Vanderbilt Lands Two Transfers

Barrett committed after a solid sophomore year with the Tigers. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder started 14 of 33 games, averaging 8.6 points, 3 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game. Barrett stepped up big time this season after limited freshman minutes. His highlight came late February against Tennessee, dropping a career-high 28 points on 12-17 shooting all inside the arc.

Deck wrapped his buffs 10 years strong with 22 points, 8 boards, and 3 blocks on 10-13 shooting in their big 12 tournament.
