Congrats to Harris, he will have a chance to win a national title immediately. Plus, the fact that Alabama pumps so many running backs into the NFL had to help sway his decision.

Alexander played against great high school talent. Harris would be an average RB in South Florida, Texas or Cali. Harris played against very weak 5A competition in a weak area for 5A football. Just my opinion. I wish him the best of luck and would have loved if he chose Kentucky though..

All the recruiting services disagree. They don't factor in the talent these guys play against to a great degree when they do their rankings, although I 100% agree with your assessment, he played against weaker competition than he would've in the areas you mentioned. But, they focus more on combine performances, all-star games and small nuances in their game film to determine ratings. Harris doesn't have amazing speed or strength (although still elite) but he has a great knack for knowing where a running lane was opening up and when to make his cuts. He has a special level of football 'instinct' that just can't be taught, that's the reason he got the 5 stars by his name.
