Erich Harding brings size, rim protection and a high-upside feel to Marshall’s frontcourt
Harding is a developmental big whose value starts with length and shot-blocking; in 2025-26, he has produced 6.3 blocks per 100 possessions with a strong 57.9% true-shooting mark in limited minutes, while Marshall’s roster notes show he played 15 games and scored 25 points with 14 rebounds as a freshman. What makes him intriguing is the defensive disruption and efficient finishing potential, plus a compelling comeback narrative after a career-threatening injury overseas, which suggests resilience and toughness. He looks like a fit for teams that can invest in long-term rim protection and patience rather than immediate offense.
