Tobias Harris signs with Tennessee

Consensus top 10 prospect Tobias Harris just announced that he signed with Tennessee.

Harris, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Glen Head, N.Y., had narrowed his choices to Kentucky, Louisville, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Maryland, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Harris signing on the last day of the week-long November period meant that Kentucky had one signee: wing Stacey Poole, Jr., from Jacksonville, Fla.

Kentucky is involved with several highly-rated prospects in the high school class of 2010. Those prospects, which include forward Terrance Jones and C.J. Leslie, plus guards Josh Selby, Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb, are expected to sign in the spring.

Harris is rated in the top 10 of the 2010 class by ESPNU (No. 7), Rivals.com (No. 5) and Scout.com (No. 2 power forward).

Rivals. com called Harris the “best scoring four-man in the class.”

Earlier this year, Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com likened Harris to former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony. Each was a 6-8 forward with a knack for scoring, the analyst said.
