Rutgers Lands Quinnipiac Transfer Peter Kiss (UPDATED)

Former Quinnipiac combo guard Peter Kiss has signed with Rutgers after committing during his official visit on April 23.

The 6-foot-5 Kiss, who also considered Seton Hall and Auburn, will sit the 2017-18 season and then have three years to play.

“First and foremost, Peter Kiss is a terrific young man who comes from a wonderful family,” said Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell. “My staff and I are thrilled to add a guy who truly loves the game of basketball and will work tirelessly to make Rutgers basketball better. Peter is a high-level athlete who our fans will enjoy cheering for every time he takes the court. Peter plays with a swagger and a chip on his shoulder and those are the exact qualities we will need from our team as we prepare to climb the ranks of the Big Ten Conference. We are very excited to welcome Peter, as well as his parents, Ida and Peter, to the Scarlet Knight family.”
