Tennessee basketball lands commitment from 22-year-old international pro guard Ethan Burg

Ethan Burg, a 22-year-old combo guard from Israel, has committed to Tennessee, a source told Rivals. Burg visited the ‘Vols in late June.

He has spent the past two seasons playing professionally for Bnei Herzliya.

Burg is expected to have two to three years of college eligibility, according to a source.

He brings experience to Knoxville and his game is described as being a driver, with the ability to get to the rim and defend both guards positions. He is a scorer. While capable of knocking down shots, he is not known as a shooter.

At 6-foot-3 Burg averaged 11 points per game this season, shooting 37.% from three.

Tennessee is expected to be a top-25 team heading into the upcoming season. The Vols lose four of their five starters but return key front court pieces like Felix Okpara and Cade Phillips.

They also replenish missing pieces at the guard/wings spots, headlined by Maryland transfer PG Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Five-Star Plus+ SF Nate Ament.

Tennessee currently have the 14th best recruiting class, per the Rivals Industry Ranking.

For the first time in program history, Tennessee reached the Elite Eight in back-to-back seasons. They finished fourth in the SEC with an overall record of 30-8.
