The moment everyone has been waiting for this off-season is for Wake Forest transfer Juke Harris to officially announce his commitment, and we are one step closer to that.
Tennessee has been fighting hard all offseason. There was a point in time when Michigan was the leader, with the NBA and North Carolina always looming around with blue blood money. It has been a wild recruitment. However, the latest update should give Tennessee fans some major hope about landing Juke Harris.

Pete Nakos predicts Juke Harris to Tennessee
As it stands, Tennessee has the No. 4 transfer class in the nation, and adding a star like Juke Harris would push them even higher. With additions like Dai Dai Ames, Terrence Hill Jr., and Jalen Haralson, the Vols have completely reshaped the roster identity under Rick Barnes.
If Tennessee can pull this off, it would be the best offseason in program history by far. They would have landed nearly every top target and put themselves in position to compete for a national championship next spring. They already have a championship-level roster, but if you add Harris to the mix, then it takes the Vols to a whole new level.
Tennessee is now one step closer to landing its top target; all Rick Barnes has to do is close the deal. Goi get it done coach,
