Tennessee basketball begins its run of fall visits this weekend with five-star point guard Miles Sadler arriving in Knoxville Thursday night for his weekend official visit, he told RTI.
Sadler is one of the top players in the 2026 recruiting cycle, ranking as a five-star recruit and the No. 25 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. He also ranks as the No. 3 point guard and the No. 3 player in the state of Arizona.
Tennessee offered Sadler back in May and he’s been one of the Vols’ top point guard targets on their board since. Sadler also has a fall official visit scheduled to Oklahoma and boasts offers from Syracuse, Kansas, Iowa, Mississippi State, Michigan State and others.

The Vols have yet to land a commit in their 2026 recruiting cycle but their recruiting board is starting to come into frame with a number of fall official visits scheduled. Along with Sadler, Tennessee is recruiting five-star point guard Deron Rippey Jr. hard.
On the wing, the Vols are hosting a number of recruits on campus this fall including five-star Bryson Howard, four-star Manny Green, four-star Bo Ogden and four-star Jasiah Jervis. Tennessee plans on hosting a pair of power forwards on visits— five-star Christian Collins and Cody Peck.
Tennessee is setting up for a massive recruiting weekend in late October when the Vols face Duke in an exhibition game at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center. Rippey, Howard, Jarvis, Collins and Peck are all visiting that weekend, making it a trio of five-star recruits and a pair of four-star recruits visiting the same weekend.
Vol hoops has four seniors on its 2025-26 roster but after signing a large prep class a season ago, the Vols likely won’t sign an abundance of prep prospects this cycle.
