Aundre Hyatt Announces Return to RU for 2023-24 Season - Rutgers University Athletics
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – One of Rutgers men's basketball's top contributors in 2022-23 will be back for one more season with the Scarlet Knights.

That's doubly good news. First, he's a valuable member of the team and second, he will complete his master's degree. Good for him!
Absolutely glad he returned. Can never have too much experience on the bench.
He’ll be behind cliff, mag, Gavin, Paul, Simpson, Fernandez, and spencer. That’s not even debatable. You really gonna argue that?
Can't really see much of an argument Hyatt is ahead of any of these guys. Solid 8th man agreed. Big difference with Hyatt as a bench guy where he can play a little more when he's hot vs needing to rely on him for scoring and major minutes on a nightly basis
Off chance he finally puts it together bc he does have talent but we don't necessarily NEED a big year from him with other options
According to the link above if Davis and Ndongo sign we still have one available.
So if Paul and Cliff are back and Hyatt is the eight man...Then I guess we have Wolf, Chol and hopefully Ndongo and Davis....Am I missing anyone?
If we can avoid the injury bug and the remaining commits sign and show up, we will be so much deeper than we were since... ?
Players out, players in:
Caleb (D monster, inconsistent O) - closest replacement is Gavin, who probably will be far better on O and far worse on D.
Miller (okay D, nonexistent on O) - closest replacement is Fernandes - huge upgrade
Reiber (big step back from the previous year, where he showed flashes at times) - shall we say this is the Baye slot, if he signs and comes? That would be a huge upgrade.
Palmquist (good outside shot when he finally was forced into the rotation, but not a glaring loss) Replacement is Davis, not a position for position swap but that's the other newcomer expected. Looks like an upgrade, too, although a completely different skill set.
Cliff, Paul, Mag (please heal up!), Spencer, Simpson, Hyatt, and Woolfolk. Chol as the raw guy, let's see how he develops.
Room for one more scholarship player.
The point is… welcome back Aundre!!
Glad you are deciding to stay for your final season. I hope you have a spectacular year!

His two most memorable moments are the free throws at Indiana and the turnaround at minnesota.
Glad he’s back. He is a solid player.

Who cares, 6th, 7th, 8th man. Whatever..
Different games, different situations..He is coming back, & will be a valuable contributor..

Or possibly 6th if Mag isn’t ready to go and the matchup favors him getting in before Simpson (and if we don’t get Ndongo or Mbako).
Hyatt's value will be probably be highest early in the season if Mag isn't ready depending on how the finals roster shakes out with whoever else we land who can play the 4
