I love it. He made a statement to his team that he is worried about the 2016 season and not what he's doing in 2017. Many of his teammates this is all they have left. They aren't fortunate enough to go play at the next level so to have your leader come out and say "hey guys I'm focused on this high school season and not my college future." Shows what the kid is all about and I commend him for it.

I'm not going to hold it against the kid, but he made a mockery of his teammates. His coach convinced him to use his prowess as a star player to rile up the attention and then cast a bad light on his school. If you want to lead by example and show your teammates you're not going to focus on the future until the season is over, don't organize a commitment ceremony with LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss hats on the table. None of it was necessary.

As I said in the other thread, hopefully Harris uses this as a learning moment that influential people will try to use him for personal gain and he'll be the one left holding the bag if shite goes south. His coach is the first of many.

Absolutely disagree, whether it was the coach or the players idea it was to spark the team and show that he is 100 percent committed to his high school team and is not worried about his college future.

The coach over at Plaquemine high turned that program completely around from where it was about 10 years ago. If this is the kind of stunt that needs to happen to motivate his team then good for both of them

If he wants to lead by example, with preseason starting soon, be the first one there every morning and the last one to leave. Bust your arse through every drill and show your teammates you'll give 100% every minute of every game and practice. Help the younger kids who might not be as good as him, show them the way you got to where you are because that's where they want to be. Be a vocal leader and communicate with the guys you line up next to. Talk to all of your teammates off the field in the hallways of your school, no matter their color, height, weight or importance to the team.

THAT'S what leaders do.
