Jalen Haralson’s decision to eliminate Purdue from his list of potential schools isn’t particularly surprising, especially after he canceled his official visit to West Lafayette at the last minute. This cancellation hinted that head coach Matt Painter and his staff were unlikely to secure the five-star talent.
Ranked as the No. 14 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, Haralson is widely regarded as the top player from Indiana. Standing at 6-foot-6, he began his basketball journey at Fishers High School before transferring to La Lumiere in LaPorte, where he has truly flourished.
During his freshman year, Haralson averaged an impressive 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. He took his game to another level in his sophomore season, posting averages of 23.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per contest.
As it stands, Purdue has yet to secure any commitments for the 2025 class, although they did bring in a highly regarded five-man recruiting class for 2024. With Haralson now focusing on Indiana, Michigan State, and Notre Dame, the competition for his commitment is heating up, and fans are eagerly awaiting his announcement!
