As Casey Harter’s offensive repertoire grew, so did the recruiting interest. Last month, she chose Northwestern because it is known as a defense-first program, and coach Joe McKeown prioritizes strong perimeter defenders in his recruiting efforts.
Lynn Carroll remembers watching Casey Harter match up against former Central Bucks West and now-Villanova guard Maddie Burke.
Harter grew up in a basketball family, and both her parents played the sport in college. Her father, Mark, played at Kutztown, and her mother, Angela, played at Cornell. Despite her parents’ history in the game, they did not push Harter toward the sport. Instead, Harter developed her own love of the game.
It was then, as a freshman looking to make an impact on the varsity team, that Harter committed to making defense her calling card. In the AAU season that followed, Harter had a breakout of sorts and started to add layers to her game on offense. The new twists were on full display this past season, when Harter started to score from the perimeter, something she hadn’t done much of as an underclassman.
Several factors played a part in Harter’s decision. She cited the family culture and her positive experience visiting the campus as big reasons. Another major reason: Northwestern is known as a defense-first program, and coach Joe McKeown prioritizes strong perimeter defenders in his recruiting efforts.
