Unexpected Twist: Top 2026 Four-Star Power Forward Chooses Tennessee, Snubbing Auburn and ACC Heavyweights
Tennessee’s basketball recruiting class for 2026 just got a serious boost with the addition of four-star power forward Manny Green, who made his commitment official this past Friday. Standing 6-foot-6 and packing 205 pounds, Green hails from Cedar Grove High in Ellenwood, Georgia, and he edged out some notable contenders like Auburn, South Florida, Georgia Tech, and California to join the Vols. Ranked as the 15th-best power forward nationally and the fourth-best player in Georgia by 247Sports, he’s a prospect Tennessee has been eyeing closely since offering him a scholarship back in early July 2024. Prior to Tennessee’s offer, Green’s journey attracted attention from a slew of programs including Cincinnati — the first to extend a scholarship offer last summer — as well as Indiana, Clemson, Florida, LSU, and more. This signing marks Tennessee’s second commitment in the 2026 class, joining Ralph Scott, while their 2025 class is already shaped by six solid pledges. It’ll be intriguing to see how Green fits into the Vols’ vision moving forward. LEARN MORE
Tennessee added a commitment to its 2026 basketball recruiting class.
Four-star power forward Manny Green committed to the Vols over Auburn, South Florida, Georgia Tech and California on Friday.
The 6-foot-6, 205-pound prospect is from Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Georgia. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 15 power forward in the class and No. 4 player in Georgia.
Tennessee offered Green a scholarship on July 2, 2024. He will officially visit Tennessee on Saturday.
Cincinnati was the first school to offer him a scholarship on July 25, 2023. Other schools to offer him scholarships include Indiana, Clemson, Florida, Kennesaw State, Cal State Bakersfield, Georgia State, Missouri, LSU, Virginia Tech and Vanderbilt.
Green is Tennessee’s second 2026 basketball commitment, joining small forward Ralph Scott. The Vols have six commitments in their 2025 basketball recruiting class: forward DeWayne Brown, small forward Amari Evans, point guard Troy Henderson, forward Nate Ament, shooting guard Clarence Massamba and shooting guard Ethan Burg.
