Marvin Harrison Question...

[Louie&Bouie]

Can any of you experts tell me what Marvin Harrison's recruiting profile was coming out of Roman Catholic? I have a bet with a friend as to how highly (or not) he was ranked/viewed by the recruiting experts of the time.

Thanks!

If I recall correctly he was classified as Athlete Position and was one of the top athletes in his class (top 3 or 4). Four star level ... Maybe Five

He was a big time recruit.

Bob Cassullo tells the story of sitting in his car outside Marvin's home watching all of the high profile coaches such as Joe Paterno filing in for their visits.

He sat there smiling because he knew Harrison was coming to Syracuse University.

and all his high school mentors (admins, teachers, coaches) wanted him to go to ND

No.4 rated Athlete when he signed with us.

I have no idea who you are talking about.

Beat out Penn State, Miami, and ND. 3 bigtime heavyweights at the time. It was a bit of a coup. We were good back then, but not in the category of either of those 3.

I'm sorry, i assumed he meant his profile coming out of philly now, not when he was being recruited.

See kids, this is what happens when you don't read a post thoroughly and just jump into a thread.

At least I now know how you all feel when called out...
