September 30, 2024: The 2023-24 season was obviously a disappointment for the Scarlet Knights as they failed to make the tournament for the second straight year. It wasn't entirely unexpected with the loss of Paul Mulcahy and Cam Spencer to the transfer portal.

However, Rutgers made a huge splash by early Spring where it became clear that they were going to land two top 5 high school recruits in Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. (To put it in perspective, MSU has only had one class with 2 top 5 recruits in recent memory with Zach Randolph and Marcus Taylor.) It was widely believed with those two "one and dones" amongst a veteran lineup headed by Cliff Omoruyi that this could be a very special team.

Unfortunately for Steve Pikiell and the Knights, essentially the entire team departed in the portal including Omoruyi. This has left the team without any core of returning players and will now have to rely heavily on these talented freshmen and hope to get lucky on a transfer or two.
