Finally some news that isn’t about football.
Rick Barnes met with a prospect recently … at a Cracker Barrel.
Tennessee Basketball’s head coach was spotted with a transfer target in the unusual spot on Friday morning.
Elyjah Freeman, a 6’8 freshman from Lincoln Memorial, is ranked as 247Sports’ No. 119 overall transfer, but the No. 25 small forward in the portal.
Freeman averaged 18.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
He’s extremely efficient, shooting 58/45/80 splits.
The pair was spotted in Middlesboro, Kentucky on Friday morning eating breakfast.
Freeman would be a massive asset to Tennessee next year, but don’t expect his tenure to last more than a year if all goes right.
He’s already drawn the eyes of NBA scouts and would likely go pro after next season.
