Recruiting - Hoops

Highly touted combo guard Wes Matthews Jr. will make his college decision public next week on July 18. He will announce his decision between GT, Wisc and Marquette on a local Madison WI sports show. Probably shouldn't read too much into that since that is his hometown. His parents both went to Wisc and played hoops. His mom lives in WI and his father lives in ATL. They were never married.

Also seems that Louis Williams and Mike Mercer are not rock solid on their verbal committment to UGAg. Link here.

A pair of package deals are complicating things among elite schools in the class of 2005. And in the case of the Louis Williams-Michael Mercer package, they're really complicating things.

Williams and Mercer, backcourt teammates from South Gwinnett High in Snellville, Ga., have committed to Georgia coach Dennis Felton. However, Williams said Friday from the Nike All-American Camp that their commitment to the Bulldogs isn't exactly rock solid.

"We're still going to take all five of our official visits," said Williams, a 6-foot-1 shooting guard. "We're committed to Georgia, but it can change. We're real quiet about our situation, but the schools (involved) know."

Williams wouldn't identify the other schools involved, but said Felton is aware.

Well, GT was involved with these guys prior to their verbal to UGAg, so stay tuned.

Lastly, here is a blurb on Ryan Wright, considering GT among about 10 other schools.
