He's still got multiple visits to make. His father has indicated they'll set down and make decisions after they are done.

Tobias had a very good visit to Knoxville a couple weeks ago, but other than that, it would just be a guess to say where UT stands on his list.

He seems to be giving Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Syracuse, Maryland, West Virginia, and Tennessee equal opportunity to get his signature.

I wonder how serious contenders Georgia Tech and Maryland are.

What do you think?

I'll be slightly surprised if he doesn't sign with Syracuse. Further, if he's really set on playing point forward, nobody has used their 3s and 4s better out on the floor the last two seasons than West Virginia.

I actually think Pearl has done a nice job of using Tyler Smith and putting him in positions to be productive as well. WVU has as well. I'm sure Cal is selling him on taking on a Robert Dozier role in the dribble-drive. It seems out of what I've seen of UK, WVU, Syracuse, and UT that Tennessee has the ball in the hands of the 4 more than the rest. Hopefully, this will work in enticing Harris.

Very true. It should be an interesting recruiting battle...

I have read every free interview with the family.

Rick Pitino banging a slut in a restaraunt and then buying her abortion will not sit well with his family.

His parents talk about wanting him to be around good people.

Syracuse probably leads, but I think we may be in second. He has said nice things about every place he visits, but he knows in our system he can replace Tyler Smith and get tons of touches right off the bat, and that is not something Calipari can offer because even if 5 of his players head to the NBA after this year, his frontcourt class will be much stronger than ours.

If we can beat out Syracuse, I think we get Harris.

It also looks like we may be far behind Jay Wright who is a great recruiter in trying to pull Pinkston.

Give it up with Pitino. There are many people who make moral transgressions; for instance, Bruce Pearl. He admittedly cheated on his wife. People make mistakes; Pitino admitted his as did Pearl. Move on.

Affairs are disappointing.

Starting one drunk in a restaraunt bathroom and then paying for a secret abortion is more than disappointing.

If Pearl was blackmailed with a video from a swingers party or someone who used drugs with him that he paid for it would be on the level of Pitino's idiocy.

The only difference is, Bruce would end up fired. This is the difference between a win at all cost basketball program, (UL) and a football first school (UT). Which is even more sad, if you think about it.


As for Harris, I think in order its Syracuse, WV and UT. Honest to God, I think UK is a wildcard who could go to the front or back at any given moment.

syracuse and tennessee are tied i think with kentucky second, and maybe tennessee with a slight lead, thats my opinion

Yeah more than likely if he wants early pt and touches he will be here if he wants to be used at all times then he will go to syracuse and then wvu plays there fowards so well.... This could come down to who he and his parents like the most acedemic wise.

Robert Doziers role sucked trying to play that position . Not that it mattered . A weak link in a strong chain IMO !
