Rick Barnes has found an extraordinary amount of success on the recruiting trail in the last two years, finishing with a top five recruiting class in 2020, and he is off to a good start in 2021 with commitments of 5-star guard Kennedy Chandler and 4-star forward Jahmai Mashack.
Barnes’ pursuit of elite talent for 2021 continued with an offer being extended to Jonas Aidoo, a 4-star center from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Aidoo would give the Vols a big presence down low with his 6-foot-11, 215-pound frame.
The 247Sports Composite rates Aidoo as the No. 20 center in his class, and the No. 4 player in North Carolina.
Several other SEC programs are pursuing Aidoo, such as Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and South Carolina. Houston, Miami, Wake Forest, St. John’s and others have also offered him.
