You don’t have to ask Tim Harrison ’20 what he’s all about if you’re willing to listen. “I’m in the rough, far from perfect/ But certain I’m gonna make it/ Willing to pay the price, no matter how high the payment,” he raps on one of his singles, “In the Rough.” On the basketball court, the 6-foot-8 forward is what you might call an “energy guy” — a player ready and willing to provide a spark off the bench. Harrison, however, brings that spark everywhere. He also writes and records his own music and is a voracious reader, determined to make himself a little better each day. “They say the worst mistake is being too afraid to make one/ So when I get my shot, I’mma take it.”
