Recruiting War Stories

Those who follow the recruiting game know that Al Harrington was so close to committing to GT under Bobby Cremins. This AJC article has an interview with him as he was traded to the Hawks to return to the ATL:

Harrington said his decision to go pro out of St. Patrick's High in Elizabeth, N.J., helped him avoid choosing between then-Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins and then-Seton Hall coach Tommy Amaker.
"I was really torn," Harrington said. "I had such a great relationship with both coaches. It would've been too much to break one of those guys' hearts — so I broke both of them."
