Tennessee basketball is almost back — thank goodness for that. After a down season in 2019-20, Rick Barnes has a squad that’s shaping up to be one of his best ever so far at Tennessee.
They’re going to have a little bit of a different feel from the Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield teams of 2017 and 2018, with a couple of elite prospects — Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer — entering the fold this season. They’ll join veterans Yves Pons, John Fulkerson, E.J. Anosike and Victor Bailey Jr.
