Another year, another five-star prospect breezing through Knoxville. There was a time last season where it looked like that wouldn’t be the case, but Rick Barnes and the staff capitalized on LSU’s firing of Will Wade to bring in Julian Phillips.

Phillips decommitted from LSU on March 18th and landed with Tennessee just two months later. The 6-8, 200 pound prospect does a little bit of everything on the floor and will likely man a wing spot for the Volunteers this season.

According to 247Sports, Phillips is the 13th ranked player in the class of 2022.
