While Rutgers continues to search for players to fill out next season's roster, it's clear that they will have at least one open scholarship for the 2017 recruiting cycle. With recent commits Candido Sa and Issa Thiam joining the program this summer, Rutgers actually has solid depth in the frontcourt for the next two seasons. A major priority for the staff is landing a point guard for the future. They appear to have a #1 target within the class of 2017.

Alvarado was actually offered last summer by Eddie Jordan's staff, but new head coach Steve Pikiell appears to be making him a top priority.
