Terrence Hill Jr. - Commits to Tennessee Hill (thumb) has committed to Tennessee, according to Ryan Schumpert of RockyTopInsider.com.
Impact Even though VCU primarily used Hill as a backup during their season together, he took advantage of being the Rams' sixth man to somehow score 15.0 points and 2.3 three-pointers per game. He brings additional guard experience to a Tennessee team that also landed Dai Dai Ames. So while it looks like Hill will remain a reserve next season, he can operate in the same VCU role for an even bigger program.

Jalen Haralson - Heading to Knoxville Haralson has committed to Tennessee, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Haralson will join the Volunteers for his sophomore campaign after a big freshman year at Notre Dame this past season. In the 2025-26 season, the 6-foot-7 combo guard averaged 16.2 points and four rebounds per game across 27 showings. He's primed to be a big piece and starter candidate for Tennessee this upcoming year.
APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE
Miles Rubin - Commits to Tennessee Rubin has committed to Tennessee, according to Ryan Schumpert of RockyTopInsider.com.
Impact Except for DeWayne Brown of Tennessee's latest roster, all its centers and forward-centers either entered the transfer portal or maximized their collegiate eligibility. UT's assistant coach Amorrow Morgan is partly how Loyola-Chicago signed Rubin. For the 2025-26 Atlantic Conference's regular season, his 18 games feature 10.8 points and 7.4 rebounds averaged. Now that Rubin is proven, a center-needing Tennessee will sign him.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Dai Dai Ames - Commits to Vols Aimes is transferring to Tennessee, Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.
Impact Ames announced earlier in the week that he was hitting the portal as well as testing the NBA Draft waters. The 6-2 junior quickly made up his mind and figures to slot in as the Vols new starting point guard with Ja'Kobi Gillespie no longer having eligibility.
