There is no sugar coating the setback that Rutgers experienced today with the announcement that their top target for the class of 2017, Jose Alvarado, has committed to Georgia Tech over the Scarlet Knights.
Christ the King (NY) 2017 guard Jose Alvarado has committed to Georgia Tech over Rutgers and Seton Hall.

It’s very disappointing on several levels. First, head coach Steve Pikiell has made Alvarado his #1 priority since taking over at Rutgers, even personally taking the lead on his recruitment, a rarity in Division I college basketball.
