Notre Dame basketball's leading scorer enters transfer portal

[ASFN Admin]

Notre Dame didn't have a lot going for them this season, finishing 4-14 in ACC conference play. One of their only bright spots was freshman Jalen Haralson, who averaged over 16 points per game.

Rather than return to South Bend for a second campaign, Haralson appears determined to move on. He's entered the transfer portal and is expected to garner significant interest.

It'll be interesting to see if Indiana and Michigan State double back on Haralson, as they were finalists during his initial recruitment coming out of high school.

When he committed to Notre Dame, Haralson expressed excitement for playing under Fighting Irish head coach Micah Shrewsberry, who had successfully developed players similar in size.

One area of improvement to keep an eye on for Haralson in the years to come will be his long-range shooting. He shot 20 percent from three-point distance as a freshman at Notre Dame.
