Fulkerson, a member of the 2019-20 All SEC Team and 2020 Preseason All SEC First Team member, was one of 25 finalists for the 2021 Wooden Award. He battled injuries for most of the 2020-21 season, but is poised to become a member of the 1,000 point and 700 rebound club at Tennessee early next season.

Fulkerson has appeared in 131 career games for the Vols, making 61 starts, including 54 of his past 55 games.

Fulkerson was injured in Tennessee’s quarterfinal win of the SEC Tournament against Florida and did not play in the semifinal loss to Alabama or NCAA Tournament.

And he will not be asked to play as the sole big man. He will be allowed to play forward instead of center or power forward.

That's great news for UT. Glad for him after the way his season ended.

Abdul Ado rumored to be next, although to me a guard makes more sense to add some depth to the backcourt.

Chandler/Vescovi
Powell/Bailey
James/Mashack/Q
Fulky/Nkamhoua
Huntley Hatfield/Aidoo/Plavsic/Tamba

Can't wait to see Tennessee get preseason hype and then lose in the first round again.

Do you ever wonder how your life would have been different if you had gotten enough oxygen as a newborn?

VOLS are undefeated in the first round with Fulky. So unless Omar Payne WWEs him again it looks like you will be incorrect.

Wut?

Would love an experienced big enforcer. Aidoo needs a year and we know Plasvic isn’t going to magically become an SEC level player.

I feel like that might scare someone off though in the front court.

That was the rumor on another board but who knows. Guard may make a little more sense looking at the roster.

I completely forgot how gruesome that elbow injury was. Didn’t expect to see that in his announcement video.

Shouldn’t matter. It’s all about versatility. His ability to flop from any spot on the court is legendary.

Kentucky fans love some John Fulkerson. Obsessed.

They needed someone to get mad at over “flopping” after Grant left so Fulky was a natural fit for a guy they love to hate being white, skinny and goofy.

Breh I can’t take Tennessee serious with Vescovi. Mother fricker is too slow.
