Last week, five-star guard Jalen Haralson committed to Notre Dame over Indiana and Michigan State. One of those basketball programs finished with a losing record three times in the past four years. Another has a coach who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame eight years ago.

It’s unlikely that anyone was happier with Jalen Haralson' s commitment to Notre Dame than Micah Shrewsberry. It showed that he can get the job done when it comes to recruiting, and there’s no greater evidence of that than Haralson being the highest-rated Irish commit since the internet began ranking recruits in 2000.

About the only thing Haralson did not do at the highest level in his who years at Fishers was shoot the 3-pointer. He was just 12-for-46 as a sophomore. But Haralson, who transferred to La Lumiere prior to his junior season, shot it well enough from everywhere else that a jump in his 3-point shooting from the arc seemed likely.

Following a program-altering week in which the Irish secured commitments from three 2025 recruits, Micah Shrewsberry and his staff landed big man Tommy Ahneman.
