University of Georgia assistant coach Don Beasley says Tennessee committed “at least three” recruiting violations this season and should be placed on probation.

Beasley claimed a Knoxville real estate agent, representing Tennessee’s athletic interests, violated NCAA rules by visting Georgia freshman center Cedric Henderson 10 days prior to the national signing date.

Beasley also accused Tennessee of making excessive recruiting visits to Jerry Pryor, a 6-8 forward from Statesboro, who signed with Clemson. Pryor’s high school coach Hugh Yaughan, confirmed he had written a letter telling the NCAA that Tennessee made four visits to the school--one more than allowed.
