Tennessee basketball got its season started earlier this week, defeating Wofford at home behind an impressive second half. As the Vols prepare for their next game against Radford on Monday, the coaching staff is on the road recruiting for next year and beyond.

According to a report from Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers, Rick Barnes and a pair of assistant coaches made the trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to see Nasir Anderson at Prolific Prep.

Anderson is a five-star point guard recruit, according to 247. He is the No. 8 player in the 2027 class, No. 3 point guard and No. 5 player from the state of Florida. He is initially from Savannah, Georgia, though.

Anderson took an official visit to see Tennessee on October 15. He also took visits to see Providence, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. There is currently no timeline on when he will announce his commitment, though.

As he begins his senior year of high school, Anderson stands at a listed 6-foot-3, 215 pounds. He’s considered an elite driver who can finish through contact at a high level with a sturdy frame. He also possesses positive attributes that should translate to high-level defense at the next level.

“Beyond his physicality, Anderson has a tight handle, terrific balance, and body control, both on the ground and in mid-air, along with an advanced lay-up package and the vertical explosiveness to rise-up when he has momentum,” 247 director of scouting Adam Finkelstein wrote. “He snaps passes and has made notable strides with his ability to read the floor and create for others. He averaged 4.3 assists against 3 turnovers this spring in 3SSB play, but handed out 9.7 assists against just 2.7 turnovers at the Adidas NextGen Invitational in late May.”

Currently, Tennessee has no commits in the 2027 or 2028 classes. However, the Vols are in a strong position for recruits in both cycles and are continuing to host priority targets for visits.
