Plans to stay for sixth year Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes confirmed Monday that Anosike plans to return to the Volunteers in 2021-22 for a sixth and final season of eligibility, Mike Wilson of the Knoxvill...
Impact Anosike, a redshirt senior who joined the Volunteers as a graduate transfer from Sacred Heart, will look to take advantage of an NCAA rule that grants all players an extra year of eligibility due to the affect of the coronavirus pandemic on the 2020-21 season. A two-year starter at Sacred Heart who averaged a double-double in 2019-20, Anosike has predictably settled into a smaller role with Tennessee. He's come off the bench for all 10 of his appearances with the Vols while averaging 3.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Though Vescovi admitted in his post-game interview that he was struggling to find a rhythm with his shot in warmups, he quickly caught fire once the opening tip arrived. He drilled each of his first four three-point attempts on the day, giving the Volunteers a 14-point cushion at one point in the first half. The sophomore has been running hot from distance for much of his last six games, drilling three or more treys in five of those contests.

Cleared to play Walker (undisclosed) has been cleared to play but still has yet to see the court this season, Grant Ramey of 247sports.com reports.
Impact It's unclear how long Walker has been available as he was not active for the team's season-opener and hasn't gotten any playing time yet. It's unlikely Walker will receive any meaningful minutes on a very talented Tennessee team that starts two seniors in the frontcourt.
