Just wondering does he speak fluent English

Not sure about his English, but fortunately I think he speaks basketball pretty good.

I don't care if he speaks fluent pig Latin, as long as he does what this team needs him to do.

Bert’s translation: “Denero!”

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Looks like we got some threads regarding SV that need to be merged.

There are 10 last time I counted. Based on that he'll be one bad ass mamo jamo.

But I thought the NCAA hated UT and he would never possibly get cleared?

You can’t be completely humorless can you?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He’s fluent in English

Lmao I hope he does this

I asked for a special gift this Christmas and Santa delivered Santi.

Idk but a lot barely do in the south so he’d fit in.

 

[RAVOL]

Looking forward to watching him play. He will help this team because he is a true point guard. I believe JJJ has a good future but is not ready to play point at this level of BBall.

Bob's going to buy Rosetta Stone.

James is needed off the ball rebounding. Bowden needs a therapist. Johnson needs confidence. And Uros needs to play ASAP. If they get to 17 wins the season will be a success.

Agree, really agree, agree again and it is not happening, but would be nice. 17 wins would be a success, but 18 regular season wins and one SEC Tourney gets UT in, imo

He seems to speak fluent point guard.
That's more important.

Feel better bud

 

[Captain Mitch]

Honest thought, what are you all expecting from him today?

10 minutes 8 points. 2 rebounds. 4 assists

[VOLINVONORE]

He is just what we need ASAP.

He’s starting

 

[butchna]

Vescovi has at least 8 VolNation threads and hasn't played a single minute yet. Don't suppose we're expecting a bit much from an 18 year old joining a team going into their Power 5 conference schedule with a week to prepare are we?

Born out of desperation...can’t be helped.

 

[Jimmy Football]

He’s starting

At this rate, he’s gonna end up with his jersey retired before tip-off.

 

[cncchris33]

Two weeks ago: Highly unlikely he plays this year.
One week ago: He'll play when he's ready, huge learning curve.
Today: He draws his first career start just a day after being ruled eligible.

He is either really good or we are really desperate. Maybe both.

 

[Sudden Impact]

But I thought the NCAA hated UT and he would never possibly get cleared?

You must be thinking about UP....He probably will not be cleared this season and lose a year of eligibility...As far as SV is concerned, hard to deny him playing time as long as he met all the requirements. It was a no-brainer as long as he met the standards. I guess the NCAA, regarding these two, considers it a "push" at the expense of UP. Rules are Rules but when it comes to the Student-Athlete decisions should always be adjudicated in the Student Athlete's favor....I am sure you already knew that.

 

[feathersax]

Vescovi looks ready to play.

Me LIKE! GO VOLS.
