Four-star shooting guard Freddie Dilione signs with Tennessee
Four-star shooting guard Freddie Dilione signed with the Tennessee basketball program on Wednesday, the first day of college basketball’s fall signing period.
The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Dilione is a four-star prospect out of Word of God Christian Academy in Fayetteville, N.C. He’s the No. 35 overall prospect nationally in the 2023 class according to the On3 Consensus. He’s ranked No. 5 among shooting guards and No. 1 in the state of North Carolina.
Dilione committed to Tennessee in September, picking the Vols over Wake Forest, VCU and Virginia.
“The reason I chose Tennessee is because of the way they recruited me at a high level,” Dilione told On3 at the time. “Also, I trust coach Barnes and his staff to push me to the next level and achieve my ultimate dream and make it to the league.”
“They’re really big on skill development,” Dilione added of the Vols, “and getting guys to the next level. They are like a big family over there. It’s just a great organization they have.”
Tennessee adding ‘confident bucket-getter’
Dilione is one of four prospects in Tennessee’s 2023 recruiting class, alongside four-star center JP Estrella, four-star small forward Cameron Carr and three-star power forward Cade Phillips.

On3 Scouting Summary — Freddie Dilione
Freddie Dilione is a confident bucket-getter. He has good positional size with lengthy arms and broad shoulders. He is comfortable on the ball. Dilione is naturally an off-guard, secondary ball-handler, although he has shown he can be a primary ball-handler in pick and roll type situations. The reads are the question, decisively getting to his spots and scoring off the ball. Dilione is a good straight-line athlete, and his confidence and ability to score on the ball are notable.
