The transfer portal closes on Tuesday night as we move to the second portion of the offseason with teams looking to finish up their rosters ahead of next season.
Tennessee has already done most of the heavy lifting to this point. The Vols have already landed five players in the portal including VCU combo guard Terrence Hill Jr, Cal combo guard Dai Dai Ames, Belmont guard Tyler Lundblade, Notre Dame wing Jalen Haralson and Loyola (Chicago) center Miles Rubin.
Hill is coming off a standout sophomore year at VCU where he averaged 15 points, 2.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-3 guard is a talented and efficient scorer, shooting 46.6% from the field and made 81 three-pointers at a 37% clip last season.
Haralson committed to the Vols earlier last week over North Carolina and Ohio State. Haralson is coming off a strong freshman season where he averaged 16.2 points, four rebounds and 2.6 assists per game at Notre Dame last season.
Rubin committed to Tennessee over Syracuse and Marquette after averaging 11.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.3 assists per game in his junior season.
Ames committed to Tennessee over Xavier, Kansas and Ole Miss. Ames averaged 16.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and two steals per game. The 6-foot-2 guard was an efficient scorer, shooting 46.4% from the field, 37.6% from three-point range and 85% from the foul line.
Lundblade committed to Tennessee over Illinois, Kansas State, Baylor and Virginia after earning MVC Player of the Year honors last season. He averaged 15.6 points while making 112 three-pointers at a 40.9% clip.
Tennessee has the bulk of its transfer class done but continues to pursue star Wake Forest wing Juke Harris and is looking to add at least one more big man to its roster ahead of next season.
