Zakai Zeigler, irreplaceable??

@PabloCong

With Tennessee actively searching for a lead guard for next season, all eyes are on Chance Mallory as their top target. However, if the Vols miss out on Mallory, could Dedan Thomas emerge as a legitimate option? Having just entered the transfer portal, Thomas is an intriguing prospect who could fill Tennessee’s backcourt needs. An elite passer with exceptional court vision, he commands the offense with poise and leadership. His quickness and basketball IQ make him an ideal candidate for Rick Barnes to mold into a strong defender, adding even more value to his potential fit in Knoxville.

@KevinCook

Expect the Vols to be a serious contender for Lincoln Memorial transfer forward Elyjah Freeman. He’s one of the top prospects in the portal so far. UK and others are in full pursuit.

Scouting analyst @MikeGrib has been following Freeman for a while, is very high on him. Mike was the first to tip me off o to watch out for UT involvement…looks like it will be real.

@KevinCook

2025 point guard out of John Marshall High in Richmond, VA has decommitted from Fordham. The Vols are very interested. There’s a visit being planned.
