The 6-foot-6 guard had a fantastic spring and summer and continues to build upon his body of work heading into the winter.

IN HIS OWN WORDS
Programs recruiting him the hardest: “Houston, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, those are the main ones.”
Houston: “They just make me feel like I’m the main guy that they’re after in 2024. They always make sure to text and call me to make sure I’m alright, see how I’m doing in school, and just have normal conversations. It doesn’t always have to be basketball talk with them.”
Tennessee: “Coach Rod (Clark) and coach (Justin) Gainey always call and check up on me. FaceTime, calls, all of that. They let me know that I’m the main guy that they want at Tennessee in 2024. It doesn’t always have to be basketball with them, either, we talk about school, grades, and workouts, too.”
Virginia: “They just came to watch me work out on Thursday, so I feel like I’m important to them. I think there’s only three players in 2024 with a Virginia offer, so I feel like me receiving an offer, that they believe in me and believe in what I can do. I feel like I’m important to them.”
Virginia Tech: “They also came out to watch me on Thursday. I feel like we’re starting to make a good bond. Coach (Christian) Webster calls me and makes sure I’m alright, always checking up on me.”
Wake Forest: “I recently took an unofficial visit up there a few weeks ago. The head coach, coach (Steve) Forbes makes sure that he always checks up on me and let’s me know that I’m one of the main guys that they want. He also came to the workout on Thursday.”
Visits: “I’ll officially be visiting Houston on Oct. 8, and officially be visiting Tennessee on Oct. 14.”

RIVALS REACTION
Harris’ all-around play on both ends of the floor is why he will be making a very substantial leap in the upcoming rankings and why a lot of Power Five programs are in hot pursuit. He can score the ball in a variety of ways, has a very solid frame, and projects as a very solid defender at the next level. His craftiness and shot making ability make him a top priority for a lot of schools in the 2024 class.
