Lists MU as school of interest - could having a center from the same town help us?

[GOMU1104]

Recently cut his list of 50 offers down to a "Top 9"...but only said that Oklahoma State was one of the 9, nobody else.

Going to need a guard in the 2011 class.

Every thing I have read about this kid is that he can go for 40 in his sleep

I can go for 40 in my dreams too.

Just 40???

You're pathetically lame!

There's a list of 11.

[GOMU1104]

Harrison, a four-star recruit who is ranked as the 61st-best overall prospect in the Class of 2011, has received scholarship offers from nearly 50 schools, but on Friday narrowed it down to nine finalists, Henderson said.

"We met as a family yesterday and cut the list down to nine (schools), and Oklahoma State is one of those nine," Henderson said.

Per Zags blog he is down to 5

Texas A&M, Marquette, Baylor, Oklahoma State and St. John's.

It said he's already done an unofficial to Marquette

Him, JP Tokoto, and a point guard would be amazing.  Juan Anderson as a backup.

Harrison is 2011
Anderson is 2011
Tokoto is 2012

[wadesworld]

Harrison is 2011
Anderson is 2011
Tokoto is 2012

Yup you're right, my mistake.  Well, then Anderson, Harrison, a PG, and Tokoto the next year!

Although I would be extremely happy with Faust in there...

You are certainly not a guy who'd settle for "only" going for 40 points in his dreams.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Article today says he's down to four.

Two Big East schools and two Big 12 schools

[wyoMUfan]

RT @AdamZagoria: D'Angelo Harrison says his top 4 is Marquette, Oklahoma State, Baylor & St John's. Taking unofficial to St. John's soon.

[HoopsMalone]

Love the Buzz Texas connection.

D'Angelo Harrison tells Matt Whitfield of NBE tonight its a three-school race: St. John's, Marquette and Baylor... http://fb.me/wCK1OkDH 2 minutes ago via Facebook

[ATL MU Warrior]

well that's good news

[martyconlonontherun]

FYI: Per ESPN (I know, I am a n00b)

D'Angelo Harrison   SG   6'3"   180   TX   96   None
Bottom Line:
When all is said and done Harrison is a guy you put on the floor and things happen. There will be nights when this guy can carry you to a win with his offensive skills.

Pro: Amazing scorer
Con: Combo guard that would need that he knows how to defend.

(I summarized since it's insider and I don't know the rules here/I feel they should have a right to block it for payment)

You have to think it's a two-man race between Baylor and us, IMHO. Baylor has the hometown advantage but we got the Big East.

[NersEllenson]

96 is a pretty high rating on ESPN...I believe Vander was a 95 or 96..just as a point of reference.

[martyconlonontherun]

True but 96 ranges from #26-91. Harrison is ranked #61 overall and #20 SG. Blue was 95 and #31 overall and  #7 SG. Players 30-80 probably are interchangeable based on the recruiting service and the tourneys they play in.

ESPN seems to have changed their points system this year. As you said, this year a 96 could be ranked in the 90s, while last year #79 Jeronne Maymon was rated a 91. The ratings are pumped up now so there appears to be little difference among the top players. Maybe that reflects how recruiting is a crapshoot, but its kind of a copout if you ask me. Oh well, thats ESPN scouting.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he ended up in NY. Lavin is bound to land a top recruit sooner or later. While coming to MU might mean more victories, if its playing in the Big East that would be attractive to him, St Johns makes more sense. He could come in and start from day 1, in the biggest city in America, at MSG, or fight with a ton of good players for minutes at MU.

May be a copout but is more accurate. Too many people think a player at 40 is leaps and bounds better than the guy ranked 80. They rank them, but say they are pretty close to be the same.

[BCHoopster]

Having Texas kids here is huge, none of them have transferred, that says to me that they are happy here,
and Fulce, Williams, Otule do not even play a lot.  Butler has but not at first, was not ready.  All 4 have improved
here, another positive.  Crowder played in Texas as did Cadougan.  I am more confident on him then any of the
others, time will tell.

I agree it is more accurate in terms of predicting college careers to lump them together. But it is a recruiting service's job to tell us who the best players are, in order. ESPN is just admitting defeat by rating #26 the same as #91.
