Quote:It was only an October moment, but a promising one.
Georgia State’s Ryan Harrow blew by his man with a stutter-step followed by a cross-over dribble to his left hand. He switched the ball back to his right and held it in the air for a split-second before flipping it into the corner. Manny Atkins caught it chest-high and sunk a 3-pointer against Shorter on Monday at the Sports Arena in the first exhibition game of the season.

It was exactly the type of play that many expected to see when Harrow, who played at Walton High, was cleared by the NCAA to play for the Panthers this year after transferring from Kentucky.

Harrow finished with 17 points, six rebounds and five assists to lead Georgia State past Shorter, 90-60. Harrow’s mother, father, best friend and others came to watch.

“It was nice to be back home,” Harrow said.
