The Official Tobias Harris Thread

So are we one thumb up happy? Or two thumbs up happy? Or two middle fingers Bud Adams style saying V,B happy?
 
He helps out with the practices, set's the stuff up. Helps rebound, & does alot of other things around the gym. He is usually at every game but our old high school played right outside of Knox tonight so he went to that.

Gotcha. From the looks of the score, maybe he should have gone. He may have had a chance to suit up. Haha

hahaha yea we were keeping up with the game on our phones. He played basketball in high school. He use to be the ball boy at the games when he was younger but now he is the manager.
 
I'm sure he liked what he saw tonight. Pearl is a "players" coach. He is not gonna jerk someone out for a bad play, he lets the players play and these young kids have to love it. Coach Pearl, this Buds for you! Doin what they said couln't be done, just like the bandit baby. O hell yeah
 
I don't really think he'd come to Knoxville just to tell the staff he wasn't coming. I don't see him going to Lexington, College Park or anywhere else to tell them so why make an exception for Tennessee (unless he had to stop in Knoxville anyways) but I just don't see that. Either way, I won't feel good until the papers are signed.

The kid has been tight lipped about the whole thing, why put your self in the spot light like that? Maybe he wanted to tell pearl in person he wasnt coming, the family has money so thats not an issue. Something doesnt smell right on this one.
 
His mother said they may come up for the Kansas game for an official. With the possible addition of Harris, plus an official for the kansas game, I think he would seriously consider Tenn again.
Question is would the feeling be mutual after the way he hung the staff out to dry? I'm not so sure he would be welcomed at this point.
 
not saying that I wouldn't want selby, but he seems to have some attitude problems. the way he decommitetd I just don't know how good id feel about seeing him in orange.

Don't forget Golden and then 2011 there's Kevin Ware who may be as high as Selby by the time he is a senior. Selby needs to go somewhere else. I would hope Pearl isn't crazy enough to cough up a scholly for Josh if he changes his mind again. It would be a crappy thing to do to Golden and Ware.

Maybe but if he went to a Cuse game (or any other team), I'd probably be a bit worried of my chances. You have to admit it looks good for UT right now.

That is just the smell of fear and desperation in your post.

especially since Ware can't sign anything and us having the jump on him this early. Looks real good for our crappy adidas b-ball program that people love to hate on. :)
 
Why would he drive up there, stay for the game, and talk to the coaches afterward just to tell them he's not coming? That makes no sense at all.
 
While this is probably a good sign with as affable as his father seems toward the staff it wouldn't surprise me if he came to the game to tell the staff in person why he is choosing someone else, and to thank them for their efforts. Not trying to be a downer, but I don't want to count our chickens before they hatch.
EXCELLENT POINT. I was thinking this could be the case as well considering what a class act this kid is. While this could certainly be a possibility, let's think positive and keep our fingers crossed that he wants to be the future face of UT BASKETBALL :)
 
Personally I'm not nearly as impressed with Selby's character as I am his ability on the court. I would take Tobias Harris and others like him over 10 Selby's.
