The Official Tobias Harris Thread

[hatvol96]

Yep, so let's look forward a bit. If Hopson doesn't go anywhere after this year, Tatum and Hall play to their abilities, and Goins is serviceable, where does this put UT next year?

Hard to say without knowing who is going to be on other rosters. It would be hard to imagine there would be more than 10 or so teams better.

Still landing Pinkston would be the icing. This Kentucky rivalry is about to get serious.

Are we talking a Kevin Durant impact?

Let's not get crazy.

When was the last time UT got an elite prospect from outside the southeast who didn't come with loads of baggage?

Just trying to gauge where you were coming from with that statement...:good!:

Congrats to Tobias and to the UT coaches, players and basketball fans!

Right before his announcement, I said to myself, "if we don't get this kid, UT basketball might fall right back off the map".

Cheers to at least two more years of competitive UT basketball!

This is a MAJOR coup for the staff, getting this guy from the heart of Big East Country. Congrats to the entire staff and Welcome Tobias !

I think letting Pinkston's ultimate decision shape perception of this class would be a mistake. Standing alone, signing Harris makes this a successful class.

Ok, I got carried away in the excitement, but what kind of impact can we expect?

While we're busy pulling shockers, let's go ahead and whip out Selby as well.

I think people are getting a little carried away with their assessment of his perimeter game. He'll do most of his damage 15 feet in. 12 and 7 sounds about right to me.

I think he could score 15 and pull 10 boards a game....

I mentioned it earlier but any chance of getting back in it with Selby? TBA should be packed for the game against Kansas. With a strong showing and the addition of Harris could Selby end up a Vol?

It's possible but not likely. Steve Forbes is really close to the Selby family.

ESPN now has the Vols the #8 recruiting class with the addition of Harris.

I also want to personally thank the person or persons who painted the rock during Tobias's visit. That was simply awesome ... THANK YOU !

I heard the UT Athletic Dept had something to do with that.

Whoever had a hand in that did an incredible job IMO. Hats of to all involved.

+1 :good!:

Syracuse fans are sore losers and jealous. I love it!

Since that would be a blatant NCAA violation, I doubt it.

That's what somwone in the "rock" thread said. Wasn't posting it as fact. Just saying I heard.

 

[Shaun1985]

Hasn't the rock been painted for highschool football kids for years? I doubt the NCAA does anything and I'm pretty sure the AD didn't have a hand in that haha.

No they didn't.

 

[Volman93]

I know i am gonna get blasted for this but I really hope Selby gives UT another chance. I know he most likely will go elsewhere but I think he would be awesome under Pearl and paired with harris. Thats just me though. I am thrilled tobias chose the right color orange though

 

[BigPapaVol]

Freaking fantastic. Kid's a monster. Worth running a halfcourt O through.

Can't wait.

Give the staff its due.
