Tennessee’s guard rotation is dominated by seniors
Tennessee leans heavily on a group of veteran guards.
The Vols start the senior trio of Zakai Zeigler, Jahmai Mashack and Chaz Lanier. Jordan Gainey is the sixth man and has been dynamic the last two games.
Carr chose to leave the program on Monday. He will likely enter the transfer portal when it opens in late March. He could pursue a medical redshirt as he played in four games this season before injuring his left thumb.
