Haralson announcing Wednesday - IU/MSU/ND

You can if you win. If Rice, and Carlyle, and Ballo, and Tucker, and Mgbako, and Reneau, and Goode, all pretty significant recruiting wins for Woody…if they win enough the next year or two, whatever enough is, Haralson won’t matter as much.

Huge loss though for sure if he goes elsewhere.
I see this as final year for Reneau and Mgbako. There should be 5-6 schollies available if so. Galloway, Hatton,Beal and Ballo are gone after season. In the end, I believe IU gets Harelson.

I know who he is. I’m simply saying he wants to be the lead guard and initiate. They ran everything for picket.

Pickett dominated the ball and was a playmaker for State under Shrews, which is what is drawing him towards ND.

He'd get comparable NIL from all 3 final schools.

We are really arguing about nothing. He wants to be the dominant guard. As we know with most offense today you want 3 guard/wing types. So when I say point guard I mean the lead initiator. You are right but so am I. It’s harder to explain. Really when people say 1-2-3etc…I know IU is offering more NIL but I’m sure it’s not much more.
 
How do you know? I hear this a lot, but unless you're in, or close with someone, in JH's camp/family, they're the only ones who know.
It is speculation. It’s also not disputed by ND people. So I drew that conclusion just like many others. Take it for what it’s worth. IU is spendy right now. Basically deductive reasoning.

I don't disagree, but don't think you know. I've felt all along that for Haralson and Mullins, they are not worth more to any other program than to IU and we should have $$ available with who is leaving and projected to leave, but we still don't "know".

I really need to start wording it this way. When I say certain things I don’t always come across correctly.

Look up Jalen Pickets stats his last year at Penn State.

I'm not wrong on this.

He likes what Shrews did with Jalen Pickett at Penn State. That's the appeal to ND.
True, but Izzo also has a track record with development of kids like Harrelson. Valentine/Green/Gary Harris are all comparable and his history of development vs Shrews is deeper than just Pickett.

I don't know what to tell you.

He likes what Shrews did with Pickett, which is a player that Haralson is familiar with and has been a college player this decade, while Green, Harris and Valentine, who haven't been in college since 2016. I'm sure he's been pitched on who Izzo has developed, but Pickett was said specifically in why he likes ND.
 
Great. If he goes to ND then so be it. ND isn’t even competitive and they were awful last season. Hopefully Shrews gets some guys to the NBA soon. 5 star kids are all about the NBA.

Just talking ball. I agree that would be attractive to JH if that is what he is seeking. Just simply saying Izzo has a good history of developing players similar to JH too.
 
Hasn’t developed anyone? He developed a bunch of 2 stars at Penn St. He’s a good coach.
The few folks here who cared about basketball loved Shrewsberry. I remember when IU lost to PSU Woodson's first year my wife and I were at the Bryce Jordan game. We were across from the benches. You looked at IU's bench and they seemed bored. You looked at PSU's bench and they were fired up the entire game. Shrewsberry got everything out of those guys. He seems like a good man.

I'm not denying that.

I was simply replying to what was the reason he liked ND. Pickett's name came up. That's a big reason why he likes ND.

I look Shrews but those “2 stars” were 24 and 25 years old. He is a good coach, but for a guy who is as one and done as humanly possible, he will hurt himself from a brand and marketing exposure going to Notre Dame.

Burton has NBA aspirations. Maybe he’ll leave by next year? I don’t think he’s NBA level, but what I think doesn’t really matter. He and his people have VERY high aspirations. Which is not abnormal I suppose.

But I can’t envision Haralson playing well with Burton if he’d still be at ND.
He’s 5’10….

I can see the appeal of the Shrews-Pickett combo, but I would think what Woody did with Hood-Schifino in one season might have some appeal too.

Having said that, I’ve never really gotten a strong “Haralson-to-IU” vibe from anywhere. Regardless of where he ends up, IMO he’s more than one season away from becoming a legit NBA point guard prospect.

I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but all of the tea leaves 🍃 point toward Notre Dame. MSU would've had a better chance getting him if Izzo would've taken the reins as the primary, like his competition. Mark Montgomery was the primary but he's now at Detroit Mercy. Plus they're a NIL backwater with Izzo. Shrewsbury has broke down significantly more film with Haralson and in Jalens words, "he's an offensive genius that's already helped my game.."

Reexamine the Sisley/Haralson history and recruiting timeliness. I've been told for 2 years they wouldn't play in college together.

lol.

The staff wouldn’t have taken a commitment, let alone recruited Sisley if this was a one or the other type recruitment. Haralson may very well go ND or MSU, but it’s not because Sisley and Haralson don’t like each other.

You’ll be eating crow. Haralson will be a Hoosier. So will Mullins.
