(South Bend, IN) - One of the top high school basketball players in the country, who plays right here in La Porte County, has announced that next year he’s taking his talents to South Bend.
Jalen Haralson is a five-star recruit who plays at La Lumiere. He’s ranked as high as #7 among basketball recruits across the nation.
On Wednesday, the 6-7 wing player announced that he will be going to Notre Dame, choosing Micah Shrewsbury’s Irish squad over Indiana and Michigan State.
Haralson is the highest ranked player to commit to Notre Dame in many years. He’ll join former La Lumiere standout Kebba Njie, who is a junior forward for the Irish.
Haralson's addition completes a trifecta for Shrewsbury's recruiting efforts. Earlier in the week, Notre Dame secured the commitment of top-100 player Brady Koehler of Indianapolis Cathedral. On Friday top-100 recruit Ryder Frost of Massachusetts also committed to the Irish.
