Bobi Klintman has Rutgers basketball in his top six, the small forward from Sweden including the Scarlet Knights as he pared down his list this week.
Listed as 6-foot-8 and 200 pounds, Klintman is a three-star prospect according to Rivals. His list of six programs includes Rutgers, Big Ten rival Maryland as well as Kansas, Virginia, Texas A&M and Loyola-Chicago.
For Rutgers basketball, it is an interesting development as the class of 2022 has a solid core including three-star guard Derek Simpson and three-star forward Braeden Moore. Both players committed to the Scarlet Knights over this past summer. Simpson is considered a late bloomer and Moore had a very solid offer list when he chose Rutgers.

In terms of fit, Klintman seems ideal for head coach Steve Pikiell’s system. He boasts good length, rebounds well and plays good defense. He has the ability to shoot from behind the arc and he is a good distributor of the ball.
Perhaps helping in this recruitment for Rutgers is forward Oskar Palmquist. A member of Sweden’s U20 national team, Palmquist joined the program in 2019 and was a redshirt. Last year, he appeared in 12 games and showed some promise as a shooter.
