3-star TE Matt Alaimo 'meant no disrespect' committing to Pitt while at Rutgers passing camp

When St. Joseph (Mont.) three-star tight end Matt Alaimo committed to Pitt Saturday, it left a foul taste in the mouths of Rutgers fans, who felt disrespected by Alaimo's pledge -- not necessarily because of the school he chose, but the manner in which he chose it.

Alaimo was on campus at Rutgers for the 2017 7-on-7 passing camp, when news of his pledge was released, prompting Rutgers fans to lash out over social media.
