John Harrar Penn State

[JD1976]

In transfer portal and Pitt is said to have made contact. He’s really turned himself into a solid big man and and went toe to toe with Cockburn and the many solid interior players in the Big Ten for the last few years despite giving away some height. He would be an immediate upgrade especially defensively.

Better than any Pitt C since McGhee (besides Adams and Zanna).

Really need DJ Gordon to enter the portal.

Myron Jones and Jamari Wheeler also in the portal so the mass exodus at PSU has begun. Both of those guys will garner major interest, especially Jones. Nothing on DJ Gordon that I have seen.

Also Isaiah brockington and Trent buttrick

The Penn State transfer situation is going to be very similar to what happened here when Stallings was fired and all of his players entered the portal. Some might end up withdrawing and returning to Penn State, but it seems likely that most of the guys who have already entered have new schools lined up. They’ve had months to work this out.

I'd take Harrar's muscle on this Pitt team in a heartbeat.

 

[CougarClaws]

He can play Center right?

He can play Center right?

He’s exclusively a center. Isn’t the longest guy in the world, but he’s a big time strength and effort guy. He more than held his own against the big ol’ burly trees in the Big Ten...he’d bully a lot of the leaner springy fives in the ACC.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

He reminds me of Gary McGhee. I’d absolutely take him. I cannot stand PS, but found myself rooting for him because of his effort.

You watched PSU hoops? You must either really love basketball, or really hate it.

He led the Big Ten in offensive rebounding. Think he could help Pitt?

Not the longest indeed...He would be 6'2" with a normal sized neck....

no relation I take it?

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Izzo already reached out to Harrar.

 

[Chescat]

I watched this guy a number
of times this year. We have nobody
like him. He's a tough customer
inside and knows how to play
physically. He would easily start
and keep ACC bigs from constantly
beating up on our bigs. We'd be
lucky to land him. He and another
big would be great. I like Coulibaly
but he's a backup in this league. If
they develop Amadason into a viable
player I'll be surprised. We need a
transfer big who can start immediately.
Harrar would be a great get.

Good as this would be, all it would really
do is get us on par with other ACC teams.
They all currently have bigs. They all are
looking at transfers and will undoubtedly
land some of them. We have to do even
better just to get even. We're well behind
the eight ball at the moment.

Capel couldn't convince Carr, Stewart, and Luther to stay. His first recruiting "misses."

Why in the world would those 3 want to stay after what transpired during the Stallings era?

Why would anyone want to stay at Penn State? People play for the Coach, that's it.

8-24 and 0-18
There was a massive black cloud and some of the players felt the wrath. 2 different scenarios.

No one cares about WVU.

 

[New York Panther]

Saw Harrar play a couple of times, and he could definitely help us.

?????????what does Harrar have to do with Wvu.

Harrar LOVES Penn State. He was just really upset about the way Chambers was fired.

 

[HailToPitt725]

Any chance we land him?

I thought I saw he decided to return to Penn State.

Well, I’d say the chances aren’t great then!
