NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing Chris Harris Jr.’s final three

Former Texas A&M commit Chris Harris Jr. is down to his final three. Which NCAA Basketball schools are still in the recruiting race for the 2019 guard?

NCAA basketball recruiting is a nonstop process. Throughout every single year, coaching staffs around the nation are constantly on the lookout for their future talents and it is impossible to tell exactly where the next stars are. Recruiting rankings are, of course, always a great resource for determining who the brightest prospects might be, but there are several underrated players who turn into stars year after year. And while many 2019 recruits are already committed to their future school, Chris Harris Jr. is newly available and has narrowed his list to just three schools.

Originally a Texas A&M commit, Harris became one of the top available prospects after de-committing following the firing of head coach Billy Kennedy. Ranked at No. 137 in the class by 247Sports, the talented guard also checks in with strong size at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds. He already boasts a college-ready body and a well-rounded game that should allow him to put together a strong career.

He shoots the ball well from three, is a high-quality on-ball defender, and has very few skill holes. While competing in 21 contests for Houston Hoops on the EYBL circuit last summer, Harris put together averages of 14.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. He was not the most efficient scorer (.366/.326/.760) on the circuit, but it was clear that he can be a highly-effective collegiate player.

He is also down to just three schools: Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech.

Now, with these three programs all eager to finish off their 2019 recruiting classes, which one will be able to land this talented guard out of Garland, TX? Let’s take a quick dive into his potential fit at each of the three schools remaining on his list.
