Ty Harper

Just saw a Tweet that Harper has signed with us. All I know is he is a 6'3" long athletic guard. Tweet said ESPN rated him No. 100 in this class. Will try to do more research.

From what I can tell, he is originally from Georgia but playing in California now. He may be playing at a Prep school this year out West. Tweet from Jeff Goodman says his final eight were Cal, Grand Canyon, Nevada, New Mexico, USC, Washington State, and Virginia Tech.

Article linked below speaks highly of him.

A 6-foot-3 combo guard, Harper is ranked as a 4-star recruit by many recruiting services, and listed as the 100th-best senior in the country by ESPN.

Interesting. One article above has him as a 3 star and the other article has him as a 4 star. Equally as interesting is that he has eligibility for either 2020 or 2021. Wonder which it will be?

Judging from first glance with above articles, this could well be the best non-big Marlin has signed. His skill set, per the article, could launch him to SBC MVP and the Cajuns to some NCAA wins. But now, I need to put down the crack pipe...

I think he is at a prep school right now, probably why it is showing 2020 vs 2021. He finished HS and was eligible to play in 2020, but chose to go to prep school first and that is why he will be eligible in 2021 instead. Also probably why he has two different ratings as well.

Actually just noticed he is a 4 star on ESPN, but a 3 star on 247sports.com. That is the difference, but I believe I am accurate about the prep school thing.

Wow...congrats to Marlin and staff...now let’s do something with him and build!

From what I can tell, he graduated from HS in 2020. He is playing at a Prep School in California now. Assuming Covid is under control and things are somewhat back to normal, I expect him to enroll here for the summer semester in 2021.
