Rob Lewis on VolQuest seems to think UT holds a slight edge in the Harris sweepstakes, and that we have a solid lead with Pinkston. This conclusion was drawn from talking to people from both "camps".

I can say with complete confidence that Villanova is concerned about Pinkston's chances of qualifying and might end up being less of a threat to Tennessee than Seton Hall or St. John's. If UT doesn't lock him up in the early signing period, they've got problems. That'll give the locals an entire season to work on Jayvaughn.

So someone who knows tell me, just how big would it be if we brought in Pinkston and Harris? Are these guys potential one and done guys, or are they similar to Chism or Kenny Hall in terms of immediate impact?

Somewhere in between the two scenarios you posit. Neither of them are leaving after one season, but they'd both be better than Wayne was as a frosh.

Yeah Harris would have a bigger impact out of the two but getting both would be absolutley houge but don't hold your breath.

And, it's a selective truth. Tyler is a classic early developer. I always notice how a certain someone never gives credit for making Lofton an AA or a walk on guard an All-SEC player. Alexander isn't exactly proving his worth as a lottery pick, either.

That's just how it is. Pearl can sell playing time, facilities, etc. If he tries to compare his track record for getting guys paid to that of his competition for Harris, he's lost his mind.

Every article I've read says he intends to sign late not early. However if we can land Harris I think Pinkston could sign much earlier than planned.

New article on CatsPause:

"I'm still on track to sign in the fall," Harris said late Monday night. "I plan on announcing it on the 19th. I want to have it done so I can just focus on my season."

The early signing period opens on Wednesday and runs until Nov. 18. Harris, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward who is rated the No. 5 prospect in the Class of 2010, will sign the day before he makes the public announcement. He says he hasn't made his decision yet, only the day he'll announce his choice.

Asked where the Wildcats stood with little more than a week to go before he chooses a school, Harris said "Oh, they're definitely a factor. I really liked my visit a lot, and they have a style of play that really fits me. I liked the players on the team and the school."

Yeah, he made a minor mistake there.

You forget, no mistake is too small when hat has someone in the crosshairs of whatever agenda he is pursuing. This is the umpteenth comment degrading Hubbs' site, yet, I've found them more informative and accurate than his precious zagsblog on the subject of Harris.

BTW, I took a quick look at Hubbs' statements and he notes once that Harris will announce "on the 18th or 19th" and then another one notes that Harris will sign on the last day of the signing period and announce the next day with the dates being the 17th and 18th. So, he basically misread the calendar by a day. Horrible, I know.

And yet you were unsure of these facts merely a week ago?

I assumed if Hubbs was going to contradict what the rest of the free world had reported, he had to have some information. Then, I remembered it was Brent Hubbs.

I don't know Hubbs well enough to bad-mouth the guy. VolQuest is usually a pretty good source of information.

Seriously, Hubbs' site has had weeks of juicy info on the Harris recruitment and what is the commentary by the resident "professional"? What was the amazing insight by the self-described guru? "Uh, he was off by one day on the announcement date." Thanks, Yoda.
