Has Cali OL made his decision
Duarte (Calif.) offensive lineman Mike Harris capped off a big senior season by recently being named his league lineman of the year. Harris has a trio of official visits set up but it sounds like he has already made up his mind about where he's going to school.
Harris, 6-4, 305 pounds is one of the state's top two-way linemen and had a very good season on both sides of the ball. He had 60 tackles and seven sacks on defense and was even better on the offensive side of the ball, which is where he's being recruited.

The lineman plays tackle for Duarte but his size would dictate a move to guard at the next level. On the recruiting front, Harris has offers from Mississippi, Arizona, San Diego State and Fresno State plus a grey shirt offer from UCLA.
Harris has three visits set right now but it appears his decision is already made.
"I was going to visit Ole Miss (Dec. 8) but I'm going to visit Arizona that weekend," Harris said. "Of course it depends on whether we win our playoff game this weekend. If we win Friday, we'll be in the CIF finals next weekend and I won't be able to make that trip.
"On (Dec. 15) I'm going to UCLA and I have Fresno State (Jan. 12). UCLA is my top school right now and I've basically told Coach Dorrell that I'm going to accept that grey shirt. I love UCLA, I really love everything about the school.
"I've been around the campus a lot and to games this year and I just get such a great vibe. They have a strong football program with a good tradition and great academics. I love the coaches, the campus, just about everything about the school.
"I still want to take that visit to Arizona because they're a good school too and I want to have something to compare UCLA with. I had a good home visit with Arizona Monday night and also had Ole Miss in the home last night but you could say I'm a soft commit to UCLA right now."
