Twins Caleb and Cody Martin will take an official visit to Rutgers Monday-Wednesday, they confirmed to SNY.tv on Sunday night.
The transferring N.C. State guards visited ECU last week after California cancelled an expected visit following the signing of Columbia transfer Grant Mullins.
“It was good,” Cody Martin said of the ECU visit. “They have great coaches and players with a good environment. We had a lot of fun.”
Rutgers continues to look to build its roster under first-year coach Steve Pikiell, who recently added San Jacinto College forward Cândido Sá, and hopes to add 6-9 forward Issa Thiem in the coming days. Last week Rutgers hosted Syracuse transfer Chino Obokoh but he chose St. Bonaventure instead.
Caleb finished fourth on the Wolfpack in scoring, averaging 11.5 points per game, while Cody averaged 6 points per game. The twins are North Carolina natives.
“Through a series of honest, thoughtful and somewhat surprising conversations we have had in the days since our season ended, Caleb and Cody have informed me of their desire to explore options that they believe are in both of their best interests,” N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried said when they decided to transfer.
“While I don’t share all of their views, I have certainly come to understand and respect the unique dynamic and special bond that exists between identical twins, especially when they play the same sport for the same team. I enjoyed coaching them over the past two years.”
The Rutgers visit was first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.
