Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer adjusting to Rick Barnes’ coaching style

Rick Barnes isn’t for everybody — he’d probably tell you that, too. However, his system is proven, just ask Grant Williams, Admiral Schofield, Jordan Bone, John Fulkerson and Yves Pons. If you buy in, the odds are in your favor to succeed.

His track record with three-star prospects like the ones list above is what makes this year so exciting. Barnes will welcome two elite guards to the program this year, each top 20 players in the 2020 class. Five-star guards Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer could take Tennessee to an entirely new level, set to join experienced leaders like Fulkerson and Pons.
