CBS named Tennessee basketball Volunteers John Fulkerson and Yves Pons.
Evidence continues to pile up how loaded Tennessee basketball is beyond its top five recruiting class. The two five-star guards who made up that class are nowhere near the biggest headliners on this year’s team entering the 2020-2021 season.
The top 101 players ranked by CBS Sports writers for this year included two senior forwards on the team, returning leading scorer John Fulkerson and reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year Yves Pons.
