Georgia native ranked No. 100 recruit nationally by ESPN
LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Basketball coach Bob Marlin added to an already solid 2020-21 recruiting class on Tuesday when he announced the addition of four-star recruit Ty Harper signed a National Letter of Intent during the Early Signing Period.
Â
Harper, a 6-foot-4 combo guard, was rated as the No. 6 overall recruit in the state of California and the No. 100-rated overall recruit nationally by ESPN. The native of Norcross, Ga., who was the No. 22-rated shooting guard in the country, joined Carencro's Joe Charles as signees for the 2020-21 season.
Â
"We are excited about the addition of Ty Harper to the Ragin' Cajuns Basketball family," Marlin said. "His ability to affect winning in multiple ways will help our team. He is a humble guy who works extremely hard and has an intense passion for improvement. His speed and athleticism allow him to get downhill quickly and put pressure on the defense."
Â
Harper, who averaged 15.5 points per game as a senior, helped Santa Clarita (Calif.) Christian to a 24-6 record, the 2020 CIF-Southern Sectional Division 2AA title and a No. 28 national ranking by Max Preps. Harper was named the Division 2AA Player of the Year and was a first-team All-Southern California and All-Area selection.
Â
"Ty has done a tremendous job becoming a player who can score at all three levels," Marlin added. "His shot is a weapon that doesn't allow defenders to back off. We believe Ty will fit our style of play perfectly."
