RU23 - I know the Alvarado situation personally. You are of course free to believe what you have read elsewhere rather than me. All I can tell you is that none of the schools mentioned have any legitimate interest in Alvarado. Merely reaching out and staying in touch is what all good recruiters do. It is simply done with many kids in the unlikely event things go wrong with more legitimate options.
As I mentioned earlier, that is not a negative reflection on Alvarado. Moreover, it is a positive factor for RU as we are the only local option seriously pursuing him.
