Rick Barnes breaks down five-star wing Julian Phillips

Tennessee picked up a huge commitment last week, landing five-star wing Julian Phillips. Now it’s official — he has signed with the Volunteers and is set to join the team for the 2022-23 season.

Phillips is the 12th ranked player in the 2022 class, per the 247Sports composite rankings. The 6-8, 200 pound prospect picked Tennessee over Auburn, Florida State, USC and an offer from the NBA G-League.

He now joins Tennessee, where he will be added to a veteran-filled rotation ready to go after another SEC crown.

“First of all, we love Julian and his family,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said.
