2024 Recruiting: Darren Harris, 6’6 SF

[Mr. French]

Looks like UConn is in the mix for another big time 2024 - hadn’t heard much on here about him.

Kinda looks like Michael Porter Jr. from the pic. I don’t know anything beyond his status as a recruit.

He’s not even a 5* anywhere. Jake loves adding extra stars

He’s just getting ahead of the Duke offer. When that comes, 5 Star immediately follows.

I’m thinking the same thing, the way these recruits are committing to Duke, Coach K may have been holding them back. I’m guessing the recruiting will suffer after a few years of the reality of this new coach sets in.

Ranked 45th currently, he will be top 15 in no time after that commitment

It's the NIL deals. Duke alums are throwing huge cash to make sure the program doesn't fall off a cliff, which could easily happen with an extremely young and unproven coach. Duke basketball is coach K. If the alums don't pay massive amount to the players, then Duke would be in serious jeopardy of becoming like many of the other small private D1 schools that are mostly bottom feeders. That won't happen due to NIL. Convenient timing for Duke.

Kinda like what they did with Willamson while Coach K was there before NIL was "legit"
