Expectations have returned for Tennessee basketball after a mediocre 2019-20 season. Guards Jordan Bowden and Jalen Johnson were the only departures, pending an NBA decision from Yves Pons. Santiago Vescovi, Josiah-Jordan James and John Fulkerson are each back, along with several new pieces that could take Tennessee to the next level.
A top five recruiting class will bring in two five-star guards — Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer. Four-star forward Corey Walker Jr. joins them, along with transfers E.J. Anosike and Victor Bailey.
Just like that, Tennessee is loaded once again.
