Utility guard: Chase Harler

A West Virginia native, Chase Harler, has a shot to get playing time and get Big 12 experience as a reserve guard this season. The 6’3″, 180 pound native of Wheeling, WV was the top rated player in the state.

Snagging home town talent like that is a big priority for any college coach.

Harler is reportedly tough and versatile, but needs to develop a more consistent style.

He also needs to get much stronger if he is going to suddenly play against guys from Texas and Florida. Harler is a nice project for the future, but somewhere around 7-10 minutes a night is all I will expect from him early.
