Tennessee Coach Hails Prospect Ralph Scott
Rick Barnes, the University of Tennessee basketball coach, said he is excited to start working with Bermudian prospect Ralph Scott.
The 17-year-old choose Tennessee over offers from Texas A&M University, the University of Houston and Purdue University in September.
The 6ft 8in small forward, who attends the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, is a former Warwick Academy student.
“Ralph burst on to the scene late and is still developing, but we are so excited about his immense potential, as he is a young man with so much in front of him,” Barnes said in a school release yesterday [November 18].
“He is a legit 6ft 8in wing with long arms who possesses both a tremendous feel for the game and an impressive ability to shoot the ball with excellent form.
“Ralph plays at a big-time prep programme where he performs on a national stage against top-level competition, which will only help further prepare him for the rigors of the SEC.”
Scott joins forward Manny Green and point guard Marquis Clark in Tennessee’s 2026 class.
So Proud of you!! Looking forward to experiencing great things at Ole Rocky Top!
