Among the dozens of players looking for an extra year of eligibility is Chaze Harris, a 6’6 guard from Cleveland, Ohio. After five years of playing at various levels of college basketball, Harris joined South Alabama at the D-I level. In his lone year there, he led the Jaguars with 19.2 ppg and 4.9 apg on 54% shooting from the field and earned Sun Belt Player of the Year honors.
Harris looks to benefit from that year, seeking one more season via the courts. If that goes in his favor, the 6’6 wing has a few programs in the mix to land him. Here’s a look at how he’d fit with each option.
After receiving his injunction on Friday, South Alabama transfer Chaze Harris is hearing from the following schools:

SMU Mustangs
The Mustangs lost all of their lead guards from last season. Among the new batch of guards are Rowan Brumbaugh (19.2 ppg at Tulane) and David Terrell Jr., who averaged 13.5 ppg at North Texas. Offensively, Harris would have a legit shot at having a key role in the backcourt, although his lack of shooting would be an issue at the two-spot, assuming UConn transfer Jaylin Stewart is a lock to start on the wings.
Seton Hall Pirates
Scoring was an issue for Seton Hall last season, and it ranked last in most Big East offensive categories. To Coach Shaheen Holloway’s credit, he and the Pirates did land several notable perimeter players in the offseason. They include Del Jones (17.2 ppg at Radford), Rodney Brown Jr. (14 ppg at LMU), and Kareem Thomas (15.9 ppg at Dartmouth). Harris would compete for minutes, but the Pirates would welcome another offensive talent who could be a rotation piece.
Washington Huskies
Washington also has a revamped backcourt heading into next season. They do return Wesley Yates (12.7 ppg), while adding Parker Friedrichsen (10.8 ppg at Davidson), LeJuan Watts (11.8 ppg at Texas Tech) and Steele Venters, a former Big Sky POY who struggled at Gonzaga last season. It’s a roster without a ton of proven offense, so Harris would be a welcome addition to the team and likely find a way to the starting lineup to help them be more competitive in the Big Ten.
