Dominick Harris – Temecula, CA

CG | 6-foot-4 | 170 lbs | No. 61 overall

Dominick Harris strikes me as one of the most underhyped players in the 2020 recruiting class. Although he is ranked at No. 61 in the class, it feels as though he is constantly overlooked as someone that could be an extremely impact multi-year contributor in Spokane. He committed all the way back in January 2018 and the fanbase has to be eager to get him on campus to start his career in the fall.

Harris is a rock-solid all-around prospect with the ability to fill many different roles on the court.  He is a true combo guard at 6-foot-4 and can either elect to fill it up with his three-level scoring or flash his court vision to create for others. Additionally, his size and lateral quickness make him a strong defender at either backcourt slot.

Harris is the type of player that should absolutely thrive under head coach Mark Few. He can not only make an impact right away but also continue to refine his game before becoming a national star as an upperclassman. Harris significantly improved over the course of his high school career and it is reasonable to expect a similar rate of development with the Gonzaga staff.

The Bulldogs have had massive levels of success with multi-year four-star talents and Harris fits that mold as well. It is hard to project an immediate role for Harris as a freshman considering Gonzaga’s loaded roster from top to bottom. Either way, though, he is a mature individual that works hard at his craft and will at the very least give his all in practice before stepping into the spotlight later in his career.
