Tennessee Lands VCU Guard Terrence Hill Jr. in Portal Win Over Kansas

The elite shooter arrives to anchor the Vols' portal-driven push for more scoring.

Overview

  • Hill committed Sunday, then Tennessee's Monday school release quoted Rick Barnes saying he will make an "immediate, significant impact."
  • He led VCU at 15.0 points per game and shot 37% from three, capped by 34 points and seven threes in an NCAA Tournament upset of North Carolina.
  • The 6-foot-3 guard visited Kansas and Tennessee during the transfer window before choosing the Vols over the Jayhawks.
  • He joins a rebuild heavy on guards and wings that already includes transfers Tyler Lundblade, Dai Dai Ames, Miles Rubin and Jalen Haralson.
  • Reporting from On3 and others says Tennessee plans major NIL spending near $10 million to lure top portal talent.
