• I watched J.P. Prince the summer before he entered Arizona as a freshman and thought his play was uninspired and lacked intensity. But the J.P. Prince that has given Bruce Pearl's Tennessee Vols a jolt upon becoming eligible at the end of the fall semester is a completely different player.
Prince is perfect for the Vols' frenetic style because he thrives in open-court basketball. But, he has been equally effective -- offensively and defensively -- in a cerebral half-court setting. That's no surprise because his dad, John, was a long-time college coach. Prince will be a huge difference-maker come SEC play.
