Rick Barnes explains Brandon Huntley-Hatfield’s decision to reclassify

Tennessee has continued to do some serious damage on the recruiting trail as of late, coming up with another big offseason despite a disappointing 2020-21 season. Rick Barnes landed five-star point guard Kennedy Chandler, while adding the reclassifying five-star power forward Brandon Huntley-Hatfield to the frontcourt.

In total, Tennessee has landed yet another top five recruiting class, and the Volunteers once again have the talent to make a deep run in March. It’s possible that this roster construction is a little more balanced than last year’s group, and part of the reason why is Huntley-Hatfield.

The 6-9, 230 pound prospect is going to bring some strength back to the Tennessee post, along with some offense.
