Add Jalen Haralson to the long list of big-time recruits Michigan State basketball fell just short of landing.

Add Jalen Haralson to the long list of big-time recruits Michigan State basketball fell just short of landing.

Five-star shooting guard Jalen Haralson announced his college decision on Wednesday evening, and it was unfortunately not Michigan State. Haralson committed to Notre Dame over the Spartans and Indiana.

Haralson ranks as the No. 2 small forward and No. 13 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2025 class. He’s from La Porte, Ind. and is ranked as the No. 1 player from Indiana.

Michigan State was considered in the thick of it for Haralson up until the final minutes. However, it sounds like he was always leaning towards the Fighting Irish and that’s who won his commitment in the end.
