Being a point guard from New York and attending Georgia Tech presents a lot of expectations. After all, the two greatest point guards in program history in Kenny Anderson and Stephon Marbury were both from the Empire State. In 2017, Jose Alvarado will look to start his journey in becoming the next great Tech point guard that hailed from NYC.
In high school, Alvarado was ranked as a three-star prospect and one of the top 200 players in the country. Before committing to Tech in September of last year, Alvarado collected a total of 13 scholarship offers, including several notable northeast powers.
