McClung released his top seven last week, with Tennessee not included. It is unclear whether the Vols made a significant effort to bring in McClung, but his Knoxville connections immediately drew speculation that he would join UT once he announced his transfer.
McClung’s sister, Anna, is a former Tennessee soccer player and his hometown of Gate City, Virginia is less than a two hour drive from Knoxville.
Texas Tech gets a guard that averaged over 15 points per game in the 2019-20 season, while Tennessee returns most of its production from last season and brings in a top five recruiting class.
