NC State Point Guard Blake Harris Granted Immediate Eligibility

News broke this afternoon that Sophomore NC State point guard Blake Harris’ (6’3″/190) waiver for immediate eligibility has been granted by the NCAA.

Harris received his release from Missouri on January 5th, after playing 14 games for the Tigers. He averaged 3.8 points and 3.1 assists in 13.9 minutes per game. Harris was a 4-star recruit in the 2017 recruiting class. ESPN ranked him as the #99 overall player in the class, and the #3 player in the state of North Carolina, playing for Word of God Academy right down the road from NC State.

It didn’t take long for Harris to figure out what school he wanted to transfer to. He wanted to come home.

On January 10th, Harris committed to NC State, enrolling immediately for the second semester, and was with the Wolfpack on the bench for the remainder of the season.

It was originally expected that Harris would join NC State midway through the 2018-19 Men’s Basketball season, so today’s news is a welcome surprise.

Harris is a talented floor general, that also possesses some height at the point guard position.

“I’m excited for Blake that he has an opportunity to join our team immediately,” Keatts said. “I’m very appreciative of our compliance staff for working diligently with Blake on the waiver and thankful to the NCAA for approving it.” (GoPack)
