Less than a week after losing out on Kerry Blackshear, news continues to get worse for Tennessee basketball when it comes to the inside game for 2019-2020. A guy who figured to be a key part of the Vols’ system next year could be headed elsewhere.
DJ Burns, who redshirted this past year, is set to enter the transfer portal, according to Grant Ramey of GoVols247. Burns was a four-star forward from South Carolina in the Vols’ 2018 recruiting class.
A product of York Preparatory School in Rock Hill, S.C., Burns is listed at 6’9″ 272 pounds.
