UPDATE: Tobias Harris announces his decision today

UPDATE: As expected, Tobias Harris is headed to Tennessee. How many long, athletic perimeter players can one team have?


6'8" Tobias Harris, a top 10 recruit in the class of 2010, has made his decision and will announce it at 6pm tonight.

While Harris has the size and length of a forward, he is quick and has the perimeter skills of a point guard (think Evan Turner). One of his requirements when picking a school is for him to be able to play a point forward role in an uptempo, NBA style system.

Harris has cut his list to seven: Syracuse, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, West Virginia, and Georgia Tech.

My personal guess is Tennessee. On his way back from a visit to Georgia Tech last weekend, Harris made a surprise through Knoxville to see Tennessee and Bruce Pearl. Then on Tuesday, Jayvaughn Pinkston, one of the best big man recruits out of NYC, postponed his announcement (he was supposed to be announcing it yesterday, and rumors had him going to Tennessee).

Did he get scared off because Harris will be a Vol?

We find out a 6pm.
