Harangody, who averaged 23.5 points and 12.3 boards per game this season after missing the second half of last year with a stress fracture in his back, already has an invite to the Nike All-American Camp.

Harangody says that playing time will be a factor, he is listing Indiana, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue (offer) and Northwestern (offer).

Have we offered and it is just not beside his name or have we not offered.

 

[wadc45]

it does not appear that we have offered at this point. one thing I read that I liked about Harangody is that he has drawn comparisons to Wisconsin's Mike Wilkinson...

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Rivals and Scout does not list an offer at this point. :(

Rivals and Scout does not list an offer at this point. :(

In some ways this could be b/c they are tyring for someone else and I am sure they are keeping in contact with Luke and letting him know what is going on. If not he would not still have an interest in tOSU.

Luke had an outstanding junior season and will be playing for the SYF players traveling team on the summer circuit. Its my opinion that he will become a rising prospect on the summer circuit. I hope we offer this kid.

&A With Luke Harangody
By Bucknuts.com Staff
Date: Apr 6, 2005

Luke Harangody of Merrillville, Indiana (Andrean HS) ranks as one of the top big men in the Midwest. Harangody has his eye on OSU, and Kyle Lamb had a chance to talk with him recently to find out more about his interest level in the Buckeyes.

Luke expresses a desire to stay close to home, he will be playing AAU ball and has been working on his strength. A major factor for him will be if he is comfortable at a school. Ohio State will be visiting his school in the near future. Ohio State is recruiting him as a power forward. Luke really likes Matta and the university.



He is considering Ohio State, Purdue, Northwestern, Notre Dame.

 

[wadc45]

I think if we offer we have a real shot at Luke. My only problem is that we are already bringing in Bell at the four...I would love to get a true center in the late signing period.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I feel the same way Wadc...but the problem is their are not that many quality big men that Matta and Co are willing to sign in the late period.

I believe Luke is going to be a big time prospect when the summer is over, I am not concerned about what position he is projected at, just get him on the floor.
