RU Bball to land Jose Alvardo today, Beat out Satan Hall?
- Thread starter BlockR
- Start date
He has enjoyed a stellar career at Christ the King, following in the school’s long list of elite point guards. Alvarado won a city title as a sophomore for the Royals and had a big summer with the New York Rens on the AAU circuit. He doesn’t have that wow factor, but he wins, makes others around him better and has leadership qualities, said one college coach who had recruited Alvarado before the recent cut down.
“What he lacks in speed or shooting [ability], he makes up with by being savvy and making high IQ plays,” the coach said. “By any means, he finds way to win.”

That is a very weird line, he is actually a very good player top 150 in the nation. This will be a huge pick up for our MBB program!
Think of him as the classic, traditional point guard. He's very good, and just what you need. I'd love to have him at Seton Hall, but we went all in on another very good PG, thought we had him, and then lost him to Pitino Jr.
Too tough to get back in strong with Alvarado at that point.
His profile sounds like J. Kidd.
Having watched RU basketball the last couple years, yes they could use shooting, but man they need savvy and IQ above all else.
The team has been beyond ugly and it's not due to lack of athleticism. If this kid comes aboard, then you surround him with the athletes and shooters.
J. Kidd was around 6'4" and was the one of the top recruits in the country, if not the top guy.
Ok, Alvardo is 6'4" as well. Obviously I'm not saying this kid is a future HOF'r like J Kidd was.
But Kidd was not a shooter, and he was not the quickest PG out there(though he did play at a very high tempo). What he was, was a big PG who was above all, Savvy.
Not what Crystal ball is saying now...they have him more leaning to GT. But I hope u r right and they are wrong.
That fact that your avatar is a bee is even a bigger jinx...( GT mascot is a bee)
We shall see...

That is where we have always had a hard time finding, signing and keeping and developing players. Wake me up when we get a good one.

What hurts here is that Pikiell was so personally involved and yet the player opted to go 1000 miles away to a program that hasn't done much in a long time.
By posting on the football board instead of the basketball board you jinxed it - thanks
Georgia Tech probably pointed out to him that they've gone to the NCAA Tournament eight times since we last went. Talk about not having done much in a long time.
build the practuice facility and do the RAC renovation and it just might help recruiting..[eyeroll]

The Yellowjacket$$$ game him some honey (weird and I guess related to the singer in the news but I have had that commerical "Must be the honey" in my mind all afternoon before this snub).
As a Carolina grad GA Tech is a blip even in the ACC map. Too bad for him-Pikiell siunds like a great guy and coach.

More accurate to say that RU was outbid. That's the way it is nowadays.
And that Home Depot Founder and Rutgers alum Bernie Marcus donates a lot of $$$ to Georgia Tech:

For all intents and purposes Mr. Marcus did not intend Rutgers; just ask him.
