squeaked in at 24. Think if we can get some impact transfers, could definitely move up to top 20. Here's his write up:
Key returnees: Santiago Vescovi, 6-3 Sr.; Josiah-Jordan James, 6-6 Sr.; Olivier Nkamhoua, 6-8 Sr.; Uros Plavsic, 7-0 Sr.; Brandon-Huntley Hatfield, 6-10 Soph.
Incoming: B.J. Edwards, 6-3 Fr.
Chandler is a virtual lock to go in the first round, so he’s likely to leave. Vescovi and James are likely to test the waters, but if they come back that means the Volunteers will only lose one starter from the SEC tourney champs. Edwards is a four-star guard from Knoxville, but he’s the only high school signee as of now, so Rick Barnes will have to have a good run in the portal to keep Tennessee in the SEC race.
