Well, at least there’s more room for incoming five-star guard Josiah James in the rotation. But after just missing out on the Elite Eight, Tennessee basketball still had reason for excitement over next year even if they lost some talent.
There’s the off-chance that Grant Williams returns for his senior season. If he does, DJ Burns could theoretically replace Kyle Alexander. With enough development in the summer, Yves Pons could somewhat offset the loss of Admiral Schofield. And all three guards in the rotation could return.
Even if one left, it would be fine with the arrival of James.
