4-star shooting guard includes LSU in his final 6

The Tigers made the cut for the top 50 prospect.

One of the top shooting guards in the country for the class of 2024, [autotag]Juke Harris[/autotag], has narrowed his decision down to six final schools, and the LSU Tigers made the cut.

LSU joins Miami, Kansas, Wake Forest, Tennessee and Virginia Tech on the list. According to On3, Wake Forest is a 32% favorite to land Harris.

The LSU Tigers are in their first season under new head coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag]. They got off to a great start, but things have come to a screeching halt recently as LSU has lost six games in a row and their offense has been abysmal during that stretch.

LSU scored only 56 points in three of those six games. Those numbers aren’t going to cut it when you are playing in one of the best conferences in college basketball.

With that being said, Harris sounds like just what the doctor ordered. He is the prescription for a struggling offense. You can plug him in on day one and he will produce points. McMahon will hope to bring him to Baton Rouge.
