Flipping back and forth between tonight's Tennessee game and the Orlando Magic game, the Magic broadcast just did a segment talking about how Banchero (#1 overall pick) and Jabari Smith Jr (#3 overall pick) were originally planning on committing to Tennessee to play for Rick Barnes prior to COVID.
Apparently, Paolo, Jabari, and Kennedy were all close friends and had a group chat together discussing playing together at Tennessee.
I'm sure those of you who follow recruiting closely remember or were aware of this - but as I wasn't, I want to cry at the thought of those two guys playing with Kennedy Chandler and company last season. I'll try to get video of the Orlando Magic segment.
