What’s Next for the Volunteers?
The Vols have a lot to look forward to next season, with the team’s latest transfer signings and especially for returning players like Zakai Zeigler, Santiago Vescovi, and Jahmai Mashack.
Mashack, as a sophomore, made an impact and is expected to continue to grow and develop his game in the coming season. As a fifth-year player, Vescovi brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team, having already played in over 90 games throughout his college career. He’s been a standout player since his freshman year, and fans are eager to see how he’ll continue to grow and develop his game. Meanwhile, Zeigler has already proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team, with his strong defensive skills and ability to score points when needed.
With two new transfer signings and returning players who have already proven themselves to be valuable assets to the team, Tennessee basketball is going to be scary in the SEC next season.
