Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed Burg signing with the Vols on Thursday.
"We are excited for Ethan and his family to join Tennessee basketball," Barnes said. "He is a confident young man who plays with an edge. Ethan is a talented combo guard with backcourt versatility who is excellent in transition and can really get to the basket off the bounce.
"He also has the ability to shoot the ball. Ethan's experience playing high-level international basketball should help him make a smooth transition to the SEC."
