Tennessee basketball's newest commit, Clarence Massamba, has arrived on campus, and the Vols basketball social media account didn't wait to show us what he looks like in Tennessee Orange.

Tennessee also shared some highlights from his U21 French league season finale for AS Monaco this past year. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.4 steals last season, including 23 points, six rebounds, and three assists in the season finale.

The 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard was an All-State guard while playing at The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, averaging 13.0 points, a team-best 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game, plus shot 53.0 percent from the field and 42.0 percent beyond the three-point line. 

Tennessee's 2025 recruiting class isn't super flashy, but Rick Barnes has made sure to add players who can help the Vols win now, with the loss of four starters and Tennessee's sixth man at the conclusion of last season. 

Massamba will join five-star forward Nate Ament, four-star shooting guard Amari Evans, four-star center DeWayne Brown, and three-star point guard Troy Henderson in Tennessee's 2025 recruiting class. 

Massamba's unique combination of size and skill makes him a player to watch as early as his freshman season on Rocky Top. 

He also brings some much-needed depth to the Vols, joining Bishop Boswell and Louisiana Tech transfer Amaree Abram. 

Massamba can also score from anywhere on the court. His size can create unique mismatches between guards that we don't often see, giving the Vols an opportunity to use him wherever they need him.
