D'Angelo Damon Harrison (born August 8, 1993) is an American basketball player who plays for Muratbey Uşak Sportif in the Turkish Basketball League. He recently completed his college career for the St. John's Red Storm. Harrison is known as a prolific scorer and marksman, holding the St. John's record for career three pointers made.
Harrison attended Dulles High School in Sugar Land, Texas, where he was coached by Mike Carrabine. As a junior, he posted averages of 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game, earning Harrison 2009-10 Houston Chronicle Player of the Year and District MVP honors. As a senior, he averaged 31.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game. He was named Fort Bend Player of the Year and was an all-state selection. According to Yahoo, Harrison was ranked 10th for his position and 40th nationally as a high school senior.
Harrison was a Big East All-Rookie selection in his freshman year. Harrison is known as a prolific scorer and marksman, holding the St. John's record for three pointers made in a career.
Harrison scored a career-high 36 points, including six three-pointers, in an overtime loss to Villanova on January 2, 2013. He hit two free throws at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. In his sophomore campaign, he averaged 17.8 points per game, good for third in the Big East. However, on March 1, he was suspended for the rest of the season by coach Steve Lavin. Lavin gave Harrison the option of transferring, turning pro, or reforming and remaining at St. John's; Harrison chose the third option. In the offseason, he attended a camp led by former NBA player John Lucas aiming to work on anger management issues. While there, he met and befriended former Rutgers coach Mike Rice. The two drove to practices together and seeing how Rice, who allegedly said homophobic comments to players, worked on his own issues gave Harrison a new perspective on life.
