Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Vols are reportedly battling the Kansas Jayhawks for a coveted transfer guard.
According to On3, VCU transfer guard Terrence Hill Jr. is scheduled to visit Tennessee.
Hill is also slated to visit Kansas.
“Terrence Hill Jr. led VCU to an upset win over North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament, scoring a game-high 34 points against the Tar Heels,” wrote On3’s Joe Tipton. “The 6-foot-3 sophomore is set to visit Kansas early next week and then is scheduled to make a trip to Tennessee on Wednesday. Both schools are building positive momentum with Hill. Any time a school gets a transfer on campus, you have to watch closely.”
Hill, 6-foot-3/180 pounds from Portland, OR, averaged 15 points per game last season while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.
The talented guard was unrated coming out of high school.
“Hill is an elite 3-point shooter and it’s arguably his greatest strength,” wrote 247Sports’ Michael Swain of the VCU transfer. “He shot 37% from 3 on incredibly high volume. He can both create his own shot from deep and knock down shots off the catch. Roughly 25% of his 3-point attempts were unassisted.”
Tennessee has added Loyola transfer center Miles Rubin, Belmont transfer guard Tyler Lundblade, and Cal transfer guard Dai Dai Ames so far this offseason.
