D'Angelo Harrison - SG - Dulles High School - Fort Bend, TX - ST. JOHN'S

Quote from: peter on October 12, 2010, 08:12:02 AM

Marillac - you've seen D'Angelo? Scottie Reynolds is a big comparison - can Harrison draw fouls? He always looks skinny, and I didn't know he was physical.  Love his shooting ability.

And Jevon Thomas needs some video publicity, for sure.

It would be awesome to get him (especially over Marquette and Baylor). My fingers are crossed.

I've read that he Harrison is known to draw fouls whenever he decides to attack the basket.  Remember, players have to respect his jumper and it allows him to go to the basket when need to. 

Hopefully, we're able to nab Harrison on Thursday. 

By the way, you forgot about Oklahoma State, peter.

I think I like to forget about Oklahoma State in general.

A recruiting insider with close knowledge of Harrison’s recruitment tells NBE today that the battle for the #21 player in the Class of 2011 is a “dog fight” with four programs aggressively pursuing the 6-foot-3 scoring machine.

“Oklahoma State [is making a] strong push of late,” the source tells NBE today, “Baylor is local appeal [and] Marquette has been involved the longest.”

The fourth school involvled is St. John’s who has new head coach Steve Lavin in Texas today to make an in-home visit with Harrison in hoping to sway another blue-chip prospect in his efforts to revitalize the SJU program.

According to NBE’s source, St. John’s has a “strong chance” in this recruiting battle and are selling Harrison and the people close to him a comprehensive list of advantages in coming to New York City for his college career. These advantages include playing in the Big Apple with Madison Square Garden as the home court in the Big East, coach Lavin’s track record of putting players in the NBA and a staff with three former NBA assistants working under the new Red Storm head coach.

Would have posted on Redmen as well, but for some reason I can't post!  Moose, have I been banned for some reason?  (I don't think so.)

What type of error message are you getting?

After just being on the OSU message board, and sifting through all their bickering about nonsense.  It seems that the home crowd thinks Harrison is a lock to go there.  Their main point of emphasis was that OSU was going after J. Hinds and Harrison as their two main guard recruits.  According to the posters, OSU canceled their in-house visit with Hinds and that later he stated it was because OSU already landed another guard.

The other guard being Harison. 

This could just be the home faithful rallying for Harrison, however in the begining of the day a few of the posters said he was going to SJU.  The begining of my post was put on the OSU website about 20 minutes ago.

Just thought I would see what you guys thought.

Judging by the Rivals OSU members they are certifiably nuts.

I don't think anyone knows what Harrison is doing except Harrison.

Per - Antonio Curro = @ny2lasports 

2011 SG Deangelo Harrison of Dulles H.S. (TX) is expected to commit to St. Johns on Thursday.

I sure hope he's right.

Anybody know how legit/credible that guy is?

F yea!

We know Baylor is in trouble w the NCAA, and seriously, who in their right mind chooses to go to college in Oklahoma when Steve Lavin wants you to come to
NY and be a star.

He's coming here. It makes too much sense.

The OK State boards are wondering why the hell anybody would choose St. John's over their precious university.    They're also pulling these alleged quotes from Harrison himself, talking about when he was on campus saying "I want to see where I'm gonna be living," and rating their visit a 10/10.

Got to admit though, I'm very weary of this report. This kid hasn't leaked like ANYTHING yet.

If he was going to go to Ok State, wouldn't he just as well stay in Texas and go to UT or TT.

Ok State can offer wide open spaces in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention a pretty lousy education.

I've actually seen Curro, unlike Rothstein, at tournaments.
He's based out of Wisconsin and his specialty is the Midwest. Clark Francis used to rely on him and, perhaps, still does. He's got a good eye.

From his perspective, his close friend and teammate, Nash, is looking heavily at OSU.

The last time I was in Stillwater, which is really remote, they had a tornado in the middle of the night, but the students were welcoming and friendly-unlike the OU dimwits.

hes going to sju everyone chill

I want D'Angelo over any other prospect we're going after right now....although I'll take Pelle and Garrett too  ....From reading this thread and scouring all over twitter looking for any information I have a feeling he's coming here.

is he absolutely announcing at 5pm on espnu tonight?
