A deep recruiting push targets top point guards and versatile big men, aiming to rebuild a championship‑ready roster

Tennessee's basketball program is making a bold push in the 2027 recruiting cycle, zeroing in on some of the nation's most coveted prospects.

Five‑star point guard Reese Alston, ranked No. 9 nationally and the fourth‑best point guard by 247Sports, has already taken official visits to Louisville and Wichita State and an unofficial trip to Kentucky, underscoring his serious interest in the Vols.

Joining him on the radar are Nasir Anderson, the No. 2 point guard in the class according to the 247Sports composite, and fellow four‑star standouts Antonio Pemberton and Micah Gordon, who have both stepped onto campus for official visits.

The Vols are also courting shooting guard Justin Wise and center Chris Brown, with scheduled visits on September 19, while keeping tabs on Terrence Hill Jr, Jalen Washington and Brandon Jenkins, additional prospects who could add depth to the roster.
