Strauser and Petersen has demonstrated that they can identify talent and develop OL given what we've seen this year. The team had to replace 5 starts or so, and we even saw Andrew Kirkland become a productive player despite the consensus here that he would never see the field, let alone start.
Harris should also benefit by being able to RS and develop for 1-2 years before he even plays in a game given the depth ahead of him at Center.
Gotta love a guy who is athletic enough to play OT in high school and then projects as a center. He may only start for 1 or 2 years but he'll probably be good enough to pull on some plays and will be great to have in the screen game.

We took him to make sure there is someone who will remind Luke Wattenberg that Washington is a fun, awesome place that people are lucky to get scholarships to (because for one of them, that is true).
The Harris commitment sucked because he was the plan B to Eletise. He's fine for a center prospect though. The non-elite Linemen are probably the biggest crap-shoot in football recruiting.

I wouldn't worry about him.
