Kerry Blackshear Jr. is the top grad-transfer on the market right now and it’s not really close. Tennessee has gotten in the mix over the last week, looking to add Blackshear to their roster despite not having an open scholarship spot.
The 6-10, 250 pound power forward is a one-year program changer for some lucky team. Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Kentucky and Gonzaga have all been in the mix, now along with Tennessee.
Blackshear is interested enough to at least take a visit to Knoxville, which will happen this Friday. Why would he want to join a reloading Tennessee team?
