NJIT Men’s Basketball just leveled up with the hiring of Daniel Waddleton Jr. as Director of Analytics and Video Coordinator — a move that’s already paying off after his stellar internship last season, which helped the team smash records with 16 wins and a top-four conference tournament seed. Waddleton, a South Carolina grad with a Sports Management degree and Fox Sports internship under his belt, brings elite film and data chops — plus basketball bloodlines — to the table. Coach Billmeier calls him a “wizard” and says this hire is vital as the game evolves. With Waddleton’s knack for blending stats, storytelling, and basketball IQ, NJIT’s future looks brighter than ever — all powered by analytics, not just instinct.

NJIT student-athletes are crushing it in the classroom—247 earned America East Academic Honor Roll recognition with a 3.0+ GPA, and 165 hit the even tougher 3.5+ Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Forty-nine even pulled off a perfect 4.0 in at least one semester. NJIT ranked second in the conference for 3.0+ GPA achievement (87%) and had women’s basketball and baseball with 100% of athletes making the honor roll. This isn’t a fluke—it’s the 21st straight year America East student-athletes average at least a 3.0 GPA, proving academics and athletics can—and do—go hand in hand.

NJIT’s men’s basketball team is shining off the court too, earning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for maintaining a 3.0 GPA or higher last year — proof they’re serious about both books and basketball. Two standout players, grad student Melvyn Ebonkoli and junior Cameron Piggee, also made the NABC Honors Court for posting GPAs above 3.2. Ebonkoli, a French-born force, led the team in blocks while averaging 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 21 games. Piggee, despite limited minutes, flashed potential with an 8-point game. This academic success highlights a growing culture of discipline and dedication at NJIT — where excellence is measured on the court and in the classroom.
