“Kennedy was one of our primary targets for a long time,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said in a press release. “To us, his elite speed, athleticism, defense and basketball IQ separated him from every other point guard in America, but it was his character, work ethic and toughness that really made him a perfect fit for our program. We’re very excited to have Kennedy and his family join our Tennessee basketball family.”
