Any relation to D Harris. 7 foot 3point shooting extraordinaire.

I was kinda enjoying the steel cage match between Rod and Blue Man.

It's amazing how good news results in pissing matches. God forbid if we make the Final Four.

Pissing matches are always germane to any topic on here...

3 posters would come on and say that it didn't count because the path was too easy, or we got lucky, or the team got hot in spite of the coach - and my hands would go bloody berating them.

(K I'm done )

Or GBG would come on and proclaim that we lost the final four game because Dan doesn't have a geriatric on the end of the bench to help him coach.

TP had better be careful.

His role as self-proclaimed Expert on All Things Keaney Blue is being usurped by Blue Man.

Just having some fun here.....

Let's keep this thread on Harris please

I think we need another tailgate prior to a game this year? I mean, what school tailgates for a basketball game?

Never

Come on Iggy. Just last year Umass got the tandem out of Louisiana. Happens often.

Higher levels happens every year from Oden and Conley to Tatum and Giles.

Jabari Parker and the Minnesota point guard, forget his name.

Close but it's was Okafor and Tyus Jones, not Parker and Jones

Sorry I didn't mean to say Top 10 this year but if DH keeps bringing in these top recruits then we can see a Top 10 ranking in the near future

Sorry if I missed this - Amir Harris is related to Jermaine Harris in some way?

I really don't hate the idea - maybe for a February Friday night ESPN game? I have a spot in the Ryan Center lot so that could actually work out great.

Just keep the grey goose away from me/BPR. Wifey drew a hard line at me taking my shirt off and trying to make a Valpo fan a corpse in 205 before 1130am.

Hope he hates it...

2018 DC Premier forward Jermaine Harris will start his official visit to West Virginia today

The mountaineers fans seem pretty confident that they will get Harris.

They're probably don't know about David Cox.

Ppl are very confident on this board and I blindly put my faith in that. Pretty excited about this class and especially Harris.

But Jim L in Coral Gables has been on a tear in recruiting and could win the ACC this year. IDK why he couldn't swoop in.

He took some studs out of the DMV area last year.

I'm sure Harris hasn't made up his mind yet. It's going to be a battle. But it's a battle we are still a part of.

Just say no to Huggy bear

Seems to have enjoyed his visit to WV. Posted a pic of himself and Huggins at dinner. Followed some WV players on twitter and a bunch of other WV people. Let's hope he keeps the visit here next weekend.

Thanks for the update Billy. Fingers crossed.

His comment on the picture with Huggins is "Dinner with the GOAT (pic) tonight." I guess he really looks up to the coach.

That certainly can't be good. These things tend to be fluid so we'll see.

The visit is still on; he should respect Huggins'. The guy is a living legend

Jermaine needs to be a RAM!!!!!!

Well I can't see him posting a pic then committing to another school. Too bad.

It happens literally all the time. I'm not saying he won't commit to WVU, but the pic has nothing to do with it. Guys post pictures of themselves with coaches, with players, in uniforms, on campus, etc., on every visit. The guys we tend to recruit aren't always the types whose recruitment is super high profile, and our staff seems to prefer to keep stuff quiet, but in big-time recruiting guys post pics and praise of coaches and programs only to commit elsewhere all the time. IA pic online isn't good or bad, it's nothing.

What? This doesn't make any sense. Happens all the time.

Alright alright I over reacted.

For the next 3 or 4 days, no news is good news regarding Jermaine. Here's hoping for a newsless week.......until the end of next weekend.

He has three more visits lined up after us, let's hope he doesn't see the point in taking them.

I know you've already retracted, but obidiah Toppin was supposedly wearing our shirt in a pickup game after committing to Dayton.

To Truepoint's post, remember when we were after Shakur earlier this year, he posted on his twitter a photo of him in a DePaul jersey, then a week or so later he announces he's going to UNLV, pictures aren't everything

Uh oh sounds worrysome we need this commitment to secure perhaps our best class ever

WVU has been considered the leader (except by Northern Ram).

Northern Ram has been pretty spot on with some of his info.....I'll trust that we still have a good shot at him.

Echoing rambone's post, northernram has been bretty solid with his intel. Also WVU has been considered the "leader" since late may/early june.

I think we are still very much in it for JH, and with the latest momentum and Amir, Tyrese, and Dana recruiting hard for Harris, i think we are still looking like a good shot. I think it will be down to WVU, Rhody, and Maryland

All I really want right now is this week to be quite till Friday when Mr Harris arrives!

forgot to include 247's crystal ball - http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/ ... redictions

These were made months ago when WVU offered

Iggy1979 wrote:WVU has been considered the leader (except by Northern Ram).

Honest question, but who has considered WVU the leader? Is it just recruiting sites that default to making P5 schools the leader?

You guys ever think that maybe he just wants to experience the process?

A high school recruit has 1 time in his life to go and check out a whole bunch of college campuses and programs, see all the cool behind the scenes stuff. I mean even if you know you want to go play for someone or somewhere, you wouldn't be souped to meet another coach and have dinner with them?

I trust the info on here, but also I trust Dan. Say info is wrong on Harris leaning towards us. Obviously I want him but do you think Dan will take a trash player just to fill a spot? We're way past that as a program.

Harris would be fantastic but let's not act like the program stops moving forward if he doesn't commit.

Of course Blue Man......but a player like Harris is what we need to be REALLY good, not just A10 good.

And unless there's someone else like him out there [besides Doherty] that we are recruiting, he's our best shot to land a huge impact big man.

The last piece of the puzzle imo.......

Yep, he's the difference between A10 contender and A10 dominance....the difference between making the tourney or doing damage in the tourney.

It's ok to be excited about this player.

A lot of stock being put into 1 kid who 99.9% of people here have never seen play 10 seconds of ball with their own 2 eyes.
Yes we need impact big men to take the next step in march, however I won't put all of that on the ability to land 1 kid that we have stiff competition for.

If we lose out on Jermaine we need to land Doherty we need some quality bigs

I would love to see both Harris and Doherty - unless one of the guys on the team now steps up really big this year, our front court is Cyril and some borderline A10 players. With both these guys and Cyril and Tate the front court would be Dominant in the A10 and we still have enough guard depth.
