Tyler Harris Transferring to Auburn for Final Season

Tyler Harris has chosen the school he will spend his final season of eligibility and it has a familiar head coach. Harris committed to Auburn University and Bruce Pearl on Friday, indicating his commitment by sending out a tweet of #WarEagle, the well-known battle-cry at Auburn. Harris visited the campus during the first weekend in May. He also visited Boston College, UConn, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Nebraska and Oklahoma State during his transfer process.

Providence Prepares for Dayton, Meets with the Media

Providence arrived in Columbus on Wednesday and were greeted by some Friar fans at the team hotel. After settling in the team watched the Dayton/Boise State game together in their film room at the hotel and “watch[ed] with an open mind” according to Carson Desrosiers. The team practiced Thursday morning with an eye on Dayton for the first time and LaDontae Henton, Kris Dunn, Tyler Harris, Carson Desrosiers and Ed Cooley met with the media Thursday afternoon around 5pm followed by another team practice.

Here are some of the highlights from that media session:
