Compton ranks as a four-star recruit and the No. 110 player in the country and No. 7 player in Arizona according to the 247sports composite rankings. On3 is higher on Compton, ranking him as the No. 79 player and No. 11 power forward in the country.
Tennessee basketball is still looking for its first commitment in its 2024 recruiting class. The Vols are hosting four-star combo guard Bishop Boswell for an official visit the same weekend as Compton as they re-examine their recruiting board headed into the fall.
The Vols have three seniors on the current roster— Santiago Vescovi, Josiah-Jordan James and Dalton Knecht— giving the Vols at least three scholarships available ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Freddie Dilione is an underclassmen NBA Draft candidate and transfers have become a mainstay in college basketball so the Vols will likely have more than three new scholarships available. They can use that them on both prep prospects and transfers.
