The folks that have consigned South Carolina

to the cellar of the SEC East might want to think again. Darrin Horn has these guys trapping all over the floor and running and gunnin'. He has done a fantastic job as a recruiter, too, snagging former UGA recruit Damontre Harris and others.

After putting a real scare in Michigan State, South Carolina will surprise some teams this year.

The SEC East is really tough, folks.

Georgia Trailing in Recruitment of Harris

Damontre Harris, a 6' 9" center prospect for 2010, is said to be favoring South Carolina.

South Carolina's coach, Darrin Horn, was the first major college coach to offer Harris. Since that time, Harris has had several impressive outings and has picked up other offers, including Auburn, Wake Forest, and Connecticut.

Although Harris has visited UGA, and was coached by Jarvis Hayes during a recent camp, UGA has not been able to dislodge Carolina from their leading position.

ESPN on Damontre Harris

He has a ways to go to maximize his potential. But the potential is there.

If he commits to Georgia, he'll have to hit the weights hard.

Damontre Harris

I understand that Harris recently visited UGA and was offered a scholarship by Coach Fox.

Seems that Damontre Harris is a bit of a late bloomer. He played well at the NBPA Camp, where he was mentored by none other than UGA grad, Jarvis Hayes.

Harris has picked up a few offers, including Georgia, Auburn, South Carolina, and Boston College, according to Scout.com.

Harris averaged 5 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocked shots last year playing for Trinity Christian. My concern is that if Harris manages just two baskets a game against what might be considered not the highest level of competition, he may end up overmatched in the SEC.

Although my personal preference is that Georgia go after center prospects who overpower guys to rebound and dunk the ball, if Harris is good enough for Jarvis, he's good enough for me.

It will be tough for Coach Fox to manage the scholarships he has available. The only graduate after next season will be Albert Jackson. Georgia desperately needs a shooter, so we'll have to see how the Harris offer and the associated scholarship numbers turn out.
