Harris hasn't yet whittled down his list to a handful of favorites - something he plans on doing after the July evaluation period - but Illinois likely will be in the running to make his top-five.
"I like them a lot, man," Harris said. "I like (UI assistant coach) Jay (Price) and Coach (Bruce) Weber. They're both great guys. I like everything about them. There's not just one thing that sticks out about them. It's a great school with a great tradition." http://www.illinoisloyalty.com/GoIll...ike_them_a_lot |

Indiana coach Tom Crean spent Monday at the Indiana Coaches top 100 camp and spent Tuesday in Milwaukee and then Minnesota. Crean was tracking Gary Harris, Cody Zeller, B.J. Young and Collin Hartman. He's spent a lot of time watching Young.

After Tuesday no one can question Harris' toughness. After an inadvertent collision of heads, Harris was sent to the training table with a nasty cut above his left eye. Harris simply got it taped up and came back a few minutes later once the bleeding stopped. When on the floor, Harris was knocking in threes, scoring off the dribble using his athleticism, and also playing lock down defense. Above it all, Harris has a tremendous basketball IQ and really passes the ball well. He has to stay aggressive at all times, but Harris showed why he is such a coveted prospect in the 2012 class.

He is still a bit more potential than production in terms of what he does on the floor, but that is slowly but surely changing. At 6-foot-5 Harris is now playing on and off the ball, and going against Martin Bros., he was asked to do a lot. Harris hit contested threes, used his athleticism to get to the bucket, and now that his handle is improving, his step back jumper is becoming a major weapon for him. He needs to be more aggressive at all times and realize he is usually the best player on the floor, but there wasn't much to complain about with the play of Harris in his team's only game on Thursday.

Gary showed a complete game this weekend, knocking down jump shots when given space, but going to the rim for buckets too. In a game against Mac Irvin Fire he hit five 3-pointers, and knocked down several mid-range jumpers on his way to a 28-point performance. In a game against the Rockford Ambassadors, Harris attacked the defense primarily off the dribble, scoring 22 points. Perhaps what was most impressive about Gary was his willingness to get after it on the defensive end of the court. He racked up several steals in all his games, and used his length to impact the glass and block a couple shots. There really wasn’t much Gary didn’t do in Merrillville, showing off athleticism, ball-handling, smooth shooting touch, and game changing defense. Something to keep in mind is that he’s doing this all while still recovering from an ankle injury.

Hamilton Southeastern’s Gary Harris: A two-sport star
by Zachary Osterman in Recruiting | August 11th, 2010 It’s not as crazy as it seems. Yes, Gary Harris is an elite basketball recruit, particularly after what has been a successful and massively impressive summer. But there’s value, he said, in finding his escape from the hectic universe of basketball recruiting — it comes with pads and a helmet. “(It’s) just another way for you to compete,” Harris said. “It’s fun.” Harris, one of the top 20 players in the 2012 class, already has an offer list pages long, with Michigan State, Indiana, Illinois, Butler, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Xavier among the schools in the mix for his services. And yet, in an age where multi-sport athletes are discouraged in favor of concentrating solely in one field, Harris will be finding his fall fun under the Friday night lights. The 6-foot-4 Harris plays wide receiver for Hamilton Southeastern, a team that finished last season 10-2. “It’s like you can just get away,” Harris said. “You can’t play basketball 24-7. … Football is just kind of a good release.” Of course, Harris will be playing basketball again come wintertime. And given the summer he had, the Royals’ gym ought to sport a who’s-who lineup of college coaches. Harris’ play has made him one of Indiana’s most sought-after 2012 recruits. http://www.insidethehall.com/ |

Notre Dame and Michigan will battle it out on the college gridiron this weekend, but they went head-to-head over the past two weeks in an attempt to get rising junior Gary Harris, a member of the NBE Post-Summer Class of 2012 Top 50 on campus.
