Huh, we might be thinking of the same article I guess I just figured nothing seemed imminent. I think you're right about Tennessee... It's been almost a month since Harris said that and I don't believe that visit has happened. Really anxious to see where he ends up though!
Update with Tyler. Sounds like Tenn and Memphis are the current favorites but he does speak glowingly of ISU.

Iowa State: "That was my first official visit and it went great. They have a great fanbase and the coaching staff is great. I have a really good relationship with them and I like their style of play. The players made me feel like I was already part of the team, they kind of took me under their wing. Lindell Wigginton, if he doesn't go to the NBA I feel like me and him could be a tough backcourt together."

I still think if he wanted to go to Memphis or Tennessee he would have already
I had the same thought but Tennessee could be a solid threat as a landing spot. Barnes could always recruit and turned them into a respectable program in 2 years. I don't think I anticipated having said that last summer when they weren't on TH's radar.
Another possibility is he knows he is leaving the state and doesn't want to disappoint fans of the Tigers/Vols during his senior year. Memphis fans in particular follow recruiting closely and take pride in keeping home town kids in the city. I know it is one of the issues the alumni are having with Tubby right now.
But didn't Tennessee come on later than the rest and he's planning an upcoming visit? I think Tennessee is definitely a possibility.
2 things out of Simeon that have something (somewhat) to do with Iowa State
Memphis just offered Xavier Pinson out of Simeon, and seemingly show that they don't feel great about their spot with Tyler Harris (somewhat knew this but more confirmation)
And The McDonalds All American game is selecting it's final squads this afternoon at 2

It's cool to see Xavier Pinson finally getting some offers. That kid has a giant brass pair and is gonna be really good when he puts on some muscle.
I love his game. We should keep an eye on that kid cause if he goes to a mid-major, I think he could be a good transfer option later in his career. But I have a feeling he ends up in the Big East

While there is a twitter campaign saying THT belongs in the McDAAG, for those of you that know how it works, he really doesn't have a chance to make the top 24, does he? Be cool if he did.
I'm guessing THT ends up not in the McD's AA game but its cool he has a shot at it. I haven't looked in year past but I am guessing they don't release the names of the ones that just missed, is that right?
Don't really have any insight on how it works but I'm guessing the fact that he attends a prestigious basketball school doesn't hurt. However, looking at last year's roster, about 90% of those selected are consensus 5 star prospects. THT has received plenty of exposure this season with Simeon's schedule but I doubt he gets picked.

Well if I am understanding this right, this is voted on by a committee. Would be similar to others receiving votes in the top 25. And no I don't think it would be cruel. For some it would be an honor for others it would be fuel to get better.
