The Tennessee Volunteers are going to be very good this season, but are faced with filling a couple of big roles in the frontcourt after the 2020-21 campaign. John Fulkerson, Yves Pons and E.J. Anosike are all seniors, each playing their final seasons in Knoxville.
Unless they aren’t.
The NCAA ruled last week that they would be freezing eligibility for this winter sports year, following the ruling they made for fall sports. This means that no basketball player will lose a season of eligibility in 2020-21, opening the door for those three seniors to return in 2021-22 if they would like.
