Rutgers basketball has picked up a third commitment for its 2020 class on the final day of the early signing period.

Prolific Prep (Napa, California) forward Mawot Mag announced his pledge to head coach Steve Pikiell’s program on Instagram on Wednesday night before the Scarlet Knights took on Stephen F. Austin. He signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday afternoon, he told NJ Advance Media.

“Words can’t even describe how I feel,” Mag told NJ Advance Media. “Beyond blessed and ready to go to help my team win.”

The 6-foot-7, 215 pound forward chose Rutgers over an offer from Cal State Fullerton. He joins fellow forwards Dean Reiber and Oskar Palmquist in Rutgers’ 2020 class.

“I really liked Coach Pikiell,” Mag told NJ Advance Media last month. “We had numerous great conversations during my (official) visit. He likes the way I play, and I like his coaching style.”

Mag officially visited Piscataway in October after picking up an offer in September. He watched the Scarlet Knights perform at MidKnight Madness and as they put the final touches on their preseason preparations.

His hosts were guard Geo Baker and forward Myles Johnson.

“My visit was really good,” he said following his trip. “I enjoyed every part of it. Nice campus, environment and people all over the place. They’re really good dudes. We were just cooling.”

Mag fits the mold of what Pikiell values -- a tough, physical player who can rebound and defend -- according his high school coach.

“(Rutgers) really liked Mawot because they’re looking for tough, positionless guys that could guard multiple positions and guys that can shoot,” Philippe Doherty, Co-Director of Prolific Prep, told ScarletNation’s Matt Agnoli in September. “Mawot is a guy that probably plays like three positions. He’s like a 2/3/4. He’s a really good shooter but he plays unbelievably hard, so he’s really physical. So he’s a 6-7 wing, extremely physical, can really guard and he can really shoot.”

The Scarlet Knights now have a single open scholarship for the 2020 recruiting cycle.
