Welcome into the Go Balls 24-7 podcast.

I am Patrick Brown.

I'm hosting this episode.

I will be joined by Ben McKee,

and we have a huge commitment to talk about for Tennessee basketball.

The Vols have already put together a great portal class, and this edition will take it

to the next level, even from there, as Tennessee has landed Duke Harris, a touted

Wake Forest transfer.

Ben, tell us about Duke Harris.

Why is this such a huge deal?

And what does this mean for Tennessee's outlook for next season?

Tennessee has landed its crown jewel of its transfer portal class.

Even before Duke committed, Tennessee's transfer class ranked number four in the country,

I believe.

So we'll see how far, how much they can climb with the addition of Duke and Duke now in the boat,

but it is by far one of the best portal classes in the country.

And you look at what Tennessee has been able to do in the high school ranks with the top 15

recruiting class, a portal class that at minimum is top five in the country,

it might be top three once Duke is accounted for.

Tennessee has filled its roster with as much talent as anybody in the country.

And this solidifies Tennessee as a true Final Four contender, at least on paper, they had the roster

to go make the Final Four now, I think, with Duke because he is that type of player.
