Former Harvard Crimson Forward Chris Ledlum has announced that he has transferred to the Tennessee Volunteers for next season. Head Coach Rick Barnes is excellent when it comes to getting the most out of talented players whether they be straight out of high school or from the transfer portal. Ledlum was one of the top college basketball players to enter his name into the transfer portal this offseason and was highly recruited by programs once he made the transfer official. Ledlum was also a highly touted recruit coming out of high school.
Congrats to @chris_ledlum on his commitment to Tennessee Men’s Basketball!

This past season with the Harvard Crimson, Chris Ledlum averaged 18.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game. He paired those numbers with a field goal percentage of 47.3 percent and a three-point percentage of 29.4 percent. Tennessee is reloading for next season in the hopes that they can compete in both the SEC and the NCAA. They have a few players testing the 2023 NBA Draft waters but have also returned and added some serious talent for the 2023-24 college basketball season. Ledlum should be a key rotational player for next season and will likely be a starter on the team.
