Four-star PG Chance Mallory sets commitment date, has Tennessee in final five
Four-star point guard Chance Mallory, a Tennessee Basketball target and one of the top uncommitted guards left in the class of 2025, has narrowed his list of schools to five and has set a commitment date of March 22, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.
Mallory will choose between Tennessee, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Maryland and Virginia Tech.
The 5-foot-9, 170-pound prospect out of Charlottesville, Va., is ranked No. 49 overall in the On3 ratings. He’s the No. 6 point guard in the class and the No. 2 overall player in the state of Virginia.
He was previously committed to Virginia before the sudden retirement of former Virginia head coach Tony Bennett in Virginia.
Vols hosted Chance Mallory on official visit earlier this season
Tennessee hosted Mallory on an official visit on February 1, during the 66-46 win over Florida at Food City Center..
“I mean, Tennessee is Tennessee,” Mallory told Tipton earlier this year. “Their facilities are top notch. They keep their players to a high standard, which they should, they’re the top team in the country right now. They hold their players accountable and keep them under control which is nice.”
The Vols are also recruiting 2025 five-star shooting guard Brayden Burries, who visited Tennessee earlier this season.
Burries, a Riverside, Calif., native, is the No. 8 overall player in the On3 Ratings. He’s the No. 2 shooting guard in the class and the No. 2 player in the state of California.
Burries has a connection to Tennessee through his mother, who was a pitcher for the Lady Vols softball program.
