Harre begins his second season on the Clayton State men's basketball
coaching staff. No stranger to Laker
head coach Gordon Gibbons, Harre was previously a men’s assistant coach and recruiting
coordinator for one season at Seminole Community College in the Mid-Florida Junior
College League. During his short time at Clayton State, Harre has worked
with the Laker guards and perimeter players, and has rapidly developed
into a staunch recruiter.
The relationship between Harre and Gibbons goes way back to his prep
days in Florida. Harre was a standout under current Laker assistant
coach Brent Buchanan at Eau Gallie High School in Melbourne, Fla.
Gibbons then recruited and signed Harre at Florida Southern, where he was a part of two of the Moccasins’ most successful
seasons.
During that time frame, Harre helped lead Florida Southern to an
impressive 60-10 mark with consecutive Sunshine State Conference
Championships and two straight trips to the “Elite Eight” of the NCAA
Division II National Tournament. During his sophomore season, Florida
Southern went 32-2, was ranked No. 1 in the nation in Division II for
much of the season and advanced to the NCAA Division II “Elite Eight”.
Harre received his Associate’s Degree from Brevard Community College in
2001 and his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education from Central
Florida in 2005. During his time at Central Florida, Harre was an
assistant boys coach at Florida power Oviedo High School for two
seasons.
