Video: Interview with Vols hoops newcomer Chris Darrington

One of the Vols men’s basketball newcomers is 6’1 combo guard Chris Darrington from Toledo, Ohio, who has transferred in from Vincennes University in Indiana.

Vols coach Rick Barnes on Darrington:
Chris brings two qualities we were looking for: confidence and the ability to score the basketball. Chris’ experience at Vincennes was valuable because he has developed an appreciation for what goes into winning. A lot of guys can score, but not many can do so and win. He has been very well coached, and we expect him to come into our program with a great foundation.”

Watch Darrington’s visit with reporters at Monday night’s Pilot Rocky Top League.
