COLLEGE STATION -- The Texas A&M men's basketball program has announced the signing of Chris Harris, Jr., to a National Letter of Intent. Harris is a four-start recruit according to Rivals that hails from Garland, Texas.

"Chris is a guard who can really shoot the ball," said head coach Billy Kennedy. "He's a guy who can play the 1 or the 2 because he has good ball handling skills. His toughness and understanding of the game will make us better right away."
