Harmon and Baker are definately not playing basketball. Harmon is a solid player but has never worked on his game much. I think Williams saw this coming a long time ago so he has worked Clark and Burchett's a$$$$e$ off. He hired a strength and conditioning coach last spring which has really helped these young kids, especially the big kid Adams. Baker is an average player at best. There was no way he could start for this team so he saw the writing on the wall. I think Williams even told Baker to hit the road last summer. One thing about Bart, if they show signs of a bad attitude they will be sitting in the stands. I honestly don't think he cares if Harmon plays either, due to the fact that he is so high on his young guards! He loves those kids and basketball is their only sport so he is probably making a good long term dedision by starting them as sophomores!

Sounds like you know Coach Williams pretty good and have some inside information. I have also heard that Coach Williams said they didn't need Harmon. If this is the case Harmon is probably doing the smart thing by not playing because it sounds like the sophomores would be getting some of his playing time even if they didn't desrve to be on the floor.
I still believe come playoff time they would need Harmon and they would feel the effects of not having him. I think Burchett is a nice looking ballplayer but Shelby Valley's guards will eat him up this year. Clark is also a decent looking ballplayer but he will struggle with some matchups because of his lack of strength and will also struggle with Shelby Valley's guards.
Harmon is probably figuring that he doesn't want to play college basketball. He knows he has a great opportunity to play college football and baseball and wants to devote more time to those two by working more in the weight room on his speed and strength.
