Tennessee hoops makes another transfer portal splash with VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr.

About this episode

The episode discusses Tennessee basketball's recent addition of VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr. and the implications for the team's roster.

On the newest episode of the GoVols247 Podcast, Patrick Brown and Ben McKee break down the latest transfer portal splash for Tennessee basketball. Rick Barnes and the Vols struck again with the commitment of VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr., the fifth transfer addition for Tennessee in this portal window. The No. 18 overall player in the portal, Hill capped his breakout sophomore season with the Rams by torching North Carolina in the NCAA tournament. His 34 points and late baskets scored the upset for VCU. Ben breaks down what made Hill pick Tennessee over Kansas, his fit with the 2026-27 team and why he can be viewed as a like-for-like replacement for outgoing point guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie. We also reset the big-picture look at Tennessee's roster overhaul. With Ethan Burg announcing he is returning to his home in Israel after one season, the Vols have another available spot to use in the portal. Tennessee has four incoming 2026 recruits to go along with its five portal additions. Ben also gave the latest on Tennessee's pursuit of Wake Forest scorer Juke Harris and dropped some frontcourt names linked to the Vols. Thank you for listening and/or watching!
