When Kyle Alexander was recruited by head coach Rick Barnes back in 2015, there was little known about the tall, skinny kid out of Milton, Ontario.
Alexander's commitment came with a bit of surprise. The 6'10" 200lb forward had only been playing basketball for about 2-1/2 years prior to his arrival at Tennessee. But basketball is in his DNA. Aside from his size, he is also the younger brother of Kayla Alexander, a center for the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces.
The power forward played sparingly in 32 of 34 games during his freshman year, averaging a little over 12 mpg, but still managed to finish second on the team in blocks with 31.
