Was other schools offering Harris after his play in the summer league ?

I remember with Rodney White, during the summer league in DC he had offers both summers, but chose to stay with us, before he was eligible.

Thanks for posting this. It’s really helpful for out of town folks who don’t always check Charlotte.com.

if we had not used the scholarship this season, could we have carried it over until next year.

Yes. But since we promised Dijuan Harris that he get a scholarship - we would have had to leave one open for him to earn.

It would have been cruel to make Harris pay for a year of school on a team with 12 players on scholarship and then give him a 2007 schollie.

Jucujunction.com said he was hearing from Houston, Lasalle and App St. in the weeks following his verbal to us. Tubby Smith expressed some interest over the summer…to bring him to Minnesota. I remember the Rodney ordeal. It was a major accomplishment just to keep him here.
