Tennessee basketball: Are graduate transfers the way to recruit?

Within the next five years, we will no longer have one-and-dones playing college basketball. The NBA is looking to adjust their age limit for players entering the draft. Guys like R.J. Hampton and LeMelo Ball recently signed deals with overseas leagues to avoid the college game, maybe more to come.

That brings up the question, is finding graduate transfers one of the best ways to build a team?

Ideally, Tennessee basketball fans would take several Grant Williams or Admiral Schofield type of players.

Who wouldn’t?

Williams became the first player to earn back-to-back SEC honors in nearly twenty seasons.
