As expected, Tennessee added a point guard this afternoon, picking up a commitment from Zakai Zeigler. The New York native was a member of the 2022 class, but will reclassify to the class of 2021 and join the team immediately.
Zeigler was an unknown ahead of his breakout performance at Peach Jam, where he officially arrived on the recruiting scene. He poured in 22 points, adding 10 assists and shooting 7-8 from three-point range. Three members of the Tennessee staff were in attendance for that game, resulting in an offer from the Volunteers. Minnesota and Boston College quickly followed.
