Jaraan V. Cornell (born November 22, 1976) is an American former collegiate basketball player at Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, Cornell attended Clay High School. Playing for head coach Tom DeBaets, he was a Third Team Parade All-American, finished third in voting for the Mr. Indiana Basketball Award and was a top 30 recruit during his Senior season. He averaged 21.8 points, 8.9 rebounds a 3.2 assists a game while leading the team in blocks with 24. He scored his high school career high with 36 points against city rivals Washington High. During his Sophomore season, he led the Colonials with 30 points and onto the 1994 State Championship against Valparaiso, a team led by the state's Mr. Basketball, Bryce Drew, who would later play at Valparaiso University and the NBA. In the state championship game, Cornell completed his team's stunning late-game comeback by swishing a game-tying three-pointer[1] as time expired from the top of the key. He was teamed with South Bend native and former NBA player, Lee Nailon.
Jaraan received a scholarship to attend Purdue University, where he played basketball for head coach Gene Keady and assistants Frank Kendrick and Bruce Weber. As a Freshman, he averaged 10.2 points a game and recorded a total of 46 steals. He shot 36.1 percent from beyond the arc, while shooting 50 percent or better in half of the 30 game in which he appeared in. Along with fellow Freshman Brian Cardinal and Juniors Chad Austin and Brad Miller, he led the Boilermakers to an NCAA Tournament appearance.
