I don't like the football and basketball combo however the track and basketball combo would be good.

Sure hope this kid decides track is going to be his better sport and winds up at ISU

If memory serves me, Kelyn was an All-State defensive back in high school and had a full ride to Missouri (among others) I do believe. Anyone who saw him against Oklahoma in the NCAA tourny back in 2001 would certainly agree that he had a football players toughness.

I think Harrington is the kind of kid that Lansing loves. Supreme athlete with toughness. Personally, I think he would be a star here.

Have to agree...is there any player in the Valley who could guard him end to end? I know With every team in the valley going to the "guards arm race" style of recruiting that with guys like Moore at Ilsu coming up in the valley that we could use every weapon in the back-court we can get...

Kid now has 4 football offers as well. From Kansas State, UNI (dad is a former player there), South and North Dakota. Also has a ton of track coaches beating down his door.

Maybe i am out of my mind, but isnt this the type of Mid-Major kid that can make it to the NBA? With that type of elite athleticism I am surprised no other BCS program is beating down his door

including Indiana State

Recent Rivals article said James would most likely just do one sport in college and that would be track.
