Tennessee is focusing its coaching search on Michael White of Louisiana Tech.

The Volunteers are looking for a replacement for Cuonzo Martin, who left the program for California.

A source told CBSSports.com that UT has informally contacted some "A-list" candidates but that the interest hasn't been mutual. Another source told CBSSports.com that at least one potential candidate expressed no interest mostly because Tennessee's roster is in bad shape.

White just finished his third season at Louisiana Tech, where he averaged 28 wins over the past two seasons and finished tied for first both years. 

California has hired Cuonzo Martin to replace Mike Montgomery as head coach.

Martin has spent the past three seasons at Tennessee.

Martin was previously head coach at Missouri State.

Jarnell Stokes will forego his senior season at Tennessee and enter the 2014 NBA Draft.

Stokes was a first-team All-SEC selection as a junior this year. He owns or shares 10 Tennessee statistical records.

"I have made the decision to forgo my senior season and enter the NBA draft," Stokes said in a statement Friday. "I will always be a Vol for Life."
