A.J. Harris, the freshman from Dayton Dunbar who is competing with freshman JaQuan Lyle to be Ohio State’s starting point guard, already has coach Thad Matta’s attention because of his speed.
“He’s extremely quick, extremely fast,” Matta said, “I would like to see, when Michael Conley was here, those two in a foot race because I thought Michael was always the fastest player I coached, and A.J. is right there.”
It is high compliment. Conley started at point guard as a freshman on the 2006-07 team that lost in the NCAA tournament final to Florida, declared for the NBA draft and was taken No.
