BE: Providence lands Tyler Harris (Transfer)

[RayRay19]

Im assuming he can play right away is that correct?

Should be an interesting year for them.

Remember when Coombs dropped 25 on them and we thought he had finally "arrived" hahaha...

The article says he's sitting out next season.

Harris has that overbearing father.
What's the story with PC? Supposedly, they had 2-3 kids leave their program, including Coleman. If so, where did Coleman end up. Also, there were rumors that Ledo wouldn't qualify. What's his status?

Coleman would up at Gonzaga. Who knows about Ledo.

Oh! yeah...missed that

Harris isn't much of a player.

I sorta missed Coleman transferring - that seems like an odd move.

The Coleman thing is boggling, Cooley sat all the players down and let them know what he wanted them to work on in the summer and also some expectations regarding next year. He told Coleman that he would see diminished minutes because of the addition of Ledo and Dunn and that he envisioned him being a highly productive 6th man. After playing 36 minutes a game this year and the previous year Coleman decided to transfer to Gonzaga. Too bad really but as you guys know it's a new world with these players that all schools must deal with.

Harris has grown 2 inches to 6'9" and put on 30lbs since he walked on the NCST campus. He will help us and as some of you who have seen him play he has skills, calling him not much of a player is a bit much but we will see.

Ledo graduated (finally) and got a qualifying score. What he needs is a waiver because he took 5 years to complete his core course. The staff believes they will get it because of the way Kiwi Gardner was treated last year. I think that's a little to optimistic knowing the NCAA and in particular the clearinghouse. He is what we need to have any success at all next year.

PC has taken 3 ex top 100 transfers now; Carson Derosiers from Wake, Sidiki Johnson from Arizona and Tyler Harris from NCST. You got to start somewhere I guess.

Edit: The other two kids to leave were Bilal Dixon who graduated with one year of eligibility left and Ron Giplaye another BABC kid who was good friends with Coleman, they went to Towson State and E. Tennessee St. respectively. Neither were BE level talents.

I love a level headed PC fan that can just participate in a normal discussion.

This Harris gets a not so good rap mainly because he's played in the shadows of older brother.
Hopefully, for Cooley's sake, daddy doesn't get in their way.

Yeah, I wish Ed Cooley good luck dealing with Tyler's father.
