TOBIAS HARRIS ATTENDS UCONN CAMP

Elite 2010 forward continues to accrue college suitors with strong summer

On Sunday and Monday, Jim Calhoun hosted his second annual Connecticut Elite Basketball Camp at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs. For the second consecutive summer, 2010 elite recruit Tobias Harris was in attendance.

Harris, a 6-foot-8 forward from Half Hollows Hills West High School on Long Island, was unable to participate in any on-court action due to a thumb injury suffered in the AAU Nationals in Orlando recently. Tobias was not the only Harris at the camp, younger brother Tyler, just 14 years old, participated in the UConn camp.

“Tobias and Tyler thought the camp was good, they had a chance to speak in depth with Rudy Gay,” Torrel Harris, Jr, father of Tobias and Tyler, told the NBE Basketball Report in an e-mail. “Tobias loves the way Rudy playshe paid very close attention when Rudy was speaking directly to him at the camp.”

Gay was able to deliver some poignant advice for the campers, advice that hopefully all will use to improve their game.

“Rudy discussed how to take advantages of your opponent on the court and how he does it,” Mr. Harris said. “When practicing on your game, practice like it (is) your last game you will play.”

Tobias is also planning to attend the elite camp at Syracuse on August 29th and 30th. Tobias has already made unofficial vists to Big East schools such as Louisville, Rutgers, St. John’s, Marquette and West Virginia prior to this week’s trek to Connecticut.

Following the July evaluation period, schools such as Georgetown, Cincinnati, Auburn, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Texas A&M and Penn State have made their interest known to the Harris family that they would like to be involved in the recruitment of Tobias to their program.
