Puerto Rican basketball players Allen Baez and Wilfredo Rodriguez visited Rutgers on Tuesday but left without scholarship offers.
Baez remains in the mix at Rutgers, but Rodriguez does not.
“Coach [Eddie] Jordan and [associate head coach David] Cox are seriously considering Baez,” Todd Washington of the Puerto Rico Playmakers told SNY.tv. “Carlos [Morales] and the coaching staff agreed that Wilfredo is not the right fit. They have been up front about their view of both players.
“Baez can come in and be a 10-15 minutes backup to Myles Mack right now.”
The 6-foot-3, 178-pound Baez will visit UNC-Greensboro today and Oregon State next week.
“I consider myself a leader on the floor,” Baez told SNY.tv recently. “I’m a pure point guard who can knock down shots and get to the basket to create for others. I’m a lock-down-defender and just tough competitor who will help a team win games.”
It’s unclear what’s next for the 6-6 Rodriguez, one of only three players in the history of the Florida Metro Conference to score 2,000 career points.
