When's the last time a URI recruit did one of these big "Decision" events and selected us? It's almost counter to the kind of kid we've recruited under Hurley.

Didn't Tate do a thing like this and pick us just a month or two ago?

Only 83 users on board, so we are no where near max connections. I'll have to look into that.

My bad, totally forgot about Tate's decision.

These analysts are always stepping all over these kids' moment. It happens way, way too much. If a kid trusts a guy to give him the scoop early, they should respect the kid enough to let him make the announcement before they drop their story. It is a chickenshit move. (Although the news overall is good news.)

From Findelstein's article:

Why he committed: Harris visited West Virginia, Rhode Island and Xavier this fall. Kansas was also on his short list coming out of the summer but when both they and West Virginia ended up landing other commitments along their frontline, this became a two horse race.

"Over the years I’ve bonded with the coaches and the players at Rhode Island,” Harris told ESPN.com. “They have a couple of guys on the roster that I’ve known for a long time, I know I’m going to get a lot of playing time, and going to get a degree.”

Associate head coach David Cox, who has deep ties into the DMV region, served as the lead recruiter.

What he brings: Harris is a big body and physical presence inside the paint. He’s been working to develop his skill set and has made strides expanding his face-up game, but his bread and butter is still inside the paint where he is powerful, has a high motor, unique ability to play through contact, and willingness to make multiple effort plays. He’s leaned out his frame while still maintaining his physical strength to become a step quicker and more explosive within the last year so he’s changing ends and getting off his feet better than he ever has before. He’ll be a physical interior presence, rebounder, and finisher right away with a chance to further develop as a step-out threat down the road.

How the class is shaping up: Harris puts a punctuation mark on a Rhode Island recruiting class that is among Danny Hurley’s best since arriving in Kingston. Tyrese Martin and Amir Harris are two prospects, who like Harris, spurned offers from so-called higher level conferences in order to commit to Rhody. Martin is an athletic wing and shot-maker while Harris is a bid lead guard in the making and a player that was potentially flying under the national radar. Dana Tate is a powerful combo-forward with a downhill style who provides them with some local ties. All four players should be ready to contribute immediate minutes and eventually, if not immediately, be able to play multiple positions.

NRF and DC Rams get my vote for first movers on the "we can get this kid" train. Great scoop.

This is the type of kid and class that can, ya know, keep a coach from thinking the grass may be greener. Gonzaga of the East anyone? :)

Serious talk, with Adams is there a chance this is a Top 20 class? Uncharted territory for us Rhody fans, but man it feels greatttttt!!
