Harper 27...

He used to drill 3's at will in HS. What I was surprised at early in the year was his athleticism getting to the hole. I knew once it clicked for him and he started hitting 3s he was going to explode. Having a dad who played in the NBA teaching\pushing you is a huge benefit.

GREAT GAME RON!
 
His confidence has grown significantly during the course of the year. Played a great game. Not crazy about him bring the ball up against the pressure and won't need to next year.

Harper seems to have more loft on his 3 point shots. They are not like the line drive threes from earlier this year.

The good thing is Harper can shoot it and drive... that's a nice combination.

After a summer in the new Practice Facility and weight room.......watch out.

Exactly why I was so excited for him. I thought he was going to be more of a one dimensional 3 point shooter but when I saw how good the rest of his game was I was even more excited for how good he was going to be once the 3 ball came around

Could have easily had two more buckets on drives. One when he barely touched the end line and one on a bad offensive foul call.

He definitely out a touch more arc on his 3 ball. He is the DUDE!
 
Really good in the open court as well. He can Shoot it, Drive it and run in the open court. Love that skill set. AND, he works hard in defense.

Another guy some folks on this board wrote off after like 2 games saying he was out of shape and needed to redshirt this season. Congratulations to Harper and the entire team!
 
Man I loved how he slowed up just a bit on the break so he could get the defender to commit one way and take away his ability to set in time to draw a charge... then went around him
 
He’s only a freshman! His Dad says he’ll grow to 6’10”. Sky is the limit!

Could you imagine a jacked 6'10" RHJ? :eyes:

At least one guy admits it. I saw Ron more than 10 times in high school and he made first team All State last year. I always said he would help us. Many guys said he had baby fat, he was too slow and should be red shirted. Those guys should all be eating crow. I love our freshman and our entire team.
 
BALLER. I have a theory but, I think he got a lot stronger over the summer/beginning of season, which messed up his shot. Now he is pulling from NBA range and banging with ease. I knew this kid was gonna be good

He is a great addition to the team. Streaky for sure, but plays fearlessly. As he develops, he will be a tough matchup because he can hit outside and can drive.
 
It’s easy to say Ron is going to be a big contributor at RU after tonight, but there is something about this kid that makes me think he will be a big time player at the national level. Looking forward to the next 3 years! Congrats Ron!

Wut!?!? Hes our second best ball handler to geo
 
Down side is if he grows to 6’10”, we might only have him for another year.
Just a dumb uninformed comment. If a player in OD good, they dont leave a p5 program. Like ever

He has a Paul Pierce type game. Very smooth, high bball iq, uses his body very well but not overly explosive or quick. If he can shoot like he did tonight he's gonna be a stud. He's also a very good ball handler.
