Jay Harris -- 2010

[Wuzee]

Shox said to be "close" to offering this 6-1 combo guard from Oswego (Ill.) East.

" ... Harris is considered the fifth-best senior prospect from Illinois and No. 21 point guard in the Class of 2010. Serious suitors are North Dakota State and Ball State offered; Wichita State and Valparaiso are close. ..."

Interesting. Could be a lot of competition for PT at the point next year...

In November ChicagoHoops.com ranked Harris as the 21st best player for 2010 in Illinois. For comparison, Jordan Threloff (Illinois State) was #16. Rayvonte Rice and Karl Madison (both to Drake) were #15 and 11.

This kid has put up some really big numbers.

One of the things that I think WSU could use is a player that is hard to stop. We seem to lack a go to guy that can put double figures in the stat book every game.

Mr. Harris might be the right guy, if he is willing to continue to work once he gets here.

From the article posted by Denny Crane:

Winning this game is big for us," said Harris, who has received offers from Ball State, Valparaiso, Wichita State and New Mexico State.

Harris scores 14 of his teams last 18 points.

He was held to just 38 points tonight.

I also have word that Texas A&M is interested.

This is the guy I'm liking more and more.

Based on the past 2-3 weeks I'm not sure if we really want to recruit to next year. Besides, a PG of this caliber could still propel us to the top of the MVC with the improvement of everyone else.

[tropicalshox]

Virginia Tech and Boston College are looking.

Trop, I really appreciate all of your insight and info on recruits. This player sounds like a keeper. I wonder if we are towards the top of his radar?

[forevershockerfan]

Maybe it won't be too long before we know who our last recruit will be.
