Hubert Davis, Kelvin Sampson among the coaches who've been in to see Isiah Harwell this season

Basketball season is in full effect. Typically, the recruiting process for high school recruits begins to slow a bit during this time. This is because of the hectic schedule from both parties (players and coaches) — multiple games a week, leading to it being more difficult to find time during the midst of the season.

However, several head coaches and assistants in college basketball make it their mission to visit their top recruits. This helps further build a relationship, continues the scouting process, and shows the player that they are a priority for that school.

I’ve decided to do a mini series in which I ask several of the nation’s top 2025 prospects which coaches have been in to see them this season. This includes coming to their respective high school to visit in between classes, for games, and practices.

Next up is Five-Star Plus+ Isiah Harwell, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah. The Pocatello, Idaho native is ranked as the No. 7 overall recruit in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the nation’s No. 3 shooting guard guard.

5 coaches have been in to see Harwell this season

Isiah Harwell told On3 the following coaches have visited him this season:

• North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis
• Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson
• Cal head coach Mark Madsen
• Texas assistant coach Brandon Chappell
• Miami assistant coach DJ Irving

Scouting Report

“Isiah Harwell is a complete shooting guard prospect. At 6-foot-5, he has good length and a strong lower body. Harwell plays at a great pace, he does not play rushed and seems to make great decisions with the ball in his hands. Harwell has good burst when attacking the basket, getting on the rim in the half-court. Solid handle, frame, skill, and IQ, there is a lot to like about the five-star. The shooting guard has deep range and confidence to score it when given space. His dad, Ron Harwell, averaged 14.5 a game at Idaho State in the mid-90s.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

Harwell’s On3 NIL Valuation worth $200K+

Isiah Harwell currently holds a $216,000 On3 NIL Valuation, which ranks 32nd in high school basketball.

The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

About On3 NIL Valuation, Brand Value, Roster Value

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.

The On3 NIL Valuation accounts for an athlete’s roster value and brand value. Roster value is the value an athlete has by being a member of his or her team at his or her school, which factors into the role of NIL collectives. Brand value factors in an athlete’s personal brand and the value it could bring to regional and national brands outside of the scope of NIL collectives.
