Tennessee announced Wednesday that Derrick Walker and Yves Pons have signed a National Letter of Intent, the first day of the spring signing period in college basketball.
The 6-foot-8, 250-pound Walker plans to enroll at UT this summer. Derrick is going to blend nicely into our team due to his combination of size, strength and toughness, UT coach Rick Barnes said in a school statement. Were also excited about his basketball IQ and the fact that hes a vocal defender, a good rebounder and an excellent ball-handler and passer for a player of his size."
...Yves will bring elite athleticism, explosiveness and versatility to our program - both on the perimeter and inside. Hes a long, athletic wing who can defend multiple positions, play fast and finish in transition, along with rebound on both ends. The SEC is one of the most physical and athletic leagues in the country, and those are two areas Yves and our team have a chance to excel in.
