Jeff Harshman enters his first year with Scotland
Campus Sports with an unparalleled level of expertise as a coach, recruiter,
player development director, and coordinator of top-shelf events. A member of
the Bowie State Hall of Fame as an assistant men’s basketball coach, Harshman
was instrumental in helping the program flee obscurity and garner national
visibility.
Under Luke D’Alessio and Harshman, Bowie State cracked
the nation’s top-10, won a South Atlantic Regional Championship, and consistently
pulled off recruiting coups that featured unheralded, under-the-radar talent
which thrived on a national level.
During Harshman’s time on staff under D’Alessio, Bowie
State underwent a significant transformation that forever altered the perception
(and the culture) of the once floundering program.
A prominent figure in the basketball hotbed of
Baltimore, Harshman has spearheaded the Charm City Basketball National AAU and
High School tournaments for 17+ years. Harshman has molded a variety of talent
on the professional, collegiate, and prep level via The Next Level Basketball
Training Group.
Like head coach Chris Chaney, he of the three Maryland state
championships and three prep national championships, Harshman brings considerable credibility from the nearby Maryland/D.C. area.
With proven,
decorated experience and an advanced skill-set as a teacher, coach, and local
Baltimore basketball pioneer, Scotland Campus Sports brought in Harshman to
establish a consistent winning culture.
Given the program’s goal for national prominence this season
and a rapidly increased strength of schedule following the inaugural season, Chaney
and staff have lofty expectations for Harshman and his program-building acumen.
