On Wednesday, September 25, La Lumiere guard Jalen Haralson, class of 2025, will announce his college decision.
The announcement is expected at 7 p.m. ET via CBSSports HQ and the 247Sports YouTube channel.
The essentials
Guard/Wing, 6-7, 205 pounds, La Lumiere, Spiece Indy Heat
247Sports Composite: 5 stars (13); 247Sport: 5 stars (14); One3: 4 stars (25); On3 Industry Ranking: 5 stars (13); ESPN: 5 stars (10); Rivals: 4-Stars (17)
The candidates
Haralson will choose between Indiana, Michigan State and Notre Dame. He officially visited all three schools in the fall. The visit to Indiana was followed by Notre Dame and Michigan State.
His original list of finalists also included Auburn, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Missouri and Purdue.
The timing
Haralson’s recruiting process was lengthy. He was considered a five-star talent nationally throughout high school and has been on the team since his freshman year.
After visiting IU, Notre Dame and Michigan State, he canceled planned trips to Kansas, Missouri and Purdue and became involved in the decision-making process.
His last visit to Michigan State was just under two weeks ago, so Haralson had time to discuss the visits with his family and make a decision.
Predictions
Neither the 247Sports Crystal Ball nor the Rivals Future Cast have any predictions saved for Haralson.
According to recruiting prediction engine On3, which uses machine learning to forecast college selection, Indiana is the favorite, followed by Notre Dame and Michigan State.
It is rare for a decision to be kept so secret just hours before it takes effect, but Haralson and his family have remained silent since early Wednesday morning.
