There's an influx of international talent in college basketball this yearNOVEMBER 6, 2025 • Associated Press
Dylan Grant - Solid start to sophomore campaign Grant notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 81-53 win over Rider.
Impact Grant was highly efficient from the field and managed to get to the charity stripe seven times, notching 17 points for the second-highest scoring output of his career. The forward also pulled down seven boards, contributing on the glass as well. Grant should be a fixture of this Scarlet Knights' front court.

Tariq Francis - Leading scorer for Scarlet Knights Francis supplied 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 81-53 win over Rider.
Impact Francis canned four triples in his high-major debut in Piscataway. The NJIT transfer was a walking bucket last season as a sophomore, but questions remained about how that production would translate to the Big Ten. It's a long season, and conference play is a ways away still, but the early returns on Francis are excellent.

Dorian Jones - Redshirting in 2025-2026 Jones will take a redshirt year in 2025-2026, per Alec Crouthamel of On3.com.
Impact Jones will take a redshirt year in his freshman season, meaning he won't be available to play at all in 2025-2026 for the Scarlet Knights. The 6-foot-4 guard from Cleveland will look to make an impact in Piscataway next season.
