"I'm looking at the possibility of Tennessee. I've visited there three times total and I was there last weekend with Mack."
Downs discussed the trip to Tennessee and the situation right now.
"It was a really good visit," he said. "It wasn't the first time I had been there. I've seen everything and I was there with just four other recruits.
"I just never thought at the time I committed to Duke that Tennessee would come after me. Then, they were going through all these coaching changes. I liked all the coaches and have always been a fan of Tennessee."
Meanwhile, what's his status with Duke?
"I talked to the coaches there yesterday," he said. "I told them I was considering changing and they understood."
