Lady Vols basketball has the task of completely rebuilding its roster. After Kim Caldwell’s second season, all eight potential returners have entered the transfer portal, and one of two incoming freshmen have requested a release from their signing.
Now, Tennessee is attacking the portal. So far, the result has been a quartet of incoming transfers. On Monday, UT landed its first with SEC experience, as well, in Zhen Craft from Georgia. A common theme is each has additional years of eligibility to use past this season. A year ago, the Lady Vols landed three transfers all entering their final year.
While there’s plenty more work to do and targets still on the board, here is the full breakdown of the current roster and what the Lady Vols are losing.
