[h2]Island's top player pondering transfer[/h2]
For Hills West star Tobias Harris, the top player on the Island, it's come down to a choice of two high schools for this fall: a return to Hills West ora move to Long Island Lutheran. All indications are he'll attend Lutheran, where he'll join American Christian transfer Ashcraf Yacoubou to form adevastating inside-outside combo, although a handful of other prep schools also pursued him when he announced he was considering leaving Hills West.
"I'm not totally sure," Harris said. "I'll know in a few days."
Soon after Harris figures out what high school he'll attend, he'll turn his attention to choosing a college, and he's one of the NCAA'shottest prospects of late. He handles the ball and shoots like a guard, but at 6-8, he has the size of a big man.
Harris said he plans to visit Maryland, Virginia and Georgetown next week, although a plethora of other schools - including Louisville, UConn, Texas andRutgers - are still in the hunt for him. He has no timetable on a decision (he's just a junior), but he said he might decide this year.
He doesn't want to wait as long as some top prospects.
"I don't want to have that hanging over me," he said.

Omari Lawrence just committed to St. John's, and close friend Kevin Parrom, his teammate at South Kent (Conn.) Prep, is also strongly considering theJohnnies.
"St. John's is on the list," Parrom said. "It's a good school."
Parrom added that Lawrence had called him soon after committing to St. John's. As well, Oswald Cross, Parrom's AAU coach with the New York Panthers,just accepted a staff position in Fresh Meadows.
Still, the Johnnies have plenty of work to do on this one. Xavier, South Carolina, Pitt, Temple, Marquette and UConn are all involved. Parrom said he washoping to take three visits next month, but St. John's wasn't on that list.
"I haven't planned them yet, but most likely I'll be taking a visit to UConn and Xavier and South Carolina," he said.
