2024 Four-Star Juke Harris sets official visit to Wake Forest

Juke Harris, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, will take an official visit to Wake Forest on the weekend of January 21st.

The 6-foot-6 prospect out of Salisbury (NC) High will has also set an official visit to Virginia Tech on February 4th. Harris has also taken official visits to Tennessee and Houston and an unofficial to NC State.

Harris ranks as the No. 31 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3). On3’s evaluators are even higher on him, ranking him 21st overall in the class.

In a previous interview with On3, Harris discussed his game and the Demon Deacons.

“I feel I’ve developed in scoring around the rim,” Harris said. “Also, I’ve been really working on my pull-up shooting, from three and in the mid-range. I watch a lot of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. They both know how to hit tough shots, and they have a creative handle to be able to get to those shots.”

Wake Forest: “Coach (Steve) Forbes has been by a couple of times already. He texts me on the daily, checking in. He thinks I fit perfectly in their system and with what they do.”

Scouting Summary

“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.”
