Tyler Harris to visit per John Rothstein

[Huskyforlife]

Easy solution to the dad problem. Lock him out of games. Boom, no more daddy issues.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Not saying much, but he does average more rebounds than any of our bigs, that's a plus. He's 6'9 220 according to ESPN, averaged 10 and 4 last season in 27 min shooting 42%. He looks like he could start at the four for a year while facey and Enoch continue developing. Sign me up, there aren't many good options out there.

10 and 4 is like having 3 Nolans in at the same time.

How would anyone beat us with that lineup?

 

[UConn990411]

He's got a tantalizing amount of talent. It's probably not a good fit because he doesn't defend or rebound too well, and there's obviously the issues with his dad that have been mentioned. But he could make this offense a heck of a lot better.

Nothing about that particular post or poster, but the bi polar nature of this board is hard to deal with. Our roster sucks, but add Tyler Harris and how would anyone beat us.

More seriously, I wouldn't touch this kid if he had more than one year of eligibility left, but I can't see the Dad being a problem wherever he transfers. You can't threaten the coach with transferring out at that point. The kid plays like he cares or he sits. Dad can say what he wants and coach doesn't have to care.

Your math is better than mine. Because to be like having 3 Nolans, I'd be looking for a player who has contributed to and fit in with three championship teams.

I took it to mean three literal Phil Nolans on the court at once, which would be (1) unbeatable and (2) awesome.

 

[UConn76]

Would deff take him has a lot of talent even if hes under-performed a little. A lot of people on here are calling Harris a "big" but he's really a 3 with the game of a 3 and guards mainly 3's.


These highlights are from his sophomore year.

looks good to me...let's go get him..

Maybe if we were putting together a volleyball team.

Tyler Harris has a "Chandler Parsons" type feel to his game. Everything looks effortless. Really smooth for a F.

I really like his older brother Tobias' game. He was a late bloomer out of UT but is really improving and is likely to get paid by the Magic, Knicks or someone who is looking for a good SF with potential to improve. If we do get serious with him I hope he is a late bloomer like his brother, because the size and athleticism certainly seem to be there.

 

[peeps]

you will all kill yourselves after watching him for 3 games.

 

[ktuck911]

Hes a poor mans Tayshaun Prince--nice fit here as he can play in and out. He might not be as a high % as Daniels--but he can help spread the floor. And he does have a nice looking J. Why couldn't his numbers improve on a better team>

I like the fact that he's a lefty... and can put the ball on the floor and take his man off the dribble...

"Miller Time'" Please...lets keep working hard for Miller and celebrate with a cold one.

Daddy problems? Pass.

If Rabb lands @ Cal in the next couple days it has to help us with "Miller Time". Right experts?

 

[pnow15]

So, far this guy has been compared to Tayshaun Prince and Chandler Parsons. By the end of the thread we should be up to Larry Bird and
Julius Erving.

?? No idea what this means

Ivan Rabb is a top 5-10 player who is a PF and considering Cal. If he chooses Cal soon the other poster is suggesting that would eliminate their need for Shonn Miller and thus would help UConn as Cal is currently trying hard with Miller.

The Chandler Parsons comp was a reference to Rothstein's tendency to compare everyone to Parsons.

Thanks. I didn't know cal was option, I keep reading about Michigan and Illinois.

 

[TRest]

Other than the Dad being a loudmouth from the stands, are there any other issues? If the kid had NBA game he wouldn't be in college anymore.

 

[superjohn]

Not sure why so many are saying pass. Sure his dad is a pain in the arse but he just wants the best for his kids, it's worked out pretty well for Tobias. As for Tyler Harris' game a stretch 4 type game seems like a very nice addition to our team. he's 6'9 can handle and has offensive game, those type of players seem to do well here.
