Recruiting is on the back-burner at this time of year, but the Vols continue to be involved with tons of big names in the 2020 class. Don’t look for any kind of decision soon but we’ve picked up some good vibes recently about where Tennessee stands with Keon Johnson, the No. 34 ranked player in the nation.

With Corey Walker Jr. (No. 29) already in the fold, adding Johnson would give the Vols a pair of borderline five-star prospects with prospects like Jaden Springer (No. 1) and Walker Kessler remaining realistic possibilities.

Going deeper into the 2021 class, one name we’ve mentioned before is Greensboro, N.C. point guard Cam Hayes. Currently ranked No. 16 in his class he’s a guy that Tennessee has made a priority and has some traction with based off recent rumblings. One thing to keep an eye on with Hayes is that there’s a strong possibility he could reclassify into the 2020 class.

If that comes to pass that’s yet another 5-star the Vols are in deep with in that class, truly a remarkable turnaround on the recruiting front from where things where two years ago.
