The recruiting decision to watch for today is Chris Wright.

Chris Wright, a senior from St. John’s in Washington, D.C., will hold a news conference to announce his college choice. His finalists are Pitt, Georgetown and North Carolina State. The 6-foot, 190-pounder, regarded as one of the top five point guards in the country, has not spoken to the media in the past two months about his recruitment, but Georgetown is considered the front-runner.

Wright made an early commitment to N.C. State in January, but reopened his recruiting when coach Herb Sendek left for Arizona State. Wright took an official visit to Pitt on Sept. 8.

Pitt’s first-year director of basketball operations, David Cox, came to the Panthers from St. John’s, where he worked as an assistant principal.

Chris Wright would be Pitt’s fifth verbal. I think that would finish the class, though, I imagine they might find a way to make room for a player like Michael Beasley if he were to decide to come to Pitt.
