Evans wasn’t the only guard from Tennessee to enter the portal. Bishop Boswell decided to explore his options, announced Monday. He spent two seasons with Tennessee and has two years of eligibility remaining.
Boswell started in all but one of his 34 appearances for the Volunteers this past season. He averaged 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, while shooting 42.7% from the field and 38.5% from beyond the arc.
Boswell tied his career-high of 13 points in Tennessee’s second-round NCAA Tournament win over Virginia. He also notched nine assists in the contest.
In his debut collegiate campaign, Boswell made 28 appearances, but only averaged 3.8 minutes per game. In February, Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes praised Boswell for his dedication to improvement after a quiet freshman season.
“When we recruited him, we knew what we were losing—tough, hard-nosed guys on defense. We wanted him to get minutes as a freshman, and it didn’t come as quickly as hoped, but to his credit, he kept working,” Barnes said.
