If you have 20 min, this is truly an amazing watch. You may wanna grab some tissues for the final 5 minutes.
I love these 2 guys! Not only some of the best players for UT, but truly great individuals. They will be missed.

Agree with everything. And really, it appears we have a team full of these type young men. One of the many reasons I enjoy watching them play.What an incredible set of ambassadors for the Vol program. Talented, focused, driven yet high character, unselfish, articulate, and humble. What other program in the country can put forward a pair of representatives that match these qualities?
UT has been blessed to have these guys in their program for five years in an era where one to two years is the norm for top players in today’s game. It is a testament not only to these two special players but to their parents, past coaches, and Coach Barnes for assembling such a quality program from the problems that he inherited.
My daughter and I met JJJ a few years ago as well. Very likable person and he even talked hoops with my kid.I watched JJJ at the UT basketball camp for the past 2 seasons and will forever be a fan. He was always surrounded by kids and truly seemed to enjoy every minute. My son got a pic with him both years and has them framed in his room.
They all were great kids but he was there every day. Always with a big, infectious smileMy daughter and I met JJJ a few years ago as well. Very likable person and he even talked hoops with my kid.
Honestly, I would love to see Vescovi come on the coaching staff if pro ball doesn't work out for him. I'd have to think he might make a good coach.We are really going to miss these guys! I would love to see Santi stay as an assistant coach. JJJ may have a shot at pro ball somewhere. Maybe Santi too, who knows?
Glad they moved on really. Both brought things to the team. ON actually became Karl Malone in about 3 games / yr. But we needed to flip the roster. I'm glad we have Phillips and Estrella getting thier feet wet in year 1.Did anyone catch the part about trying to convince Uros and Olivier to return? Was JJJ trying to get them to walk on for a year?
