Hewitt recruiting a slew of point guards after Javaris era
Looks like Paul Hewitt is getting busy recruiting another point guard to make up for the projected quick exit of point guard Javaris Crittenton. Most of America's top point guards have Georgia Tech on the radar. The PG's Hewitt is recruiting consist of Maurice Miller of Memphis, Tyrel Reed of Kansas, Jamelle McMillan of Seattle, Chris Wright of Washington D.C. and Demetri McCamey of Chicago. Maurice Miller seems like the logical choice to head to the flats after we get a year of Javaris. Mo has been on campus to visit the Jackets twice, and the coaching staff has been to several of his games. Memphis, Tennessee, and Vandy are the ones to beat for his services according to Rivals.com. In my opinion look for Maurice Miller to sign with Georgia Tech rather quickly. If Maurice doesnt sign with us, i would think that Chris Wright, who has shown alot of interest in the Jackets will be our point guard of the future. Either way, the Jackets are in a win-win situation with several of the nation's top Point guards for 2007. Future looks good.

Thanks for getting this site up. I will be a frequent visitor. I have a question about how you came up with Miller and Wright (especially Wright) as the two most likely of the PGs we are recruiting. I thought I had read the opposite in other places. I thought Miller was not likely to sign fast and that Wright was more likely to go somewhere other than GT. I do not have any inside info... just what I read. I had thought that McMillan and Reed were more likely than Wright and maybe even more likely than Miller. Has new info come out, or is this just your gut feel? Just curious. Thanks.
Thanks anonymous. From the sources i have been hearing from, that is the information i am getting. While all of the above mentioned players are high on GT's radar, i am hearing that Wright, and Mo Miller are pretty solid to date. Mo Miller could be lost to Memphis, but both he and Wright are both solidly looking at GT.
Some thoughts
Here is how i would describe the recruiting of the PG's.
Miller - IMO the most likely signee. Alot of mutual interest. Had a so so spring AAU which has kept some suitors at bay. Memphis is going hard after Derrick Rose so they haven't put much effort into Miller yet. Right now i would consider him a solid GT lean.
Wright - continues to list G'town as his favorite, though GT is one of about 7 schools he mentions consistently. Not likely to make a decision anytime soon. Was at the Team USA under 18 trials that Hewitt is an asst for so they likely got some face to face time. DePaul coach Wainwright is the other asst and he is also recruiting Wright.
Reed - interesting dynamic here. GT is sitting a strong #3 behind UNC and Kansas. If one of those two offer i expect them to be chosen ahead of GT, but both are scholarship strapped and haven't offered yet. If for some reason neither offers then GT is Reed's most likely destination.
McMillan - His recruiting is very interesting. GT has made big strides in the last 2 months, helped not the least by the fact that Jack plays for Jamelle's dad Nate. Of course Nate is also close friends with new NC ST coach Lowe. Appears to be a 3 team race - NC ST, GT, AZ ST (Sendek) with an ACC school most likely.
McCamey - GT staff likes him but GT appears to be on the outside looking in.
Any of the first 4 could end up in ATL imo, it just depends upon how the dominoes fall.
