Title: JJJ withdraws from NBA Draft, will return to UT next season…
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 21, 2022, 09:30:05 EDT
Not surprising. I expect a huge year out him.

Now we just wait to hear from Vescovi.

Great news!  Big because of the leadership he provides.  Should be another fun season to look forward to.

I feel sure Vescovi will be back. I just don't see his game in the NBA. Very good college player.

Only thing Vescovi could/might do is play overseas? And he'd have to pretty much be done with college to do that.

That’s the main concern. But with NIL, we can probably match whatever he could make internationally.

IF, we can make it work around his visa

I have no idea how that works....Does a student and athlete in good standing make a difference or when their visa is up they are gone?

There is a convenience store here that's owned...managed and operated by Indians (Hindu)....They for years have 1 or 2 working in the store under a visa....You'll see them everyday you go in until their visa is up and they are gone back to India....Then you'll see their replacements until the visa is up and rinse and repeat.

For staying in the US, sure.  If you mean he can't get NIL because he has a VISA, that doesn't make any sense.

Not only that, but we’re full, scholarship wise. Rumor is he’s going to walk on.  :wow:

If he’s fully healthy, he’ll be a Naismith candidate.

BTW, I had just read the news and came back here to share. When I saw MY post at the top of the board, I was like “wait, did I post that in my sleep?” Then I realized it was from last year. :dielaughing:

Maybe we should make this post an annual tradition, like grounhog day or Yogi Berra quote day (he may or may not have said "It's like deja vu all over again."

If JJJ stays here 3 more years he will break Fulky's record for years played at UT.  :biggrin:
