Big East Basketball: Ranking the top 20 transfers for the 2024-2025 season
By John Makuch
19. Zion Harmon (Seton Hall)
Seton Hall needed guards this offseason, and guards are exactly what they went out and got. Zion Harmon was a highly ranked recruit coming out of high school and found himself at Bethunce Cookamn these past two seasons. He put up 14.6 points and 4.0 assists per game for that squad last season, and now heads to South Orange to play for Shaheen Holloway and this Pirate crew.
Efficiency-wise wise he is still looking for that consistency from the field and from three, but he was still able to pick up All-SWAC honors despite needing room to grow there. So when you go and play for a head coach like Shaheen Holloway where player development is his calling card, Harmon could find some newfound success with this program. He is a risky pickup with a high ceiling, but that is exactly what Seton Hall needs when it comes to this portal cycle.
When it comes to Harmon, he will be looked upon to help fill in the gaping hole that the departure of Kadary Richmond left behind. While that is much easier said than done, talent is no issue when it comes to the talent of Harmon, it is just about refining it and being consistent. Holloway will have his work cut out for him here, but those situations are where he thrives, but the adjustment from the SWAC to the Big East is a major jump for a developing player, so we will see how this goes for The Hall.
