Tennessee basketball lands at No. 11 in ESPN’s way-too-early Top 25

The college basketball season, in some shape or form, is currently set for a November 25th open. Whenever that happens, the Tennessee Volunteers will be a consensus top 15 team.

Rick Barnes went through a transitional year in 2019-20, losing Grant Williams, Jordan Bone and Admiral Schofield in the previous year. Without obvious answers to replace that production, along with a season-ending injury to Lamonte Turner, it was a bumpy ride for the Volunteers. However, in the process of all that, Tennessee was able to develop John Fulkerson, Yves Pons and Santiago Vescovi.
