GTMBB Recruiting, 2017.
- Thread starter Buzzforlife
- Start date
Nov. 10th decision.
Georgia Tech: “Since they are approximately 10 minutes from my house, Georgia Tech is a hometown school for me,” said Sexton. “I have a great relationship with their players and I will have the support from my family in every home game that I play. They also have had an outstanding history of guards through the years.”

Did he? Hope you're not going by my old post, it was based on another opinion. I think the article we posted more recently, has us as his "home team, for consideration".
If you have an update, fill us in, please?

GEORGIA TECH BRINGS IN THE BEST
The best prospect available out of the 2017 ranks, Wendell Carter, a 6-foot-10 center out of the Peach State, won’t have to travel too far from his humble abode this weekend. Georgia Tech, doing their very best during the early stages of the Josh Pastner era in keeping the top recruits close to home, will play host to the Pace Academy star.
Somehow finding a way to get the big man into a Yellow Jackets uniform next year might be one of the biggest steals and coups within the past five years. Hence, the chance for the ACC gang to secure the talents of Carter is very bleak. Although, Carter has spoken on playing close to home and how he could lure other top tier recruits to come and play with him for the brand new staff in Atlanta.
The next 48-hours could be huge for the Yellow Jackets or it could just be delaying the inevitable which is Carter saying no to the two in-state programs and one day soon calling it a day with his recruitment and very likely, committing to Duke. Harvard remains heavy in pursuit, just as well, but getting the big fella onto its campus this weekend definitely doesn’t hurt the publicity that Pastern’s program will receive in the days ahead.

Carter to decide in the next week to 10 days. My guess is Duke, although we put up a fight...

Georgia Tech’s season starts Friday with the opener against Tennessee Tech. For coach Josh Pastner, Wednesday begins a different type of season that is equally critical.
The early signing period for basketball prospects begins Wednesday and runs through Nov. 16. Tech is among the final choices for many of the top recruits in the state, though Pastner and his staff have a tough field of competition.
“We’ve had great official visits, we’ve covered a lot of ground,” Pastner said. “We just need one or two to pull the trigger.”
Pace Academy forward Wendell Carter (ranked No. 3 in the country ESPN), Pebblebrook High guard Collin Sexton (No. 10), Norcross High forward Rayshaun Hammonds (No. 38) and Greenforest Christian Academy center Ikechukwu Obiagu (No. 42) are all expected to sign during the early period. Tech was included on each players’ lists of finalists.
Signing any one of the four would be a coup for Pastner and a considerable statement on the work done by him and his staff. Having been hired in April to replace Brian Gregory, Pastner and his staff have had to catch up in developing relationships with prospects and their inner circles that rival coaches have been establishing for a year or more.
“We’ve worked as hard as any staff in the history of mankind has worked on this recruiting, but we might come away with not signing too many guys,” Pastner said. “So it’s not for a lack of work ethic. Things happen. That’s why you’ve got to get a little lucky in recruiting.”
Carter’s finalists are Duke, Harvard, Georgia and Tech. Sexton’s are Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, N.C. State, Oklahoma State and Tech. Hammonds’ final four are Georgia, Tech, Memphis and Texas. Obiagu had a top six of Baylor, Florida State, Long Beach State, Maryland, N.C. State and Tech.
Hammonds and Sexton have scheduled to make their announcements Thursday, Hammonds at Norcross and Sexton at ESPNU’s studio in Charlotte, N.C. Carter and Obiagu’s plans are less clear.
Tech has already secured a commitment from point guard Jose Alvarado from Brooklyn. Pastner will have six scholarships that he can use for the 2017 class, though he may not use all of them, instead reserving some for transfers or future signing classes.
If Tech does not sign any of the four, coaches have a lower tier of prospects that they have also been recruiting that they will attempt to sign in the regular signing period in April.

Will post decision on AJC, Nov. 23(one week after signing period concluded, which is today, on where the letter went to, if at all).....
Miller Grove has had a long list of guards come through its program, this year its Tae Hardy’s turn. Hardy has a combination of good size and athletic ability. He has the ability to break down defenders in transiton, from the top of the key or from the wing to get into the lane. Once in the lane he does a good job of finishing in traffic or finishing through contact. Hardy finished with a game high 32 points Saturday night against McEachern.

This will be the fourth season we will have attended a Pace game, and I don't remember him ever being 162 lbs.(typo., guessing 262?). I'm thinking Duke over Harvard....
