The state of Washington’s No. 1 overall recruit in the 2026 class (65th in the nation, per Rivals) has named Gonzaga in his final four college basketball choices. 6-8 forward Ethan Harris was reportedly set to visit Spokane this past weekend, from August 29th to 31st, but moved it to September 9th. The Camas product will be deciding between the likes of the Zags, Washington, Boise State, and Iowa.
Four-star Harris will first be visiting Seattle this weekend from September 5th to 7th. He took trips to Iowa City on July 28th and Boise on June 23rd.
Primarily playing the power forward position, Harris brings size along with an exemplary jumper that forces defenders out to the perimeter. He makes his largest impact on the defensive end, getting in the passing lanes out on the wing and being physically efficient on the glass.
With Select AAU Basketball out of Idaho this summer, he averaged 9.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.3 steals. Harris was named to the Honorable Mention Team and All-Defensive Team on the Puma Pro 16 Circuit.
Rivals’ Jaime Shaw previously reported that one source told him that “they would have a hard time seeing him (Ethan Harris) not at Gonzaga/Washington ultimately if those programs pushed.”
“They liked that even when I’m missing shots, I didn’t let that affect my game. I know they have a very rich history in winning… I’m on vacation right now, but they said that we will talk about an official visit when I get back.” – Ethan Harris on Gonzaga via On3
