Tennessee is currently working to make the Elite Eight, but the second their NCAA tournament run ends, the transfer portal run will begin. The portal officially opened this week, and those still playing are at a bit of a disadvantage to start.
The groundwork is still being laid to hit the portal once the season ends though, especially with so much turnover about to happen on the Tennessee roster. One of the first reported names that the Volunteers have been in contact with is Jalen Jackson, a transferring guard from Purdue Fort Wayne.
Tennessee joins a long list of suitors for Jackson.
