Harrison’s analysis sounds quite similar to Binjimen Victor’s. Only that Harrison is a better route runner at the same stage(I’m sure having an All Pro father helps with that). Here are both of their game breakdowns from HS:

Marvin Harrison Jr.’s commitment to Ohio State and the making of a recruiting pipeline
By Bill Landis 5h ago
PHILADELPHIA — This goes back more than a decade.
Ryan Day was a receivers coach first at Temple, and then at Boston College. Tim Roken was the quarterbacks and receivers coach at St. Joseph’s Prep working under new head coach Gabe Infante. Infante was looking to build the next national high school football powerhouse in an unlikely place, North Philly. Kyle McCord and Marvin Harrison Jr. were in elementary school.
Ohio State wasn’t involved in any of this yet, but the Buckeyes are reaping the benefits now.
Harrison Jr., a four-star receiver in the Class of 2021, committed to Ohio State on Thursday. He joins his Prep teammate and quarterback McCord in a Buckeye recruiting class that now features five top-100 national prospects and is ranked No. 4 in the country in the early stages. Right now the majority of that class is from Ohio. The commitments of McCord and now Harrison are further evidence that Day shouldn’t have any problem stepping outside of the program’s footprint to find elite players. It also doesn’t hurt that his program is taking these particular players from a neighboring state that houses its own Big Ten power.
And it goes beyond that. The commitments of McCord and Harrison could be the start of a long, fruitful relationship between Ohio State and another emerging high school that figures to have national recruits most years.
OSU has had relationships like that before, with schools like Glenville in Cleveland, St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Cass Tech in Detroit, to name a few. They come and go, and it might be too much to label them a pipeline because not every high-caliber player from those schools becomes a Buckeye. Well, except for Glenville, which sent all of its best players to Columbus for a decade. But it’s important for Ohio State to continue establishing footholds around the country at these kinds of high school programs. Over the past few cycles, we’ve seen OSU get in at places like Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Fla. — home of Shaun Wade, Tyreke Johnson and Marcus Crowley — and St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif. — home of Wyatt Davis, 2020 commit Kourt Williams and 2021 receiver target Beaux Collins.
If St. Joe’s Prep is the next program to join that list, you should know how far the roots of that relationship go.
