Harris Appreciation Thread

[porkulus]

Big props to Harris today.  He takes a beating on this board, and deservedly so at times.  He came up big today and we wouldn't have won without him.  Gotta give credit where credit is due.

[reddogjcss]

He done very good! +1

[razorbackkid]

Really needed his scoring today and he came through like a champ!

[Karma]

Both of our conference road wins he played very well.

[alaback]

Harris picked up the slack today that Qualls normally provides.  He was huge in road wins at UGA and now Mizzou.

Harris is the Jekyll and Hyde of our team. At times, he comes out and is a stud. His strength, size, and athleticism make him tough to guard, and he has nice touch on his shot. At other times, he really, really struggles.

He needs to play 30 minutes per game when he is Jekyll, and 2 minutes per game when he is Hyde. The thing is, you can usually tell which one he'll be within the first 30 seconds he is on the court.

GREAT game today though. We definitely lose without him.

That's a great analogy.  And you are correct, it doesn't take long to see which way his day is going to go.

harris could do so much more if our guards could take the game over.  he'd be the power at forward that we need.

Pffff. Dude, you just described every player on the team. There are people that post that can't wait to jump all over CMA even when they only win by 1, but his UA team's to date have not had ONE guy that can be counted on 85% of the time. Even Portis is about 40% reliable on defense, and offensively his last-second put back vs AL made us all forget that he had a bad game overall.  They're all Jekyll and Hydes.

You never know what you're going to get from the 4 position on this team.  Harris and Williams have played well at times but have been inconsistent.  In most of our losses the 4s have had bad games.

Loved Harris in this game!

Harris and Madden came through when Qualls had an off game!

Big road win!

[razorfrog]

Can't imagine how bad we are gonna be next year without Harris, Madden, and Portis.  Yea Harris and Madden arent grade but they have won games for us.  If Qualls leaves we are in huge trouble

[SamBuckhart]

Very nice game today Mr. Harris. Love the way you shoot.

I understand the concern.  But I remember a time we lost Mayberry, Day, and Miller.  We had an all American in Williamson coming in but I don't remember a lot of excitement about the other newcomers.  We all know how that turned out.  I am optimistic about our future.

Harris with 2 big road games and 2 SEC wins on his resume

[Danny J]

He was at the head of the press late in the game and much of the second half when he was in the game and played it perfectly. Kept the PG in front of him which is not a easy thing to do for a man of his size. Was really impressed with that as much as anything else.

Good comment.  He played good defense at the top of our press and in the half court.  He really broke down and moved his feet without fouling or letting someone blow by him.  Best overall game I remember him playing.  Big props.

Alandise has been playing good at some key moments.

Alandise has been playing good at some key moments.

We call him 'Lan at our house, especially when he wants the lane cleared out.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

He is a very good odd shot maker. Makes him very hard to guard.

I thought he played a fabulous game.

[TDHog]

I have been critical of his play in the past, I have to give him his dues.  He played well today, and seems to be improving overall

[Hawg Red]

I love Harris because so many fans can't stand him but he comes up big in some key games. Just wish he'd be a little more consistent. All in all, he's a valuable play for us. He can bounce back and forth from starter to reserve and not playing any different, and there's something to be said for that. People need to let go of how ugly his jumper is. It works. 48.5% from the field and 41.2% from 3. HE'S ONE OF OUR BEST SHOOTERS!

I just hope he does not disappear for 2 or 3 games. That has been his pattern. Play good for a game or tow then go 2-15 over the next 2 or 3 games.

There is no doubt, without him last Sat, the Hogs lose that game.
