all good.. we are still in the game !

Nice!!!!!! Let's do it!!!!!!

I'm afraid he's going to blow up this month.

Harris is blowing up this month. Just look at the Head Coaches watching him this week to name a few.................

What we have going for us is we were in on Harris early, chance for playing time early on, Jeff Dowtin and Stanford Robinson from the same Upper Marlboro area of Maryland. David Cox. Dan Hurley. URI Success.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com ... e-watching

Miami: The Hurricanes had several targets in attendance, and Jim Larannega saw as many as he could. Among those drawing his attention were top-35 point guard Devon Dotson, five-star big man Moses Brown, four-star DC Premier teammates power forward Jermaine Harris and wing Saddiq Bey and Rivals 150 center Emmanuel Dowuona.

Kansas: Bill Self was a very busy man on Thursday. On his hit list were five-star point guard Jahvon Quinerly, who is expected to visit the Jayhawks, five-star big man Moses Brown and five-star Nazreon Reid. Four-star Jermaine Harris has entered the Jayhawks' radar along with others like another priority PG recruit Devon Dotson and in-state 2019 stars Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Zach Harvey.

West Virginia: If Bob Huggins could design his ideal power forward recruit, the prospect would likely be really similar to 2018 four-star forward Jermaine Harris. Huggins was watching the DC product’s every move in Atlanta.

Maryland: Mark Turgeon and his staff really want to lock down regional talent, and 2019 four-star twins Makhi Mitchell and Makhel Mitchell got plenty of attention. Four-star point guard Devon Dotson recently visited and got a look, as did four-star wing Saddiq Bey and power forward Jermaine Harris. From the New York/New Jersey area, five-star rising senior big Moses Brown got a look, as did five-star 2019 teammates Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis.

Boom

This is like the third or fourth time you've just posted the word boom and nothing else. Would you care to add something of substance?

Ramulous wrote:Boom

Is Boom good or bad?

I have no idea what they were trying to get at, and it's multiple times it's happened, which is why I finally said something

Boom is bad....it is my word when one of our recruits prices himself out of our market....

I was told we have about a 20% chance of getting him. Not great, but better than zero.

Ramulous is suffering from a rare malady
called Azarwrotethis.
It's not contageous,however.

I've always used boom in a positive way...

Ramulous grew up watching Rex Trailors "Boom Town".
The highlight of the show was everyone singing,
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM TOWN!"
He was traumatized by that, and boom became
a negative to him.
He has Boom Town PTSD,

I loved Boomtown!

Rex Trailer was my idol...

I also liked the Boomtown Rats...

....and I don't like Mondays....and the friars...

Now it's Boom...

As of right now we're still in the mix, he's yet to take a visit anywhere else. This is very similar to when we were recruiting EC and JT.

The difference being they are guards. When was the last time we recruited a 4 year 4 star forward?

It was Boom this past weekend....

You also said boom three weeks ago and he was on campus a couple of days later

Sorry guys.....no one wants me to be wrong more than me......but I still say Boom

And I knew we were getting the visit and I still said boom....it's not like I said it and then he announced he would visit

I guess Cox has known Harris for a long time. That's what gives us some hope.

There are no moral victories in recruiting, but that's pretty impressive company we're in.

I didn't know that Southern Utah was now coached by Todd Simon who previously coached at Findlay Prep and at UNLV as both an assistant and interim head coach.

Kansas
West Virginia
Miami
Maryland
Rhode Island
Xavier
South Carolina
and
Southern Utah????

Coach at Southern Utah used to be at Findlay Prep and Interim Head Coach at UNLV

Happy to be in the running with these brutes.

Let's pretend like it's 1998 and beat Kansas again...

Top 75 Jermaine Harris down to eight

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com ... n-to-eight


Rhode Island: "Rhode Island I think is a top 25 program and the way they treat their players is something I really like."

More highlights and reduction to 8

Man, some serious skills. I hope we close this... Playing with the big boys here,

It sounds like it's more like a top 5 and 3 others:
Kansas
West Virginia
Maryland
Rhode Island
Xavier

If this kid picks us, it's a game changer for this program's current and future recruiting prospects. Especially with big men.

Just wish Kansas wasn't in that group.....but they are all tough.

This would be awesome!! that's my two cents. It's already impressive, to be in the mix with him, but if Harris comes here, wow!

Lots of Rhody love on his twitter.

EXACTLY what I just said to myself after reading that article.

Miami and SC don't seem to have any relationship with him at all, and Southern Utah, is, well, Southern Utah.

That's weird that he doesn't seem to have a relationship with Miami, because this is what he said about a month ago:

What schools do you feel like you are starting to build that relationship with?
Maryland, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Georgia, Miami (Fl)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How great is it to be a high major team? No relationship at all with the head coach, still get an early visit.

http://www.cityofbasketballlove.com/new ... ferrer_id=

-- After a long summer with D.C. Premier, Jermaine Harris has begun to schedule visits for this fall. The 6-9 forward will check out Xavier’s campus in September, then travel down to West Virginia shortly after that. He also plans on visiting Miami in September. In addition to the schools he will officially visit, Rhode Island, Maryland, and South Carolina have all been recruiting the Upper Marlboro, Maryland native. A rising senior at Rock Creek Christian Academy, Harris is looking for a school where he can come in and make an impact early, in addition to developing a great relationship with the coaches and teammates. At 6-9, Harris has a great feel for his game in the post. A patient big man down low, Harris has a soft touch around the rim, and can even expand his game out to 15 feet along the baseline.

I want this guy bad.

That would be something if we land this kid with those schools on his list

Wherever this kid is playing this weekend Hurley, Cox, Moote and Boswell need to be at every game. This kid needs to be top priority then Tate and Gilbrewhit

Keep in mind we have 5 openings and the odds of landing Harris aren't over 50%.

I think everyone needs to breathe and have faith in Danny and Co. they've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they know what they're doing.

They're not going to fill 5 spots this year because they don't want to have to continually have classes like that.

Also, we got EC and Hass in September. Terrell in May. Breathe.

I guess we'll know who wasn't breathing soon enough since they clearly won't be able to post anymore

We had like 72 pages on Terrell and only two on Harris? This guy is what we need.
