By ADAM ZAGORIA

Tennessee added a major piece on Friday when Sacred Heart grad transfer E.J. Anosike committed to the Vols.

The 6-foot-6 East Orange, N.J. native averaged 15.7 points and 11.6 rebounds last season at Sacred Heart, and will be immediately eligible at Tennessee.

I want Thank God and for everyone who helped me get to this point in my career. I am excited for what the future holds for me. With that being said I am excited to announce my commitment to the University of Tennessee. I can’t wait to join my family in Knoxville!

Tennessee lost Jordan Bowden, Lamonte Turner and Jalen Johnson from last year’s team but adds five-star point guard Jaden Spring, five-star guard Keon Johnson, four-star forward Corey Walker and Anosike, making them a team capable of a deep run in March.
