Down to Purdue and Georgia Tech according to his Instagram story. Posted five hours ago. Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I was going to upload a screenshot but couldn’t figure out how.

4-star SG Gicarri Harris down to 2 schools
Gicarri Harris, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, has narrowed his list of schools down to two: Georgia Tech and Purdue.
Expect to make his decision in the next several days. Likes the former NBA player turn coach there in Tech and closer to family and friends. Purdue recruited him much longer and probably has better exposure. I wish we could throw in some NIL make this decision easier.
Yeah all comes down to if he wants to play where his dad did—arguably the best athlete Purdue has ever had and have great exposure to competing for conf championships, top 10 rankings and tourney, but maybe not play a ton right away or play right away but never really compete for conf championships or the tourney and for a coach that (while I loved watching) hasn’t proved he can develop players.4-star SG Gicarri Harris down to 2 schools

Being in Atlanta, Tech should be able to put together a sustainable basketball program, but they've been pretty consistently bad since they went to the Final Four with Jarrett Jack. Stoudemire could bring them back, especially with NIL money.
He'll obviously have a better chance to win at Purdue and Painter's rep as a coach is hard to beat.

Good to hear. He is exactly what this team needs to fill the Jones role next year. I'm sure the coaches are telling him that opportunity is there for the taking....
Sounds like the pull to be close to home is strong though. Can't fault him either way here.

He has the chance to be the focus for GT, he will fight for playing time at Purdue. It's a tough call with plusses and minuses each way. Would be a nice boost for Painter if we land him though. #8 class now, you would think top 3-5 with him. Would add amazing depth.
Can you imagine Smith, Loyer, Harris, Cox and Benter, at the 1-2 position until 2026! I see Benter and/or Cox redshirting.
Add Colvin, Waddell, Catchings, and Heide at 2-3-4 position until 2026!
Add Burgess, TKR at 4-5 until 2026!
Add Jacobson and Berg at the 5 until 2026!
Throw in Furst at the 4 until 2025.
The future looks bright! Young but talented team. Experienced too even though they will be young. I hope we get him, but he has a tough decision to make.

GT signed combo guard Jaeden Mustaf who’s the #5 guard and #39 player in the class so he’d compete with him for playing time at the same position. Not sure about any upperclassmen. The biggest draw to GT is its home and the coach with NBA resume and ties.
Would be great to have Colvin and Catchings until 2026…but (in a good way) I hope we don’t because they’d move on to bigger and better things. Selfishly, would love two years of them together, guessing we will get 1…
I think I saw it above, but who really leaves early from Purdue to play pro ball? Ivey and Glenn Robinson. Did I miss anyone else recently who left school early for the NBA?
I would love to bring in talent like Duke and Kentucky where people play 1-2 years and go pro but on the other hand that isn't our identity so I don't know that I really do.
It is not lost to me that I reference Big Dog in the above paragraph and now this thread is discussing his son in the same breath. That's how rare this situation is at Purdue, don't hold your breath.
Caleb Swanigan.
Unless everyone evaluating him/talking about him is wrong, Catchings is very likely to leave for the league in less than 4 years.
Colvins athleticism and shot making is ahead of Ivey in terms of comparing where they both were at in their freshman years at this point in the season. If Colvin makes a jump, like what usually happens from Frosh to soph, id expect him to be like Jaden and get drafted in the lottery. Catchings is Purdues 2ns highest recruit and is said to have tons of potential so id assume he’s done after no more than 2, if not 1. And usually Purdue doesn’t have these recruits but it’s looking like we might. Hope we can enjoy them and hope they do live up to that hype/expectations.
Yeah, you got me. Neither had much of an NBA career but Caleb left after 2 years and Carson after three. Still pretty rare at Purdue.
NIL money may change that though and make it less likely. Zach is a perfect example.
Disagree in Carsen's case. His 2019 tourney was legendary - even non boiler fans were in awe. His stock was scorching high following that run. If he'd stayed his sr year, and cooled off - might not have gotten his shot at the NBA.
100%. He had to try to go pro when he did.
Nope. Was said he wanted to announce before the start of his season….and that’s gone by haha. So he’s down to two…maybe in next few weeks? I’m not sure if anyone really knows at this point.
I'm on probation for unintentionally misleading some posters.....so I will not comment other than something something about the day after today........
It's a beautiful day......
