Tennessee Basketball held a summer practice on Thursday morning in Knoxville as the Volunteers’ new-look roster begins to mesh together in the early stages of the offseason.
There are new Volunteers all over the court, with eight new transfer players and four new high school prospects. Sophomore forward DeWayne Brown II and sophomore guard Troy Henderson are the only returning players on the court for the Vols, and Henderson is still out while recovering from offseason surgery himself.
