Dafuq? Jamarion Batemon hasn’t even started his senior year of high school basketball and we are already trying to recruit over him… This staff is nuts..
Harrington likely won't stay guard size. He's only a sophomore and already 6-5. I wouldn't be surprised if he grows another 3-4 inches. Be nice to have a big man with guard skills. Even if he doesn't grow another inch, it's still a great get.

As a freshman at North Scott, he tied for their lead in points per game at 13.3, shooting 55% from the field, 46% from three on 4 attempts a game, and 72% from the line. He averaged 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.4 steals, 0.5 blocks, 1.4 turnovers per game.

So last season he didn't contribute much beyond scoring, but for a freshman he was a solid scorer on really good efficiency. It'll be interesting seeing how he does this season, as he was the only one of North Scott's top 7 scorers who wasn't a senior. His workload will be increasing a lot.

I know he was the #1 recruit in the country, but a freshman Harrison Barnes reminds me of this kids film.

if you're not "recruiting over" players you're falling behind in the CBB arms race.
They're also basically different players. And you can never have enough shooters. JB is a 2 / combo-guard. Harrington seems to be more of a wing-3. It really doesn't matter but they're not exactly same comps.

Especially in the NIL/transfer era.

You need a plan and then like 3 plans if the others don't work out.

Calling the staff nuts after the last 3 years is bonkers in itself.

Wasn’t expecting this today! Nice surprise. First I’ve heard of the kid but I just have to trust TJ at this point. He’s earned it.

Is On3 another subscription service, much like 247? Can’t say I pay a ton of attention to it all but seems like insider updates here are maybe twice a month versus these other sites (247) I can’t click into with updates on football redshirts, transfer targets, etc. Trust me, I could care less about the $10/mo but can’t justify paying 3 sites for the latest in ISU.
