The Tennessee Lady Vols have secured a significant addition to their roster, landing a commitment from Georgia transfer forward Zhen Craft. The 6-foot-2 freshman announced her decision to join head coach Kim Caldwell's program, marking a key early win in the transfer portal for the new-look Lady Vols.
Craft brings promising size and efficiency to Knoxville. In her debut season with the Bulldogs, she averaged 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds in just under 16 minutes per game, showcasing her potential by shooting an impressive 46.9% from the field. Her ability to contribute in limited minutes suggests a high ceiling for development in Caldwell's system.
The connection to Tennessee was strengthened by a strategic staff hire, as Caldwell recently brought former Georgia assistant Isoken Uzamere onto her staff. This familiar face likely played a pivotal role in guiding Craft through the portal process and to Rocky Top. Craft celebrated her decision on social media, posting "We all got a plan #committed #ladyvols" on Instagram, signaling a new chapter for both the player and the program.
