RECRUITING: Tyrese Haliburton commits
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
If the staff lands Griffin, Haliburton, Conditt and Horton-Tucker. I would not care one bit about not landing Harris.
No subscriber only info being provided here, but Alex still has Harris to Iowa State. Nothing has changed over there since June though.
Refer to your own post....After you insinuated people were panicking and assuming things from one silly non reputable source's post , Poster A (can't remember who it was) replied to you immediately that Halstead's site actually did report(in his words) "not good news" on Harris. Refer back to your own post, please. Yet you say we're asking questions that no one has an answer for? We were inquiring, that's all, once we saw that. I never created bad news on anything. Multiple posters on here often say "spill the beans" to others. Halliburton and Zion are good news, so is pursuing (we think) Conditt, Tucker, and maybe still Harris.
I get it, tho. Pay for the darn site. Problem solved.
I have a terrible time waiting two days for my Amazon orders to arrive, and now I have to wait over a year for this 2018-19 team!!!!
That would be a great class no doubt.
I still feel Harris should be the number one priority. The staff has put a lot of time into his recruitment and his style of play would fit perfectly in ISU's system (not to mention be fun for fans to watch in Hilton).
Harris is still my #1 want and would be disappointed to see him in another jersey. Not that Prohm wouldn't find another quality PG but we do lose D-Jax after this year and the pressure will be on to find PG to have with LW.
I want Harris more than anyone else at the moment. I think he will be a difference maker as not many will be able to stay in front of him when he drives, especially having to play him tightly because of his outside shot. Prohm is good at utilizing mismatches.
I'm probably mistaken but it seemed like when everyone was sure we'd get Harris, s lot of people were very concerned he was too short.
Still think that is a concern. He needs to get much stronger I think before he can really contribute in a major conference. And he also is still learning to be an all around PG as opposed to just a scoring one. If you look at other really good scoring short guys, they usually are pretty strong like Thomas, Mason. Harris probably weighs less than 150. That being said, I think he has a lot of upside because of his athleticism and speed and shooting ability. He could be a dynamic scorer.
Expecting Haliburton to play major contributing minutes as a freshman seems fairly optimistic. Tyler Harris is more ready as a player to play as a freshman thus the difference in ranking. Not a knock against Haliburton as I feel he will be a very good player once he refines his game just where each is in their current development from the highlights and games I have seen.
Tyrese is much more of a combo guard at this point where Tyler is a true PG. Also Tyler's 3 pt shot is ready for the B12 which is something that would help the offensive spacing.
I don't think Prohm would take them exclusively, as they are very different in terms of style of play. But that being said, I have no idea what Prohm has planned for them, or how he has presented his case to each of them individually.
I disagree. One thing about Haliburton is his size allows him to contribute right away off the ball and he is a really good passer. Harris can only play PG and he is really a scoring guard that is a PG because of his height.
Also don't think they will need Haliburton to play major minutes. I think if he plays 8 minutes a game that would be fine. They will have Wigginton, Babb, Lewis, Shayok, Lard, Young, Jacobson and Talley all getting minutes. You really just need some spot minutes from Haliburton.
"Nothing has changed since June" never applies to recruiting in September and it doesn't apply here.
