Three-star 2007 prospect Tearon Hill increased his value as a prospect when he reclassified and enrolled at Harmony Community School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Hill, a 6-foot-9, 230-pound post player originally from Carrollton, Texas, has recently picked up three high-major offers.

"Seton Hall and Tennessee are recruiting Tearon the hardest right now," said Hill's AAU coach Mitch Malone of Texas Blue Chips. "Purdue, Nebraska, UNLV, Kansas State and Gonzaga are also showing interest.
"Tearon has offers from Seton Hall, Tennessee and Nebraska, but he is in no hurry to make a decision. He is just trying to sift through everything and find the best fit for him."
With his defense ahead of his offense, Hill is a formidable defensive presence in the lane and his offense is beginning to come around.
"Tearon's greatest strength is his rebounding and shot blocking," said Malone. "His offense is starting to come along. He is getting really good coaching at Harmony. It has also helped him a lot to practice against talented players everyday.
"He is a high energy player, who is real coachable kid and a good communicator on the court. Tearon thrives on big match ups."
