Notre Dame Makes Top 9 For Elite Basketball Prospect

This would be a huge get for the Irish…

Micha Shrewsberry and the Notre Dame men’s basketball team might not be dancing this March but that doesn’t mean the team didn’t have a successful 2023-24 campaign.  Despite finishing the year 13-20 overall and 7-13 in ACC play the Irish made significant strides compared to a 2022-23 season that saw them go just 4-19 over their final 23 games.

Notre Dame received good news on the recruiting front on Friday as well as big-time in-state prospect Jalen Haralson of La Lumiere in LaPorte, Indiana announced his top-nine schools and included the Irish.

Haralson ranks as a five-star prospect and the 11th overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports.  The Irish have a seat at the table but will have to beat out some blue blood programs to win his commitment as Auburn, Indiana, Duke, Kansas, Purdue, Michigan State, Missouri and Gonzaga also made the cut.

Haralson checks in at 6-6, 210-pounds and figures to play as a guard or small forward in college.

Badgers MBB offer five-star combo guard from Indiana

Wisconsin men’s basketball offered Jalen Haralson, a five-star class of 2025 combo guard from Fishers, Indiana on Monday.

Wisconsin men’s basketball offered Jalen Haralson, a five-star combo guard from Fishers, Indiana on Monday. The 6-foot-7 athlete is a sophomore at Fishers High School and the top ranked recruit in his state, 10th overall for the class of 2025.

Haralson figures to be one of the most highly sought after players in the next year plus and he’s already received 12 Division 1 offers, including Indiana and seven other Big Ten schools.

Greg Gard and his staff likely have no shot here with Haralson, but it is a welcomed sight to see Wisconsin going after a five-star athlete. With the success of Indiana native Connor Essegian in 2022-2023, maybe they can convince Haralson to join the Badgers.

Auburn basketball offers towering 2025 combo guard

The Indiana prospect has received five offers in total.

The recruiting grind never stops, and the Auburn Tigers are already looking to make their mark on the 2025 class.

[autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] and his squad offered combo guard Jalen Haralson on Friday, according to his Twitter. Haralson, a native of Fishers, Indiana, stands at a massive 6’7″ for a player of his position, so he could be a unique asset for any team that wins his favor should his shooting talent transition well into college.

Haralson has five offers thus far, with Auburn being the most recent of the bunch. The Tigers are one of two out-of-state schools to offer him, with the other being the Maryland Terrapins — Purdue, Indiana and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) are all the in-state teams that have offered Haralson as well.

This is the Tigers’ sixth offer in the 2025 class according to On3. Haralson is the second guard the Tigers have offered, and none of their 2025 offers are from the state of Alabama as it stands.
