Kate Harpring previously flaunted her Adidas kicks
Kate Harpring continues to shine both on and off the court. On Wednesday, the standout guard from Marist School in Georgia flaunted her new cream-colored Adidas mesh sneakers, hinting at the NIL deal.
On the court, Harpring led the Southeast All-Stars 17U to a perfect 4-0 record in Session 2 of the Adidas 3SSB Circuit in Texas. She averaged 19.0 points and 3.5 assists per game and ranked in the top five in both categories.
Her high school stats are equally impressive. She averaged 32.2 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 3.7 apg, 5.1 spgand 1.2 bpg during her junior year. Her performance earned her Georgia's Gatorade Player of the Year honors.
She has offers from major programs like Iowa and Georgia Tech; however, Harpring has yet to make a decision.
