Tennessee in top 5 for 5-star forward

The Vols might have a shot to land this 5-star forward.

Tennessee basketball is in the mix to land an elite talent in the 2022 recruiting class, as 5-star power forward Brandon Huntley-Hatfield released his top five schools on Friday.

Tennessee is competing with Auburn, Ole Miss, Kansas and Wake Forest for Huntley-Hatfield’s signature.

Huntley-Hatfield is a 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward that is rated as the No. 1 power forward in his class, and the No. 6 player nationally by the 247Sports Composite.

Although he plays his high school basketball at Scotland Performance Institute in Scotland, Pennsylvania, Huntley-Hatfield is a Clarksville, Tennessee native.

A lot of time will pass before Huntley-Hatfield’s recruitment comes to an end, as the Vols are looking to add to its 2021 recruiting class, as well. Tennessee is still in the running and will have an entire recruiting cycle to convince him in coming to Knoxville in 2022.
