A.J. HARRIS
TRANSFERRED ON MARCH 29, 2016
Harris, the first member of Ohio State’s heralded 2015 recruiting class, also lasted only one season. See a theme yet? Of course you do.
The undersized Dayton point guard played 13.7 minutes per game off the bench as a freshman before joining Grandstaff, Giddens and Mitchell as the fourth first-year player to not make it more than a season at Ohio State. Harris chose to transfer to New Mexico State. After sitting out the 2016-17 season, he started back-to-back years, averaging 9.5 points and 3.5 assists in 26.6 minutes per game. Harris was set up to start a third season in a row, but an ankle injury cut short his season after three games.
He’s reportedly seeking a medical exemption for a sixth year due to the injury that ended last season prematurely.
