But the future of UT basketball also got some good news.
Earlier in the day, the future of Vol hoops received great news in their own regard. Three of Tennessee’s signees in the 2020 class were nominated for the 2020 McDonald’s All-American Game (https://www.mcdonaldsallamerican.com/content/dam/aag/2020_McDAAG_Nominees_List.pdf), which will be held on April 1st at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Five-star guard Jaden Springer, five-star guard Keon Johnson, and four-star forward Corey Walker Jr. were three of 900 men’s and women’s high school basketball players to make the cut. Springer and Walker were two of 19 players from state of Florida nominated, while Johnson was one of four nominees from the state of Tennessee.
Finalized rosters will be announced by the end of the month.
