On Tuesday, with the transfer cycle mostly behind us, On3 revealed their latest 2024-25 top 25 college basketball rankings and the Tennessee Vols are right about where you'd expect them to be.
On3's James Fletcher III has Tennessee as the No. 15 team in the nation entering the summer months.
Alabama is at No. 1 in On3's top 25, thanks mostly to the return of Mark Sears and Jarin Stevenson.
Tennessee lost a significant amount of talent from last year's squad. Dalton Knecht, Santiago Vescovi, and Josiah-Jordan James each exhausted their eligibility. Tobe Awaka and Jonas Aidoo left the program via the transfer portal.
The Vols, however, reloaded via the portal, adding Hofstra transfer Darlinstone Dubar, Ohio State transfer Felix Okpara, Charlotte transfer Igor Milicic, and North Florida transfer Chaz Lanier.
On3 projects that Dubar, Lanier, and Okpara will join Zakai Zeigler and Jahmai Mashack as starters for the Vols next winter.
Tennessee has some quality depth and they did an excellent job in the transfer portal. The only thing that remains to be seen is how this team gels. If they can quickly mesh, this Vols team has the potential to make another deep NCAA Tournament run.
