billikenfan05 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Incredible how this went from a lowkey mention of “what’s Chris Harriman upto?” to “Chris Harriman to SLU a done deal.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I would hope Harriman could get through to Ford is the importance of having a good stretch big. slufan13 and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to act like he is Phil Jackson, but it is the kind of move that hopefully can get everyone working on the same page again. Hopefully it will really kickstart a resurgence in Australian recruiting where we should have a couple advantages outside of just Harriman and the former players in the NIL world. I really like this hire. billikenfan05 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The Australian NBL pays well and you can get to the NBA from there, we're seeing some top recruits going direct to NBL. So maybe that connection can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Cal has a big from Australia in the portal - 6-9, decent numbers. Zink, Fraz and JMM28 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this hire. I really like this hire based on two things: a long career as an assistant coach and just being a completely fresh face.

The only reason he is coming here is because no other schools wanted him. And BTW Fosters sucks too!! Just kidding. I think this is a great fit. It’s just really weird seeing the board completely agree with something so I wanted to change it up. That said I’m serious about Fosters. It’s not very good. gabriel, brianstl, JettFlight5 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSLU68 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I did not think we could afford Chris Harriman with what 10 more years experience. SLU had great players and returned Lisch, Conklin, and Jordair Jet to the Aussies- i am on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Cal's starting senior point guard, with one year of eligibility left, is also in the portal and is "undecided." Could be a good bridge to Medley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I like Harriman. SLU needs to put the resources in to be able to successfully recruit Australia / NZ for his hire to really make sense / be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniceMenace Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 From his bio on the Cal basketball site: Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander named Harriman one of the “Top 5 Up-and-Coming Division I Assistants” on CBS Sports, with Norlander writing, “Few guys have the international networking and contacts like Harriman. He’s the long-term valuable hire, the guy who finds the gem buried under 20 feet of mud.” Additionally, national basketball insider Jeff Goodman named Harriman one of the top three international recruiters in Division I college basketball. cgeldmacher, BuiltFordBills and Fraz like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Does Harriman recruit Europe or just Australia/NZ? He hasn't recruited a player from down under who has averaged double digits since Loe/Ellis. The teams he's been with has had a few good euro players, but wasn't sure if he recruited them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
