From the transfer portal, Zhen Craft, a Georgia forward, has committed to the Lady Vols basketball program, as she revealed on April 13.
The 6-foot-2 freshman averaged 5. 7 points, 4. 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in 15. 7 minutes of playtime for the Bulldogs. From the field, made 46. 9% of the shots.
In an Instagram post, Crafty Ladivol penned a plan for everyone.
Kim Caldwell, the coach of the Lady Vols, is now in her third season with them, and she must reconstruct her whole roster. Craft is the fourth new addition since leaving the portal.
White is one of the transfer additions to the team, along with Stanford forward Harper Peterson, Northern Arizona guard Naomi White, and Liberty guard Avery Mills.
Assistant coach Isoken Uzamere, whom Caldwell brought on board on April 7, will be reunited with Craft. For the four years prior, Uzamere was a member of Katie Abrahamson-Henderson’s squad at Georgia. On April 4, Georgia and Abrahamson-Henderson came to a consensus that they should separate.
Having entered the transfer portal, all eight of the Lady Vols’ potential returners made Craft a crucial addition to Tennessee’s roster, considering he has three years of eligibility remaining. Five-star forward Oliviyah Edwards was allowed to leave her signing, leaving four-star wing Gabby Minus as the sole arriving freshman.
Although Craft began four games for Georgia, he only participated in 27 of the Bulldogs’ 32 contests.
According to ESPN, Craft, who hails from Waldorf, Maryland, was a four-star recruit and ranked No. 64 in the 2025 class, while 247Sports placed him at No. 52. Bishop McNamara High School, where she was named MVP and guided the team to a state championship, is where she graduated.
