Allisha LeiwsAfter putting the finishing touches on the No. 7 recruiting class for 2018, Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph and her staff added a playmaking point guard in the 2019 class. Sunday evening the Yellow Jackets got their girl when Alisha Lewis of Wallingford, Delaware, made a verbal pledge to play her college basketball at the ACC school. Lewis, who had Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, and others involved in her recruiting, gives Georgia Tech their first commitment in the 2019 class. (see all 2019 commits)
For Tech, Lewis gives it a winner in the backcourt. The 5-foot-6 prospect is a natural point guard who can run a team and create offense for her teammates. She shoots the ball at a high percentage from the perimeter and has shown the ability to rise to the occasion and make big plays when it matters the most.
Moving forward, look for the Yellow Jackets to look for at least two more players in the 2019 class.
