We discuss recent specific heat data in high magnetic fields on URu2Si2 and 4% Rh-doped URu2Si2 as well as previously published de Haas-van Alphen data at lower magnetic fields in pure URu2Si2; both of which are consistent with quasiparticle bands formed from a hybridization between 5f-electron Gamma5 doublets and regular conduction electrons. The system exhibits itinerant electron metamagnetism that gives rise to a putative quantum critical point at \~ 34 -37 T (depending on the % of Rh) that is subsequently unstable to field-induced phases
