Harrison Niego Appreciation Thread

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Walk-On Harrison Niego is moving on as he is hoping to earn a D1 scholly at another school. I think this is a good decision by him as our guard situation is about to get crowded and competitive with scholarship players. Let's let him know we appreciated all his effort and hard work during his time as a Hoosier. He helped us get through all the injuries and gave us some valuable minutes. He is worthy of a separate appreciation thread!

Exactly what he should be doing. Exactly what Crean should be trying to do for preferred walk ons.

Wonder if this will become more of a trend. Hope he gets some good offers to go somewhere

I love his energy and enthusiasm in post game interviews, he really answered questions well.

Any mid major would be lucky to have him. I really like the kid and wish him the best.

Thanks Harrison for playing FOR Indiana! Praying you get some great scholarship offers!

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

Best of luck to him, and hope he does well. He got to walkon at IU and I hope that was a great life long experience for him. Hopefully, he'll get picked up by a team where he can get the schollie and the playing time. Best wishes Niego.

Good luck, Harrison.  Your time on the court may have been short, but your contribution was appreciated.  Clearly, you knew your role and executed to the best of your ability.  Thank you for wearing the candy stripes.

I agree.  Harrison will have a very positive influence on all the folks he comes in contact with through out the rest of his life.  I'm personally a little disappointed that he will not be wearing the candy stripes, yet stoked for what is ahead for this fine young gentleman.  Thanks for the spark that you have brought to this team Harrison!

His energy on D in the Iowa game in Assembly showed me how great of a player he is. Definitely played his heart out. Good for him, I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Anyone think this was the plan all along for him? It's a win-win for crean and niego. We didn't have a backup point guard and was insurance for crean and niego gets the exposure of a bluebood program and can test the waters when the season ends? Whatever the reason happy for niego as he should have no trouble finding a mid major school that wants him

I wish all the best for Harrison. He epitomizes what hard work and dedication does for a team. He will be fondly remembered as an integral  part of a great team.

[MadAboutIndiana 402]

Honestly, he contributed multiple times to the B1G title. Pretty cool for the young fella

Harrison Niego will be a tremendous success, both on and off the basketball court.

[yogisballin 2,288]

Wish you nothing but the best Niego!!! Was impressed with what you brought to this years squad, especially since just a walk-on. Hope someone gives him a shot. Kid deserves it

Harrison, I'm not gonna lie, when you lined up at the scorers table against Wisconsin, I was yelling at my TV that Crean was crazy. I doubt I'm alone either. You proved me wrong though, you rocked it and gave us your all. I will happily eat this crow because I'm proud to have you wear the candy stripes. Go get 'em Niego.

Best of luck, where ever you may find a new home.

You are a player that Hoosier fans will follow and root for in your new basketball home.

Your decision to become a Hoosier paid off in serious contributions to a Big Ten Championship season.

Thank you Harrison.

Sorry to see you go, Mr. N., but you deserve to play more and with RoJo, Blackmon, Jones, Newkirk, Green and Gelon (not to mention Morgan's work at the point and Troy possibly returning too) your playing time as a Hoosier would have required a lot of issues/injuries. So if you want playing time and a scholarship -- both of which you proved you deserved in your freshman year -- moving on makes sense. Hoosier Nation loved you when you were here, and we'll be cheering for you wherever you go (at least until we meet up with you in the NCAA Tournament).
