On Sunday I noted that Syracuse might do a package deal offer for Paul Harris to get him to commit, by also offering his teammate Jonathan Flynn. It seems, that is exactly what they did, and it worked (via BE B-Ball).

Also, in response to Mark who disagreed with me about whether Harris is could end up going to prep school, college for a year and then the NBA or prep school and then directly to the NBA. I had been unaware about Harris having academic issues, but as for the prep school that apparently is still up in the air:

Harris, meanwhile, is the first player in the Class of 2006 to commit to the Orange. He will attend a prep school during the 2005-06 academic year and has narrowed his choices to Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute, Notre Dame (Mass.) Prep and South Kent (Conn.) Prep.

Harris will turn 19 in October. There has been some question whether he would be classified as a fourth-year senior or a postgraduate student at prep school next year. If he was a postgrad, he would meet the NBA’s requirements for entering the draft.

Either way, I guess it won’t be Pitt’s worry.
