Nope officially he hasn't. Don't despair he could go to the Cuse. It could happen. I mean why would the 2 best players in NYC ever leave the Big Least, especially to go to a no count SEC team. Don't fear it's just a bad dream little Cuse fan.

Torrel Harris, Tobias’ dad, said it would be Tobias’ decision, but that the two players could potentially coexist on the same team.

“They’re two different players,” Torrel said. “JayVaughn is a power forward and Tobias, he can do it all. I think if he [Pinkston] did go there [Tennessee], they’ll both play a lot.”

Anyone else think that he says if Pinkston goes there as if if Tobias is already going to be there? He did not say if they both choose TN.

Hey guys, Cuse fan here. I obviously want T Harris, but I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

I did a little twitter research. A guy twittered to Tobias: "snuck into Tennessee tonight? Travel safely"

And he twittered back to him: "lol gotta stack up as much as I can !!"

What do you guys think this means?

I think Tobias is just referring to getting as many people following him on twitter as he can before he commits.

from Bluegrass State Basketball

Tobias wrapped up his Georgia Tech visit early today and then made his way to Knoxville, Tennessee. He watched Tennessee dismantle UNC-Asheville by a score of 124-49.

"I just felt like watching them play and it was only two hours from Georgia Tech," the big man explained.

Harris, who has not returned home yet, says he still plans to sit down with his family and make his college decision. He shot down rumors that he had already committed to the Volunteers or that he was ready to commit.

"I was in Knoxville, but I am not committed to Tennessee. I still have to talk everything with my family."

I told him that rumors were circulating that he had chosen Tennessee and he simply stated, "No, that is not true."

He still plans to make his announcement Thursday at 5:30 p.m. on ESPNU.

"No favorite yet," he said. "I'm still taking a final look at all the schools."

I asked him to tell me what stands out to him about each school on his final list:

- Syracuse: "The style of play and their facilities"

- Kentucky: "The fans and the atmosphere"

- Tennessee: "The passion of the coaches"

- Louisville: "The individual instruction and their work ethic"

- West Virginia: "Coach Huggins getting the best out of his guys"

- Maryland: "The campus and school itself"

- Georgia Tech: "The city of Atlanta and the school's academics"


I know he would never admit to committing before his ceremony, but still very scared now. :unsure: I was so happy and pumped an hour ago and now I a lot more nervous. Most people on Syracuse board are saying hes coming to UT, but one said he has told every one he has eliminated in person.

Doubt thats why he came here, but still.

Also the Tennessee home crowd did nothing to impress him. Im a student (from the north) and this is what I hate about UT. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BBALL! Had to BEG people to go to a free game (as a student) and all but one said no. The old farts that are given center court seats were no where to be found. I know hes probably not too worried about it because he is looking for best route to pros, but if I were him I would not want to go play in an empty gym (all he has seen of Thompson Boling) and would be very intrigued by a sold out practice in Kentucky for Midnight Madness. Don't get me wrong I hate Kentucky, but being unbiased from New York is different.

Very nervous.....(hopefully im just being paranoid)

Haha that is good stuff. They were talking on their boards about how funny it will be to read are comments about Pinkston being the better get once we missed out on Tobias. An hour later they had a thread title "Am I the only one not that upset about missing out on Tobias" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH!

Haha that's great! I love their fans one hour they think Tobias is a savior of their program and next hour their saying they don't need him or didn't want him. Ha its good stuff. But we really need Tobias I'm starting to think it shapes up that way.

True! I for one will be just as upset as when Selby de committed if Tobias goes anywhere than here and I won't be afraid to admit it.

Tobias would be changing his plan if he signed today. He will sign late tomorrow at the end of the period and announce Friday. That is what his plan has been for quite some time.

He's announcing tomorrow on ESPNU at 5:30p.m. So no. He will not be announcing on Friday.

Pretty sure the plan has been to sign today and announce Thursday. I think the signing period ends today. I could be wrong on that though.

Ha. I was totally wrong. Yep. I do admit it when it happens, and it certainly happened here.

I also thought Pinkston was over, and it looks like that was wrong also. I do not think that TN is going to be sad about this recruiting class when it is done or this season which should be historic.
