I understand that, and I'd be ok with it... But I'll stick to what I've said for over a year now, I hope he tries to come back and Mark Stoops tells him tough ****. Just my opinion though, he played the UK staff and fans like a fiddle now he gets to deal with whatever.
But you thought to ask about him to a Bama coach?
He burned UK once, and left the coaches scrambling to try and get a rb (king). Stoops had told other highly touted recruits thanks but no thanks, Harris is our back. Helicopter rides to high school games and long relationships and UK basketball games. Saban called and the kid spurned every benefit and relationship that had been built. When you play in mud, you get dirty. He handled the entire process with zero class. I'm not apologizing, I hope the kid never plays a meaningful down of football.
Oh, was that not already common knowledge in October/November when he was still showing up at the Cat Walks giving dap to coach on crutches and still attending every game and leading the staff, team and fans on? Did you miss that part? Was he just not aware of UK's record at that point in the season? Probably b/c he was paying too much attention to denying rumors he was a Bama lean while wearing UK gear to school everyday. Maybe. Maybe if he wasn't a self-serving *** that tried to parlay the attention the entire state was giving him into an ego-stroking award and instead acted like a GD man about the situation and told coach his true intentions, half the sate wouldn't view him as a childish liar. I mean, maybe.
I have zero problem w the fact that he committed to Alabama.
I have a huge problem that he decided that at the Iron Bowl yet pretty much deceived the UK coaches for a long time afterwards.
We lose players. it happens. But I do feel he played UK - and that I don't care for.

Sucks for him, we have moved on. Well there are a few on here that haven't.
I know a good portion of the Kentucky staff and supporting cast. They don't share the same feelings as some of the media and fans. The media/fans talked themselves into believing that Harris coming to UK was a done deal. And that when Harris went elsewhere that he led the staff on. The staff didn't share those feelings. They just wanted a shot to get him. Like Stoops said, "Just give us a chance to recruit you." In the end they felt they worked up a decent shot but by nor means did they feel led on or felt it was a done deal. Sure they were disppointed in the decision but if they felt he could help the team they'd take him back.
Would you rather him come to UK--which he probably won't because oc two yr rule or end up at Otis which would be a real possibility! !!!
Gary, I don't know why you would want that liar here. He lead us to believe he was coming here, enough that Stoops did not recruit another RB. I hope he falls on his face in Alabama. If Stoops take him after what he did to us, I have 4 great tickets someone can have. I cannot stand a liar.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Give them tickets to me. I'll take Damien on my team, any day.
I asked him. Bama coach said UK had no shot. OSU was their only competition. As soon as I heard that I stopped caring about how he plays. The only thing I want now is for Matt Elam to get a TFL on Harris this year.
Dont know if the op is trolling or not but this is making the rounds on the internet..
I know exactly where you're at.... I agree to some extent.... I won't cut my nose off to despise my face... If the guy wanted to come and I knew for sure that he could help UK, then I would put my pride aside... It would be hard, because I want to feel exactly how you do, but I want to win more.... JMO
Makes no difference, they won't release him to an SEC school or anyone on their schedule the next 3-4 years
He looks like a grown *** man. Makes Harris look like a small fry. Henry and Scarborough will be dominant college backs but I wonder about them in the NFL. They are big targets.
I don't think most reasonable people here hate Harris. As has been stated so many times before, it wasn't the fact that he chose Alabama. It was the fact of how he led our coaches and fan base on, all the while knowing he was not going to come here. That is why he is so disliked. Personally, I could care less. It is done, it is over. I am not rooting for him to be the next great Alabama running back, nor am I rooting for him to get hurt. Whether he gets recruited over and rides the pines, I could really care less one way or the other. Do I want him here, HELL NO. Stay in Bama or go somewhere else is is how I feel. We do not need two faced liars in our program!! All that being said, I do think that CMS would accept him back with open arms. Just my opinion.
Never have been able to understand this argument that some make on this board (especially since Harris announced for Bama). Seems to be just fine with UK fans when we do it in basketball. And believe me, if we could, we'd do it in football as well.
Ironic thing is, that Kentucky's oline is going to be looking pretty good the next few years. Gonna have plenty of backs wanting to run behind our guys.
Oh how I would love for the Cats to find a way to beat Bama at their place. I mean, crazier things have happened right?

Again a poster fails to grasp why fans despise him. It's not that he chose bama, it's how he conducted the whole recruiting process and strung our fans, our coaches, and the state of Kentucky along. He was a liar and laughed behind our backs. He used us to even go to basketball games, so he also used Cal as well.
Again?....wrong. I understand why UK fans despise (your word) Harris. I get it. He played UK, UK fans, and the coaches. I get it...no problem. I just said in a nutshell...if he's recruited over at Bama, so be it. That's athletics at any level, from pee-wee to the pros. Just a wrong statement by many of our fans in regard to his situation at Bama. Like he shouldn't have gone there because of it. Like he's just a commodity that can be shoved aside or replaced. Same thing happens at all schools. If a coach can find someone better...they will.
Looks like he reeled you in along with the rest of us.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
The tweets from coaches and the AD on that decision day say otherwise.
Scarbourogh = 6'2" 240 pound BEAST
Harris = 5'11 205 pound player
NUFF SAID!!!!!

I am sure that basketball games weren't the ONLY perks for the tailback
Kid also trolled us after the season was over.
Sorry, I don't care if he ever plays another down.
