Recruiting - Mario Chalmers for 2005

This kid is considered by some to be the top point guard in his class. Right now, his dad is listing Kansas, Arizona and Wake Forest as his favorites, but GT is in the running also. (short story here). Coach Hewitt is planning on signing a major PG talent for next season's class, as we all expect J.Jack to make his junior year his final one.

Another guy who is likely to be considered the #1 kid out of the state of South Carolina next season is Casaan Breeden, who happens to be Ra'Sean Dickey's teammate. He has many offers already, including from USC, Clemson, UGAg, NCST and Tenn. Others interested (besides GT) include Wake Forest, Kentucky, UNC - the list will only grow bigger. He is about 6'8", but rail thin. He can handle the rock, shoot it, play inside / outside - really a perfect player for Coach Hewitt's system. Will need to gain a lot of weight but very athletic. In some ways he reminds me of J.Hodge.

Lastly, here is another mention of De'Angelo Alexander, who will be transferring from Oklahoma. It looks like Charlotte is the team to beat.
