Harrow To Georgia State

[gametime]

I know and have a lot of respect for Georgia St coach Ron Hunter. Plus his son RJ can flat out play and will be a sophomore next year. Should be a very good situation for Harrow...

“I really need to be home with him to be closer to him to make sure he’s taken care of,” Harrow said. He said his father is a basketball fan who can’t travel to watch him play. Being in Atlanta would enable Harrow to make sure his father is cared for, and would give his father a few chances to watch his son play.

 

Harrow, 6-2, would provide coach Ron Hunter’s team an immediate starter in the backcourt, either at point guard or shooting guard. He averaged 9.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists for the Wildcats this year.

 

Devonta White, Georgia State’s point guard, is entering his senior year. He can also play shooting guard. David Travers, a freshman who played the point last year, announced earlier in March that he is leaving the program.

 

Harrow said he will miss Kentucky and has nothing but positive thoughts about the school and program. He said he just needed to return home to help take care of his father, who lives in College Park.

 

“I got better there,” he said. “I built some relationships there. I know next year we would have been really good. It was just real important for me to be with my dad. With him being sick like this, I needed to be there with him.”

I stand corrected then. Sort of. Can't keep up.

Wish him nothing but the best. You could tell something wasn't right with him this year. He is an emotional guy anyway, but no one is that emotional unless they're dealing with things off the court. In other circumstances I think it could have worked out.

Given the health of his dad, we fully support Ryan’s decision to transfer to Georgia State to be closer to his family in Atlanta. Ryan was a vital part of this year’s team and an important player in practice during our 2011-12 national championship run. I want to thank Ryan for his efforts and hard work and wish him the best of luck at Georgia State. I know the Big Blue Nation will keep a close eye on him and wish him well as he continues his basketball career and his pursuit of a college degree.

Good luck to the young man. Great decision on his part, and for all the right reasons.

Doesn't Curtis Washington go to Georgia St now?

Poor guy, explains a lot as to why he was struggling so much throughout the year. Has to be really hard being away from his family during all of this. Best of luck to him @ Georgia State.

That sucks. I know it is the nature of the game but you hate to see that.

 

This.

I hate to see him go, but want what is best for him and his family. Thanks for the memories Ryan and best of luck to you and your family.
