We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a 'Getting to Know' series on some players who have attended events but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at Julius Harrison of Piedmont Classical and NC Gaters.'

Harrison has been a standout with the Gaters throughout the summer, and was featured in our 'NC Gaters Starting to Hit Their Stride,' where we stated, 'Last but not least, Harrison has done as much developing as anyone on this roster over the last twelve months. We've had eyes on the versatile wing/forward for quite a while but his game is starting to come together at the perfect time. He joined this group just prior to the season and has found himself in a position to consistently thrive as their glue-guy and main utility player. Harrison's tools and overall understanding of the game have always been evident, but his strides have a three-point shooter have vaulted him into new territory. He's a quality athlete with a high motor, strong rebounding sense, and the ability to seamlessly defend three to four positions. Harrison is skilled enough to push the break in transition or attack off the bounce in the half-court, but also finds scoring opportunities as a cutter. Though reclassifying wasn't totally necessary, it should give him adequate time to continue developing and attracting college coaches. '

It seems although Harrison seems to get better with each passing week, even when playing outside of his normal Gaters group. He joined the New Light Disciples this past weekend and didn't skip a beat in terms of production. Harrison has possessed size and versatility since his elementary school days but the addition of polish is allowing him to start dominating everyone in his path. He's a long, athletic, fairly skilled 6-foot-6 wing prospect with the necessary motor and nose for the ball to really overwhelm his assignment. With improvements to his three-point shot, it's difficult to find many weaknesses within his overall identity. The physical tools and skill improvements are nice, but it's also worth noting that Harrison is a quality person who is willing and ready to continue working on his game.
