The Tennessee Volunteers are making serious moves in the transfer portal, and all signs point to them landing their top target: Juke Harris. After weeks of intense recruiting, the Vols have emerged as the clear frontrunner for the talented guard, and a decision could be coming soon.

Head coach Rick Barnes and his staff have been relentless in their pursuit of Harris, who entered the portal after a standout season at Wake Forest. According to On3's Chris Low, the momentum is firmly in Tennessee's favor. "You never say never, but all my intel says that this week, Juke Harris will pull the trigger and come to Tennessee," Low reported. "I know his mom is a big fan of the program, and a big fan of Rick Barnes. Tennessee was right there in it when he went out of high school."

For a while, the Michigan Wolverines looked like the biggest threat to derail Tennessee's plans. Harris even visited Ann Arbor after entering the portal, and 247Sports' Travis Branham noted it was shaping up to be a "fight to the finish" between the two programs. "They (Michigan) are very much in the hunt for Juke Harris," Branham said. "That one is evolving pretty quickly. As of this morning, it's now sounding like his decision will likely come down to Michigan and Tennessee."

But the tide has turned dramatically. Recent reports indicate that Michigan is no longer in the picture. On Friday, Maize & Blue Review publisher Josh Henschke confirmed that the Wolverines have "been informed they're out of the running" for Harris. That leaves Tennessee as the clear leader, with Harris also weighing the option of staying in the NBA draft.

For Vols fans, this is a massive development. Harris is widely regarded as the top player in the transfer portal this cycle by On3, and his addition would be a game-changer for a Tennessee team looking to make a deep postseason run. With a decision expected this week, all eyes are on Knoxville as the Volunteers look to secure their biggest offseason win yet.
