-2010 Rutgers Projection:

Coach Hill has some pieces in place. Rosario and Echenique are a great sophomore duo to build around and there is some depth on the perimeter with Mike Coburn capable of handling the ball. This team should be better than they were last year, but this is still the Big East and expecting a vast amount of improvement just is not realistic.

Projected Post-season Tournament: CBI/CIT

2009-2010 Rutgers Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• James Beatty, Junior, Guard, DNP last season
• Mike Rosario, Sophomore, Guard, 16.2 points per game
• Earl Pettis, Junior, Guard, 4.6 points per game
• Gregory Echenique, Sophomore, Forward, 8.4 points per game
• Hamady N’Diaye, Senior, Center, 5.6 points per game
