DeLaVauntavious Harris, ATH
STATS: #27, Age 9, 6′2″ 257 lbs.
SCHOOL: None
SKILL SET: I won’t bore you with Harris’ abilities, because it’s old news by now. He is THE beast, the ultimate stud, the perfect specimen, the Specibeastud if you will. From his perfect abs to his sinewy lats to his shuttle time, Harris has single-handedly given me the motivation to continue to intensely watch young men play this game for hours a day, 7 days a week. I have experienced no greater joy in my life than covering, watching, studying, delving into all that is DeLaVauntavious Harris. In short, he is the greatest under 15 prospect in history. He was the first 7 year old to be offered by a D-1 school (Miami), and I applaud da U for their talent evaluation and recruiting savvy.
INTANGIBLES: Parents – Harris’ mother LaQuantisha is his rock. His father is unknown to him, although we can assume that he was an impressive athlete; LaQuantisha told me in an exclusive interview that she “only got with them ballas”. Personal – Prospective schools need not worry about DeLaVauntavious Harris. Aside from a few small incidents, Harris has been a model 9 year old. For purposes of journalistic integrity, however, I should report these insignificant happenings. Last year, Harris stabbed his teacher in the neck with a shiv crafted from his ruler, but we all know that this incident was overblown by the media. Two years ago, he stole his neighbors bike, and when confronted about the theft, Harris “allegedly” tied the 14 year old to a bus stop, using the bike chain. Three years ago, he was arrested for soliciting sex from an 11 member Asian family. Aside from these small blemishes, Harris is a great kid with an excellent work ethic. He currently is not enrolled in school, as the terms of his most recent prison sentence do not allow for elementary school participation. Miami, FSU, Cincinnati and Ole Miss have offered.
