Alvarado visiting tomorrow per Zags
- Thread starter RU23
- Start date
Time to get the closers up and ready in the bullpen......!!
Since he'll be on campus, can this guy lock it down??
We need this kid....this would be a huge get
Baker and Alvarado would be a pretty impressive backcourt tandem going forward....
visiting is a positive--hopefully he wants to play closer to home and can't do much better than in the B1G...
re Baker, is it fair that he seems to be a in similar mold basketball game wise to Eli Carter?

Having Jose come for a visit is huge. Our staff is working so hard and even more than that.
Hope the AC is working at the RAC. Mine has been running non-stop all day and can't get my house below 81 degrees.
To be honest, Baker is more versatile but I would not expect him to be like Eli Carter.
Carter had the offense catered to him. Everything went to him, and he was not much of a passer.
Baker can shoot on and off the dribble, can pass pretty well. He is about 6 3. It is hard to compare the two since they will have completely different games and coaches.
Just expect to have someone who will improve here in four years, and gives good effort.
I am very satisfied with Baker commitment seeing where we are as a program. He will help us win.
Baker at 6'3' to 6'4 appears to have the arm length necessary to be an excellent defender. Alvarado appears savvy enough to be a plus-defender.
This staff will coach defense, that aspect is now the least of my concerns.....RU will get stops on D....we need someone like Laurent and Johnson along with Williams to continue to set the tone in workouts with Sanders, so everyone understands scoring is nice but stops are just as good.
I have not followed Alvarado's recruitment closely.
To my knowledge Alvarado has not cut his list yet so, if I'm Rutgers, I'd be recruiting him as if everyone is a threat. He has also said that he plans to take all five official visits.
Alvarado seems to be infatuated with Indiana, and they've been on him for a while, but he is likely a back up plan for them. Tremont Waters appears to be at the top of the Indiana point guard board.
Its so awesome we have one of the top Rivals analysts frequent our basketball free board now. Thanks for the input Russ.
To me he reminds me of a young HS Bobby Hurley. Smart, in charge, not overly athletic, has skills, but doesn't get out worked or out smarted. Blue collar, maybe a little more flare than Bobby. He is a winner.
I have seen him play several times. The first time I saw him I thought of Hurley, he is a true quarterback. When I say not overly athletic, that is not a knock. He is not like a Corey or Kwe Parker explosive athlete. He is more a steady athlete. I would take him on my team 10 out of 10 times. Desire to defend, rarely out of position on both ends of the court, and has the will to win.
