Tennessee Vols Pursue Harris, Ament

0:00On April 22nd, Tennessee Vols are chasing Wake Forest Transfer Guard, Duke Harris, one of the hottest names left in the portal. They're also holding out hope that Freshman Forward Nate Aement sticks around for year two instead of jumping to the 2026 NBA draft. Harris has options like Michigan and North Carolina, breathing down Tennessee's neck, both he and Aement are testing draft waters so the Vols could land one, both or neither. Vols fans are dreaming big about these two stars lighting a rocky top together. But experts say that's a long shot. Name, image and likeness deals could run seven to eight million bucks combined and with all that scoring talent already on the roster, there's just one basketball to share. Analysts, Austin Price, broke it down on the radio, pointing out the financial hurdles and ball-sharing issues. He figures Tennessee grabs at most one to push their ceiling toward another elite eight or final four run. Right now, coach Rick Barnes and crew play the waiting game with decisions likely weeks away as these guys navigate the draft process.

1:03Landing either could make the Vols legit title for it's so fingers crossed for Rocky Top.
