Tobias Harris returned from his official visit to West Virginia Sunday and now has just two remaining on his seven-campus tour.
“I had a good time, I liked it,” the 6-foot-8 Harris said Sunday night by phone. “I got to chill with the guys, see the practice facility and see the campus life.”
West Virginia coach Bob Huggins told Harris he could slide in and take over for departing senior Da’Sean Butler and sophomore Devin Ebanks, who may leave for the NBA.
“They’re losing Da’Sean Butler and they might lose Devin Ebanks so he wants me to come in and play the roles they’re playing. It sounds good,” Harris said.
Harris has now visited Syracuse, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisville and West Virginia with Maryland (Nov. 13-14) and Georgia Tech (Nov. 16-17) due up in the next week.
He is set to announce Nov. 19.
“When we finish all the visits, Tobias will decide,” Torrel Harris, his father, said recently. “Right now all of them are equal. Every one is better and better.”
