Four-star Juke Harris recaps official visit to Tennessee

In the last six months, Juke Harris exploded on the scene. Unranked when he finished his high school season, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard is now the 2024 On3 150 No. 21 player. Harris took his official visit to Knoxville, Tennessee, this past weekend and took in the Tennessee football team’s thrilling victory over Alabama.

“The most memorable part of the visit was when we all rushed the field after the game,” Harris told On3. “So many Tennessee fans were saying my name and stopping their celebration to tell me they wanted me to commit. That made me feel super welcomed.”

Harris averaged 23.1 points and led his Salisbury (NC) High team to the third round of the state playoffs last season. While the game was memorable, there was more to the visit for him.

“Their practice facility and locker room were great,” Harris said. “Their practice facility to super big, and the locker room is really nice.”

Tennessee was the second official visit for the four-star. His first was to Houston last weekend. Harris says he is in the process of setting up more visits and intends to use all five of his junior-year officials.

“I’m setting up official visits with Virginia, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech during the basketball season,” Harris said.

Harris 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.
