Top-prospect Harmon commits to Western Kentucky

Three years after Rick Stansbury gave Zion Harmon his first scholarship offer, the state’s highest-rated recruit is choosing Western Kentucky.

The Marshall County junior, whose smooth scoring and passing ability has garnered national recognition and made him the most sought-after prospect in Kentucky, announced his verbal commitment to Stansbury and the Hilltoppers on Tuesday as the first member of their Class of 2021.

Harmon will not reclassify to the Class of 2020, a source confirmed to the Daily News. WKU already has Collins guard Dayvion McKnight signed to the Class of 2020 and has a verbal commitment from Kylen Milton, a senior from Conway, Ark.
