The Tennessee roster is set to change in a big way this offseason, following the expected departures of Yves Pons, Jaden Springer and Keon Johnson. Davonte Gaines and Drew Pember freed up two more scholarships, and John Fulkerson could add another if he chooses to leave.
That leaves several spots for Rick Barnes to fill, even after signing five-star guard Kennedy Chandler and four-star guard Jahmai Mashack. We all figured Tennessee would end up adding at least one shooter and one big man from the transfer portal, and they’ve already knocked out one of those needs.
Auburn transfer Justin Powell committed to Tennessee over the weekend, giving the Volunteers some pop from three-point range.
