Can anyone verify that Haliburton considered playing his college ball at Ohio University? Or was that just internet wishful thinking? Or was that just wishful thinking on my part?
Before the summer of his junior year he had two schools in mind, us and Northern Iowa, with UNI holding a slight edge. Coming out of Wisconsin, there was hopeful thinking that the BVP connection to Wisconsin would provide an extra jolt for recruiting. Bobcat Love mentioned something about when we brought him in for a visit, the game he attended was one of the early season November games (maybe even an exhibition but I can't confirm that) and it was very poorly attended. Basically, not the game you want to bring in a recruit for. I might be confusing that with Desmond Bane, but I've got a foggy memory.
It ended up not mattering anyway. He absolutely blew up that summer of his junior year and the major conference offers came rolling in. Ohio didn't stand a chance.
