Yeah they have, but you know as much as I do that it doesn’t mean the same will happen for Harris. Especially with coach not playing a lot of zone in his career.

Like I said how much zone have those 3 teams I mentioned played? And what do you mean same won’t happen? I’m not asking for him to be Trae Young, he doesn’t have to be...just needs to be a good PG, and there’s been tons of good PG’s in his height range.

Harris is a really good player. Better still, he's in all likelihood a 4 year guy. Do we have a shot at him, though? Memphis and Baylor seem to be the front runners from what I've seen.

I’d love to have him though. Really wish we could get him and Akinjo.

I'm guessing if UT gets Akinjo to visit they get him and I will be very happy with that. Instantly, Akinjo becomes Barnes highest rated commit or a close 2nd behind Pons. Plus, I think Walker, Kent, JJ, Pons and Bone improve, noticeably next year. In the immortal words of Timbuk 3, the Vols future is so bright they gotta wear shades

Meaning it doesn’t mean it will be effective. Could still hurt him.

I think it’s all a moot point though, I do believe Harris could defend at the sec level. He reminds me a lot of bone, his speed would be his biggest asset.

I just don’t want is going zone. Bone, harris, and Akinjo would give the depth to not worry about picking up fouls because they are undersized.

I wouldn’t really call Akinjo undersized my self really. 6 foot is a decent height for a point guard/ shooting guard.

Harris isn't a perfect fit. Is Barnes willing to play a lot of zone to compensate for his lack of height?

We didn't go to zone when Daniel came in. We actually picked up our D intensity. I know Daniel is listed at 6'0' but that is very generous. Harris would be able to guard almost all the PGs that we play against except Shea (who not many can guard). Now if Harris is really closer to 5'7" that might change.

Well, UK hasn't hardly been mentioned in connection with it. Quickley is signed and fully plans on attending UK. Unless something else comes out soon, I'd expect him there along with the other two freshmen.
