Tennessee currently has just one commit in the 2022 recruiting class, earning a commitment from Knoxville guard B.J. Edwards.
Rick Barnes and his staff are also in the thick of Cason Wallace’s recruitment. Wallace, a unanimous five-star, is one of the best combo guards in the 2022 class and will make his college decision on Nov. 7. The Texas native released a top four of Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and UTSA earlier this month but this one is believed to be a Kentucky and Tennessee battle.

Barnes has provided Tennessee its best run of basketball recruiting in the modern era. Tennessee has recorded back-to-back top five recruiting classes and has inked five five-star recruits in the past three cycles.
