The Tennessee Volunteers have seen significant roster turnover during this transfer portal cycle, with Troy Henderson, Nate Ament, Ethan Burg, and Dwayne Brown among the few remaining from last season. There will be plenty of holes to fill following the wave of departures. “Forward Jaylen Carey plans to enter the transfer portal for Tennessee basketball, he said via a shared Instagram post.
He joins forward J. P. Estrella, guards Bishop Boswell and Clarence Massamba as portal entries, all announced April 6.
Forward Cade Phillips announced on April 3 his intentions to enter the portal, which opens April 7 and runs through April 21,” Knoxville News Sentinel’s Wynton Jackson wrote. The Vols are expected to be aggressive over the next few weeks, especially with Rick Barnes and the program seeing an increase in NIL resources. One name to watch is former Georgia Tech center Mouhamed Sylla.
