Notably, Barker's move to Tennessee marks her second transfer in college basketball. She originally joined Texas A&M as the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2022 class, making history as the highest-ranked recruit the Aggies had ever landed. She spent two years with the Aggies, averaging 12.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as a freshman and 12.2 ppg with 7.6 rpg as a sophomore.

Barker then transferred to UCLA for her recently concluded junior season, where she averaged 7.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Her final appearance for the Bruins came in their NCAA Final Four 85-51 loss to UConn. Now, for her senior year, she's headed for a fresh start at Tennessee with the Lady Vols.

Five-star point guard Mia Pauldo, who has just concluded her high school senior basketball season with Morris Catholic High School, will also be joining the Lady Vols. Notably, Mia and the Morris Catholic Crusaders ended the season with an unbeaten 28-0 record, alongside a state championship victory.

Mia will join the Lady Vols with her twin sister, Mya Pauldo, alongside highly-rated prospects Deniya Prawl, Jaida Civil and Lauren Hurst.

After a long period of anticipation from fans, Nate eventually announced his commitment on Sunday, choosing the Volunteers over Duke, Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisville, among others. He said it wasn't an easy decision, which is why it took longer than expected:

"It took me a little longer than most. I wanted to make sure it was the right fit. I could have gone to any of the five finalists. Or even to schools outside the finalists."

Nate Ament will be joining four-star prospects Amari Evans and DeWayne Brown, who have also committed to the Volunteers.
