Four-star guard Juke Harris sets commitment date
Juke Harris, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, will announce his college decision on March 24th.
The 6-foot-6 junior out of Salisbury (N.C.) High is choosing between six schools: Miami, LSU, Kansas, Wake Forest, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech.
He has visited three of the six schools officially: Wake Forest, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech.
Harris ranks as the No. 41 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3).
Harris breaks down his finalists
In a previous interview with On3, Harris discussed each of his final six schools.
Kansas: “I feel like I can fit in their program really well. We are still planning at date for me to visit soon.”
Tennessee: “I’ve got to watch Tennessee play in person and I can see myself playing under coach (Rick) Barnes. They have nice facilities and a great coaching staff.”
LSU: “Also planning on going up there for a visit to see the campus and get the feel of the area and the team.”
Miami: “I’ve watch multiple games on TV and can see how I can fit in the program. Also sitting up a visit.”
Wake Forest: “I’ve been to many games in person. I know my game will not be limited and I can show what I can do every game.”
Virginia Tech: “I’ve been to a game in person once and I enjoyed it. Coach (Christian) Webster has been to multiple of my games and coach (Mike) Young makes sure he reaches out to after my games and after theirs.”
Scouting Report
“Juke Harris is a legitimate big guard,” On3’s Jamie Shaw writes. “He is at least 6-foot-5, with long arms and broad shoulders, giving him a projectable frame moving forward. Harris is comfortable on the ball, handling and creating in the half-court. He is also a smooth shooter, with confidence from beyond the arc. We would like to see him elevate his release point on his jumper, especially off the catch, but the form and release are good with this minor tweak. Harris is a good athlete, but he is not super bursty. His IQ and feel allow him to get to his spots off the bounce. He is a good team defender and understands angles and footwork on that end of the floor. With his frame and natural skill set, there is a pretty high ceiling for what he could continue to grow into.”
