Zakai Zeigler on why he chose Tennessee
“I just felt really comfortable with the coaching staff and being around them,” Zeigler said. “They made me feel like I was at home and being under Coach (Rick) Barnes…I already know what he could do for me. He has put smaller guards in the NBA and has helped them be successful at the next level. I feel I could be the next one that he could do so with. He’s a legend and his name speaks for itself.”
