Coach Hewitt speaks about the camps

As usual, his classiness comes through. Story here. When talking about the difficulty of scouting all the camps and making your presence:

"The talent is definitely stretched a little thinner,'' Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. "In terms of the concentration of top 100, top 200 players -- it is spread out a little more. You think about going all the way back to Princeton, N.J., where you had the best 200 players in the country. Then, you went to two camps and now we're at three camps. I guess it's not all bad, because now you give more kids an opportunity to be seen. And we tend to lose sight that the game is supposed to be about opportunities for kids to get an education or be seen and do something better with their lives, as opposed to making it sane for college coaches.''
