Set to redshirt Harris will redshirt during the 2023-24 season, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports. Impact Harris participated in multiple preseason scrimmages with the Illini, but he did not appear in Illinois' season opener. Head coach Brad Underwood revealed after the game that Harris will redshirt this season. Underwood stressed that the move has been made for Harris' long-term development, emphasizing the young guard's skill, but also his need to put on necessary strength. Harris, who averaged 3.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals across 33 games during his freshman season (14.4 minutes per game), will look to come back stronger next season.
