  • Harris Visits Rutgers on World Tour

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    The Tobias Harris World Tour continued through June and concluded Sunday with a stop at Rutgers.

    Harris, a 6-7 rising junior guard/forward from Dix Hills (NY) Half Hollows West, visited Marquette, Texas, USC, UCLA and Rutgers for team camps over the final week of June.

    “Tobias said the Rutgers Camp was awesome,” said Torrel Harris, his father. “The coaches worked him and the other elite players very hard. He learned a lot and really enjoyed himself.”

    Harris, ranked highly by Rivals in the Class of 2010, holds offers from Louisville, Texas, Rutgers, UConn, Indiana, Maryland, Arizona, Marquette, Baylor, St. John’s, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami, Virginia, Delaware and Hofstra. He is a high priority for Rutgers, but he’s no secret on the national scene.

    “(Texas) Coach (Rick) Barnes told Tobias he loves the way he plays with his natural instinct for the game and that if he continues to work hard he could be real special player,” Torrel said.

    The sad news for Harris was that he recently learned his childhood friend, Morgan Child, passed away at 16 of a rare blood disease.

    “The funeral was on Saturday in Palos Verdes, Cal.,” Torrel said. “After the funeral Tobias took an unofficial visit to USC and then watched his friend Renado Sidney play a summer high school game.”

    Both Sidney and Harris will be at the Reebok All-American Camp next week in Philadelphia, along with several area stars, including Paterson Catholic standouts Fuquan Edwin and Shaq Thomas.
