To nobody’s surprise, Tennessee basketball is losing freshman guard Jaden Springer. After one year on Rocky Top, the 2020 6’4″ 204-pound five-star recruit out of Charlotte, N.C. announced on Twitter that he will enter the NBA Draft and has signed with an agent.
As one of three guards who were once five-star recruits on the 2020-2021 Vols, two of whom were freshmen, Springer was the best offensive player on the team, leading everybody in scoring at 12.
