Rutgers has been recruiting Aundre Hyatt for some time.

Steve Pikiell and the Scarlet Knights now know when they'll learn if the pursuit was fruitful.

The four-star wing officially announced he plans to re-classify as a 2018 recruit and enroll in college this fall on Tuesday. He also set a date to announce his decision - August 10 - and named Rutgers as one of three finalists along with LSU and Seton Hall.

I’d like to thank all the schools that have recruited me these past couple years. I’ve decided to forgo my senior year and attend college this fall. I will be focusing on these three schools and will make my decision on August 10th. pic.twitter.com/Pk7hU9egbu — Aundre (@aundrehyatt_15) July 24, 2018

Hyatt took an official visit at Rutgers in late June after graduating from Virginia's Miller School earlier this year, when there was still some question about whether he'd take a prep year and be a 2019 recruit. Hyatt has also visited Seton Hall and is reportedly set to visit LSU.

Hyatt, who began his high school career at Archbishop Stepinac in White Plains, was among Rivals' top 100 players in its 2019 rankings and comes with a slew of offers from prominent programs.

If Hyatt chooses Rutgers, it will be the second straight year Pikiell has picked up a late summer commitment after a recruit re-classified. Rutgers landed Mamadou Doucore's commitment in that fashion in 2017.

Rutgers is entering its third year under Pikiell. The Scarlet Knights went 15-19 this past season, finishing the season on a high note with a surprise run to the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal round at Madison Square Garden.

"I'm very confident in the build that we have," Pikiell said earlier this year. "I know everyone wants 20, 25 wins -- that's (not) how it works. I'd like that, too. But you got to go through these tough times and we've gone through them but we've been in every game pretty much, and these guys keep fighting. And we're growing the program."
