The Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball have been on fire this transfer portal cycle, as Rick Barnes has landed nearly every player he has targeted. With the latest addition of Juke Harris, Barnes now holds the top portal class in the country.

“Tennessee basketball keeps adding to its star-studded transfer portal haul, adding Wake Forest guard Juke Harris on Monday, May 4. Harris, the No. 2-ranked overall player in the transfer portal in USA TODAY's rankings, averaged 21.4 points with 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game last season on 44.4% shooting. He chose the Vols over Michigan, which he visited, and North Carolina, among others. Harris' commitment lifts Tennessee's portal haul to No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports' class rankings,” USA Today’s Austin Curtright wrote.

Barnes has added plenty of offensive options, which was a clear priority entering the portal.

“This year, we knew that we wanted more offense,” said Barnes on Rocky Top Insider’s “RTI Low Down.” “We didn’t want to really rely on two or three guys… We don’t want to coach these guys on every play - we want some guys that can go create offense.”
