Five-star recruit Jalen Haralson has committed to Notre Dame, marking a significant win for head coach Micah Shrewsberry and elevating the program's recruiting momentum. Haralson, ranked as the No. 10 player nationally, chose the Fighting Irish over Indiana and Michigan State, making him the highest-ranked recruit in Notre Dame's history. His decision followed official visits to all three schools, with strong relationships formed with the Notre Dame coaching staff, particularly with Indiana prep AAU coach Ryan Owens. Haralson's commitment coincides with another recent in-state pledge, Brady Koehler, indicating a focus on local talent. Haralson had previously showcased his skills on the USA U17 national team, contributing to their gold medal victory at the World Cup. His recruitment reflects a growing trend of Notre Dame competing effectively against traditional powerhouses in college basketball.
