Tennessee's Juke Harris makes promise fans should be excited about this upcoming season

Barnes was able to win Harris over by being straightforward with him and clearly explaining what areas of his game still need improvement.

“Another thing that he did that separated himself from everybody else is he came in and told me how good I was, but he also got on me about some stuff they can see that I need to work on. ... I feel like I'll be more of a complete player going into Tennessee next year,” Harris said.

The star transfer is excited to join the Vols and continue preparing himself for the 2027 NBA Draft. He also made a promise to Tennessee fans, saying the atmosphere next season is going to be electric.

“So I’m super ready to come play in front of you guys, and it’s going to be a big show,” Harris promised.

There is no doubt the confidence is there for Harris, who seems genuinely excited to become part of the Tennessee program. Expectations will be extremely high for both Harris and the Volunteers, but it is safe to say the former Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball standout is ready for the challenge.

Harris was reportedly on the verge of becoming a first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft, but he instead chose to give Rocky Top everything he has before fully pursuing his professional dream. With his recent comments, Harris has already created major excitement throughout the Tennessee fanbase.
