A farewell to one of the greatest Wahoos.

Joe Harris walked onto the scene as a freshman in 2010 and became a starter.

He finished his career as the biggest piece to the puzzle of resurrecting Virginia's slumbering basketball program.

His career stats are notable -- more than 1,600 points and over 500 rebounds -- but they don't do justice telling the impact Joe Harris made in Charlottesville.

After having an incredible 570 point (45% 3-point) season in 2012-2013, Harris earned All-ACC first team honors, and entered the 2013-2014 on the Wooden watch list for national player of the year.

Harris didn't come close to the season he had the year before when measured by box scores and statistics.
He made the team better by allowing other players like Malcolm Brogdon and London Perrantes grow and carry a share of the workload.
Joe Harris broke his personal record for assists in a season at UVa in 2013-2014 and even played a decreased amount of time per game; a testament to the unselfishness he showed in Virginia's ACC Championship season.

Harris won't ever be compared to Virginia greats such as Ralph Sampson or Bryant Stith, Jeff Lamp or Buzzy Wilkinson, Curtis Staples or Wally Walker. But what Joe Harris did in his four years at the University deserves a place in history with all of those greats.

As the years pass, time may put Harris in the same class as recent Virginia stars Mustapha Farrakhan and Mike Scott. But Joe Harris holds a title that very few Cavaliers have; Architect of the Program.

In Harris' four years as a starting guard at UVa, the team's win percentage improved each season -- culminating in a 30-win season his senior year in which the Cavs won the ACC regular season title and ACC Tournament, and earned a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament while advancing to the Sweet Sixteen.
