Four-star guard Juke Harris commits to Wake Forest

Juke Harris, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, has committed to Wake Forest.

The 6-foot-6 junior out of Salisbury (N.C.) High ultimately chose the Demon Deacons over Tennessee and Virginia Tech. Kansas, Miami, LSU, Houston, and others also extended offers. He becomes Wake Forest’s second commitment of the class, joining three-star small forward Bryson Cokley.

Harris ranks as the No. 40 overall prospect in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3).

Harris on his commitment to Wake Forest

“I feel like (Wake Forest) can develop my game,” Harris said. “I built a great relationship with the coaching staff and the fans showed a lot of love.”

What type of player is Wake Forest getting in Juke Harris, in his own words?

“I can do everything but my main ability is to score the ball from all three levels,” he says.

Harris has a message for Wake fans.

“I’m coming to win.”

Scouting Report

“Juke Harris is a legitimate big guard. 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.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
