Auburn transfer Justin Powell commits to Tennessee

Auburn transfer Justin Powell will not be a Kentucky Wildcat. Instead, the former North Oldham star will head to Knoxville to play for Rick Barnes at Tennessee.

After entering the transfer portal back on March 9, Powell announced this morning that he will be committing to Tennessee.
