Tennessee has a women’s basketball commitment for next season.

Kamera Harris, a 6-foot-3 post player from Dutchtown High in Hampton, Ga., announced on Twitter on Thursday night that she’s committed to the Lady Vols. Harris said that she will sign Wednesday during a ceremony at her school.

“I thought it was a good situation,” said Harris, noting Knoxville’s proximity to her home. “The girls are really nice. I love the coaching staff.”

Harris, who is rated a three-star prospect by ESPN, set a national single-game record for blocks in 2014 with 28 in a game.

“I feel I’m very skilled defensively,” she said.

Harris will visit campus on April 15-17. She made an unofficial visit to attend Tennessee’s final regular season home game against Georgia on Feb. 28. She also attended UT's SEC tournament game against Texas A&M last month in Jacksonville, Fla.

She conceded that her recruitment has been “very active” lately. She was mentioned in an ESPN.com story about the eight most wanted players of the spring signing period.

Harris said she made official visits to College of Charleston, Massachusetts, Oregon State and Grand Canyon.

Tennessee, which didn’t sign any players in the November signing period, wanted to add at least one player this spring.
