[AZ PREPS]

Almost two weeks has pass by and not one person from NYC area gave Tyler props to how he played at Nike EYBL. So I posted what all the people who were their and wrote for your review. This is why 6 foot 8 Tyler "Smooth " Harris will be one of top rank kid in the country.

Other Saturday EYBL Notables

Tyler Harris, SF/PF, Albany City Rocks- It's tough to figure out whether Harris projects more as a tall wing or as a mismatch four man with quickness. Either way, he's been a productive guy this spring and his game has progressed quite rapidly. Underrated as an athlete, he utilizes a quick first step and general offensive cleverness to do his damage. He does need to add strength, but he proved that his four star status has much more to do with his game than who his older brother (Tennesse bound McDonald's All-American Tobias Harris) is.

Nike EYBL Session #3 Eye-Catchers
The third session of the Nike EYBL held in Hawthorne, Calif., had its share of elite talent on hand. We take a closer look at nine prospects that managed to stand out from the crowd.

DORIAN FINNEY-SMITH
SF, 6-7, Boo Williams
Often playing as a point forward, Finney-Smith was a nightmare for opposing defenses. He got to the rim for acrobatic finishes, hit some tough jumpers and displayed plenty of versatility. Should he replicate these performances he'll be due a pretty large bump in the rankings. He's hearing from Kansas, Kansas State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Florida, Xavier and Cincinnati.

MIKE GILCHRIST
SF, 6-7, Team Final
The nation's top-ranked player and he looked the part over the weekend. He's much more about substance than flash and is a steady all-around performer. He showed much improved ball-handling, was sticking pull-up jumpers and played with outstanding effort like always. The beauty of his game is in it's simplicity in that he doesn't waste touches and is highly efficient.

TYLER HARRIS
SF, 6-7, Albany City Rocks
Whether it was scoring off of left-handed dribble-drives or pulling up for jumpers from between 12 and 20 feet, Harris was a load offensively. He's not the most vocal kid on the floor, but he's gaining confidence with each outing and he was getting his offense with ease all weekend long. He's a high-basketball-IQ kid who can pass and rebound as well.

EYBL Los Angeles: Day One Rundown

By Evan Daniels

Posted May 30, 20

Tyler Harris, PF, Albany City Rocks ? After a slow start, Harris, the brother of Tennessee commit Tobias Harris, got it rolling against the Memphis YOMCA. A 6-foot-7, possibly 6-foot-8 hybrid forward, Harris does majority of his work facing the basket. Although he has a slight slow release, his shot is good to 21-feet, he has a great set of hands and moves very well. He’s especially good in transition and finished in the second half with contact. According to his father, Torrell, Harris will stay in the class of 2011.

Tyler Harris Adds More Offers
Posted on Jun 2, 2010 12:00 pm
Tyler Harris isn’t just Tobias’ younger brother.
The 6-foot-8 Harris ? and the brother of Tennessee-bound forward Tobias Harris ? is making a name for himself as one of the top ballers in the New York area.
The No. 16 small forward in the Class of 2011 out of Dix Hills (N.Y.) Half Hollow Hills West, Harris recently picked up scholarship offers from N.C. State, Virginia Tech and South Florida, according to his father, Torrel.
He previously held offers from UConn, Seton Hall, Tennessee, Duquesne, Fordham, Hofstra and Boston College.
Among the schools showing interest are Georgia Tech, Maryland, Wisconsin, UCLA and George Mason, Iowa, West Virginia and St. John’s.
“Everything is open right now,” Torrel Harris said of the schools.
Harris played well in the recent EYBL in Los Angeles, helping the Albany City Rocks go 4-1 to advance to the Peach Jam next month.
He averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, including a 30-point game against the Memphis YOMCA.
“He was probably our leading scorer for the five games,” City Rocks coach Jim Hart said. “He was consistent. He shot well from the perimeter. He rebounded. He’s multi-skilled on offense. He rebounds well. When he adds strength and more intensity he’s going to be a real good player.
“His skills and his ballhandling are really good. Once he gets that killer instinct like his brother, he’s going to be a real solid high-major player.”
