The four-star point Guard includes Tennessee in Top Five, which announces the commitment date

Four star Point Guard Chance Mallory published its top 5 on Thursday afternoon, including Tennessee Basketball and has his date of commitment.

Mallory announces his commitment on March 22nd and is up to a top group that includes Maryland, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Virginia Tech.

The 5-foot 9-Point Guard is a four-star recruit and the No. 55 player in recruitment class 2025 in accordance with the 247Sports Composite Rankt lists. Mallory is also the No. 9 Point Guard in its class and the No. 3 player in the state of Virginia.

The Blue Chip Recimate is a former Virginia committee who retired after Tony Bennett announced his retirement. Mallory comes from Charlottesville, Virginia is still considering with most that he does not make a decision when the cavaliers find Bennett's replacement.

But Mallory set his decision date before Virginia called Bennetts replacement. Virginia will probably have named a new coach until March 22, but how all factors affect the chances of the cavaliers will end up with Mallory is uncertain.

Mallory took three visits to Tennessee during his recruitment and visited the Vols for their regular season finals against Kentucky for the first time last March. He returned to Tennessee for a visit in December when his high school, St. Anne's Belfield School, played in a Christmas tournament at Knoxville Catholic. Mallory last came to the Vols Matchup against Florida on the first day of February.

Maryland is another important player Mallory because of his connections to the terrapins and plays for an Aau team by Under Armor from Baltimore. Mallory also officially visited Vanderbilt in February. That was his first official visit to the Commodores.

Tennessee currently has two signatories in his 2025 recruitment class in four-star wings Amari Evans and four-star center De'wayne Brown. This is an incredibly important recruitment class for Rick Barnes and Tennessee Basketball, as the eight scholarships with which they can work to fill out their squad for the 2025-26 season.

The Vols have six seniors on their current squad, including the returnees Zakai Zeigler, Jahmai Mashack and Jordan Gainey as well as the incoming transfers Darlinstone Dubar, Chaz Lanier and Igor Milicic. They started the season with two scholarships that were not occupied. Cam Carr left the program for the spring semester three.
