Tennessee landed one of its highest commitments ever Wednesday when 2019 five-star Josiah James announced that he’s picked the Volunteers.
James chose the Vols over a final four that also included Duke, Michigan State (where his father played) and his home-state Clemson, the latter of which was expected by many to be his destination. The No. 14 recruit in the 2019 class visited Knoxville earlier this month and was at Clemson for an official visit last weekend. Earlier this week, he cancelled a planned Sept. 27 visit to Duke and announced that he would shortly make his decision.
