There is no doubt that Grant Williams has thoroughly enjoyed his time with Tennessee basketball. It could be the reason that reports suggest he’s not 100 percent certain on what he wants to do. Williams clearly is conflicted on his emotions.
On top of that, Williams may feel like there’s some unfinished business for him on Rocky Top. This past year, his team lost out on the regular season SEC title in the final regular season game. They lost the SEC Tournament title in the championship game. Then they lost out on a chance at the Elite Eight with seconds left in regulation.
Considering the fact that they lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament the year before off a last-second shot to eventual Final Four attendee Loyola-Chicago, the Vols have come very close under Barnes. Combining that with Williams’s love for the Vols could make him want to stay on Rocky Top his senior season.

Hey, you hear it all the time. Provided they don’t get hurt and do have a solid pro career, players who do stay with their colleges all four years never grow to regret it. The same could be the case for Williams, and maybe he just doesn’t want to let it all go.
