What are the five most interesting out-of-conference games for Rutgers women’s basketball?

On Thursday, the offseason for Rutgers women’s basketball reached a significant milestone. The Scarlet Knights released their non-conference schedule, which features plenty of exciting matchups. After finishing the 2022-2023 campaign with a 12-20 record Rutgers will be looking to rebound, starting with non-conference play.

Jeanine Wasielewski joins the Rutgers family

Rutgers women’s basketball has a new director of player engagement.

Rutgers women’s basketball added a new face to their coaching staff on Wednesday with the addition of Jeanine Wasielewski. She brings 14 years of experience, including six seasons in the Big Ten. Wasielewski will serve as an assistant coach and Director of Player Enhancement.

Before coming to Piscataway, Wasielewski was the head coach at Southwestern Michigan College. She led the Roadrunners to an 18-9 record last season and was a key part of the program’s revival. That is one of the many reasons her hiring has been met with excitement.

“Jeanine truly has an incredible basketball mind,” head coach Coquese Washington said in a statement released by Rutgers athletics. ” Her background in analytics and statistical breakdown will be of tremendous benefit to our program. In addition, Jeanine is an experienced teacher of the game and has helped grow the basketball knowledge of players under her guidance at each of her coaching stops. There is no question, she will have a positive impact on Scarlet Knights women’s basketball.”

While Wasielewski has recently made headlines due to her coaching, she also has extensive development with development. From 2017-2019 she was part of Coquese Washington’s coaching staff at Penn State. During her time as a Nittany Lion, Wasielewski helped with the team’s offense, practice, and game planning. She also helped bring a top-15 recruit to Happy Valley.

Regardless of the role, success has always seemed to follow Wasielewski. During her collegiate career at Northwestern, she was part of two NCAA tournament teams. She will be looking to bring that success to Piscataway.

With Wasielewski now in Piscataway, the future for Rutgers just got brighter.
